You can't move Hoppa from fullback with how well he's playing there. Has Meaney got enough toe for the wing?

Yes you can. His lack of acceleration is a massive issue at fullback, he simply can't get on the outside of a player or accelerate into the space available. Yes he has some silky skills and good footy sense, but we need some pace out the back.

As soon as Meaney or any other player with better acceleration and agility can do what is required from them then it's straight into fullback for him.

Pay didnt buy them to massage his feet bud....... of course hes going to fucking play them. I reckon yez are judging them 2 hard. Im not sure exactly how u learn to play first grade in reserve grade. Im not sure why where even got a thread about this 6 months away before next season starts and again after pay has showed us the direction he is trying to take, and where already upset with him because of something that is obviosly going to happen..... and where whinging already.... give it... and dean a break boys. Anyone thinking or hoping he wont give the 2 new recruits a run at some stage is highly fucking dellusional.
Mate is anyone here giving pay shit ????? It’s just an opinion to be honest I think Frawley is better than both of them cheers

They are both good young players. They'll get a go if they deserve it and I'm sure they will next year at some stage.

If Meaney does well in the pre season, he should be given first dibs at fullback. Hoppa is playing well, but hes just to slow. He cant beat a man.
His defence is suspect, and he is quite often out of position. I know he has good hands, but that seems to be his best attribute.

Lewis will be targeted much more next year....can't see both rookies starting, at least first up.
Lewis and Foran and if Foran stays fit it'll stay that way.

We will only be able to judge cogger fairly after
1.has trained a full pre season with us
2. Strung 5-10 games together playing the same pos in the same role.
3. Has a stable spin to work with.

No -one knows how they will go. They earn a spot than I have no problems with them running around. Good luck to them all.

Too early to call. Let them at least have a pre-season with us.

They need more games to see if they will be any good, Meany has a fumble under pressure that should get better, can't see him replacing Hoppa just yet.

I meant to add, at the moment. If a better option crops up - sure, but the job is Hoppa's until Meaney can offer more.

Meaney
Reasonable goal kicker
Plays more like a five eight in attack
Does have a short kicking game
Good pass
Reasonable speed
Can catch a high ball
Follows play well
But shys away from contact
Needs a lot of work in defensive contact
Doesn’t like doing any hit ups at all
Needs at least 5kg and do some hit ups and may be ok
Only young and still growing
A long way short of solving our fullback problems
Does show potential though
In Dean I trust
At this point in time Hoppa and Foran still better options

What is with the Foran hate? He was good the first few games. At 60% fitness Foran is better than Cogger.
I understand he is being over payed but that doesn't take away from the fact that he can play a little.
