[Wolfmother]

I have been informed by a semi reliable source (told to him by one of the players) that Daryl Millard is coming back to the dogs in 2014.
Will be signed up by the end of January.

Magic Millard. I hope he has learned how to wave his wand because the only magic he ever did in the past was to somehow remain in first garde despite being so ordinary.

 

[GRKDOG]

Where's Dakar? Haha remember that knob jockey? He took his ball and went home

His twitter account has also gone quiet. Hasn't posted since early November

perhaps because Dakar came on here and gave the impression he knew all inside information which turned out to be bogus.

 

[Mr Invisible]

Because Dakar = troll account.. and many fell for it.

No way Millard will come back to us... Ryan Millard maybe... as a NSW Cup backup.

 

[Natboy]

9 hours into the new year & no 2014 thread? haha

 

[Bulldogs09]

WHERE IS FULLBACK lol.

 

[finchie]

Daily telecrap reports inu will get first crack at fb in 2014. Cant see us signing anyone of note now to be perfectly honest. Just get around and support our current team and hope the "surprise" or breakout year comes from an unknown from within.

 

[Bulldogs09]

lets hope so, sounds like hoffman isn't gonna happen.

 

[Mr Invisible]

If our year fails due to a lack of quality #1, and/or Morris gets shifted to fullback and then leaves in 2015... how pissed off will fans be?

It depends if Morris gets involved this year or not. If he doesn't we may as well spend the money on someone who wants to be there

Exactly. There won't be much we can do about his leaving if he wants to desperately play with his brother again. As for Morris playing fullback, he was much more involved there than at centre IMO

 

[CrittaMagic69]

If morris is played at fb ill rape my asshole with a cactus. But he wont play there. He was a stop gap solution and that is all.

As far as I'm concerned, this was always the best option. Inu is custom made for fullback. Granted, he can be inconsistent, but barba was hardly a model of consistency before hasler whipped him into shape. This would also allow lafai to come into the side.
Fullbacks nowadays, need speed, power, a passing and kicking game and the "freak factor" for when you need a Hail Mary. Inu is the only player we have access to, that ticks all those boxes.

Geez... I didn't think that there was any more room for disaster. I thought the NSW Cup side had gone as low as they could go.

 

[playon]

We are now in January and no signs of us signing a Fullback

I've seen this kid play a few games and he's an attacking weapon defensively he ain't great but neither was Ben Barba before Des sorted him out. I hope we we make a move for him.

Evander Cummins had an injury-interrupted 2013. Cummin's topped just about every attacking stat in the 2012 Holden Cup. Despite playing just 16 matches, he made 36 line-breaks and busted 192 tackles, the most of any NYC player in both categories. That said, rival clubs are on the hunt for Cummins following the arrival of Josh Dugan at the Dragons, with the Eels earmarked as a potential destination.

The stat that sticks out for me, which was staggering is that the kid busted 192 tackles in 16 games

 

[Mr Invisible]

Signed with the Eels earlier this year playon. But agree, decent player who shows some talent.

My concern with Inu is that he gets lazy at times, and whilst he can leap and have good hands, again it's inconsistent.

Sure playing in the #1 would force him to defend decently and work on his handling (whilst not allowing him to slack off), but I just can't see him as a fullback longterm.

Inglis was also seen as a bit lazy when playing in the centres, the media even calling him fat and overweight. But he now has a high work rate and has never looked fitter.

Hopefully Inu has a similar transition from centre to fullback. Here's hoping.
