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.
Fullback allows him rest time, and gives a better perspective of the game. His defence is sound, and he has size. If we can get him chiming into the attack he could be very useful near the line, or chasing a high ball.

Happy to see him given a go at F/b.

Thompson sounds like a very good option but I wouldn't mind Kris
If Perrett is picked I'll cry. That goes for Brown too

Me too. Inu would be up there with the most naturally gifted players playing in the NRL. Great vertical leap, second to none chasing a high ball. He just gotta stop give the opposition players a rub on the head after he smashes them!

Inu needs to drop a fair bit of weight for fb. His acceleration is not up to standard.

If the 2012 Inu comes back then him at fullback will be awesome, I believe Inu will do a great job at what ever position he plays for us as he is so damn gifted.

I wonder who will be the x-factor like player for us this year but I have a hunch Lafai will explode if he is given a permanent spot this year...

Inu's has the talent but is too lazy. His last game in first grade for the warriors was at fullback against the storm,The team ran plays which involved him chiming in at second receiver, but when the ball went through the hands, Inu was nowhere to be seen and the game plan broke down. The worst of them was a loose carry from a kick-off, directly after the Warriors had drawn level at 14-all. With no pressure on him at all, Inu dropped the ball out of one hand and the Storm were over in the following set and went on to win the game. Des will have no hair left like Brian McLennan if Inu plays FB.

Agreed with the lack of speed that he no longer has...although he does have that kind of X factor that we need

barba was vomiting in his broncos training session. Obviously slacked off this season and wasn't ready for proper training again

How fat is Blocker Roach these days... looks like the only blocking he'll be doing in the future, is to his arteries! and a stark contrast to Jessica Mauboy who is looking really fit at the moment!
