Meaney is ok but hes back with the pack. Tedesco, Pap and to a lesser degree Gutherson are a tier above the rest of the fullbacks. I say to a lesser degree for Guth because he isnt as consistent as the other two. 1 thing that these 3 have that the others dont is they are all involved in everything, and are the most lethal players in their teams. Like Barba was to us in 2012. Edwards for Penrith for example, is quite adequate as a FB, and does a lot of work, but you dont notice him, even though hes in the best side and he gets through a lot of work. Whereas Pap and Tedesco are involved in pretty much every try their teams score. Same with Gutherson on a good day.
Pap also hit the ground running in the NRL and was very good from game 1. I suppose in Meaneys favour is he hasnt consistently been playing FB since he started playing.
I also left T Turbo out of the above because he only plays half the time, which is a detriment to his team.
