I watched him play fb at belmore this season.
Good to know, the club have him listed as a winger only. Was it when Abbey was injured or playing FG? Not sure he'd be first in line as a replacement in FG though.

Bergamin would be in front of Carr for a fullback spot.

Yes, Abbey got hurt early and Carr was on the bench and went to FB. Gotta say I thought he was more impressive than Abbey ever was. He hit the line with purpose. If he fills out during the off season he might be another Montoya.

Carr attended Aquinas College Menai with my daughter.
He played mainly fullback for the school and local club.
Always a standout,I truly think in time will crack the first grade team
and become a regular.
Very humble young guy.

I remember reading he had something like 20 tries in his last season at St George. I also remember seeing his name in RMC so I was thinking he might be one of those players that disappears after his stint with us.

But it's good to hear he has promise and I'm sure under Pay some of these kids will see a pathway to FG rather than just rotting in lower grades.

I remember watching Carr play for the school,
He was one of the main factors behind them winning the
Combined Catholic School cup.
Pay will see how good he really is and bring him on.
Just needs to pack in a few kilos

All the dragons fans I know rate Aitken better than Lafai.
i rate Aitken very highly too, has all the attributes to be a solid all round centre. Just needs to stop getting injured.

for me:

1. Mbye
2. Montoya
3. Hoppa
4. JMoz
5. BMoz

Montoya and Hoppa on the left side, as they would be more threatening in attack than the ageing Morris boys.
