That's the frustrating thing with him. Seems to be a concentration thing.. He often catches the hard ones like where Hess smashed him mid air but often drops the easier bombs where there's no one around him. Hopefully he fixes that with more reps at fullback and a full preseason there..
Just means it's easier to fix, would be an issue if he was letting bombs bounce or not even positioning himself under them but he's not doing that. Should improve as be becomes more experienced and develops his fitness. Just look at the game right now, the Knights aren't even attempting to catch these bombs haha

Give him an off season at FB. He’s got potential to be a solid fullback.

Yeah I can't stand how often fullbacks and wingers don't contest kicks in their own 20 these days. It's a recipe for disaster. At least Averillo attacks it. Just needs to get better at taking some of them.

Can everyone calm the fuck down with these threads, we competed very well for 60 mins against legit premiership contenders. We are 12th, they are second. We either lead/tied for 60mins against them and we have fucking flanagan and braidon burns in our starting team haha. We are on the up, we are showing great signs as a club. Idiots like @AlzzBulldog just complain for the sake of it being available. Up the dogs, we move forward.

Really? Did you watch last nights game?
Yep…. One game like that once in a blue moon does not justify his salary. A player’s gotta play like that week in week out to justify Crichton’s pay packet.

Why do you think Gus tried to get the fullback from SHARKS who just made his debut obviously he knows we need someone else at the back!
Fuck off TPJ and sign Munster to play there. Averillo to 14. Then Joash Papalii will be ready once Munster is retired.

I’m not against signing Crichton if we can get him at the right price. I’ve seen him play fullback and he goes well and will further improve. If we can get him for 500-550k to play fullback I think it’ll prove to be money very well spent.

Well said. We made them play hard to win. The Dogs were exhausted by the end of the game, and that's when the score blew out.
