Dont need to buy a FB, if he can develop some kinda looping pass along with safe hands and good placement at the back then i think he is our long term FB. We have to stop buying talent and start developing our own just like the Cows and Broncos but make key, established signings like Reynolds and Townsend so our youngins have the help they need.
Hes got great skills as a fullback. Its literally a video of his tries and ppl are saying he has no ball playing abilities. I watched him coming through the grades and hes got some slick ball skills. Dont know why hes a scapegoat in this team. They love to hate him and it fucking pisses me off. The kids 21 and has been dicked around so much in every position and last friday was his first game at fullback and i thought he was fucking good

Hope he finally delivers at fullback because I think (assuming) the club has invested in alamoti and kiraz long term for centre

I do eventually see him becoming a Dylan Edwards/Luke Patton type fullback and that's perfect for us to spend more cash on 6,7 and 9

Schoupp and Alamoti long term centres. Kiraz wing.

I'm personally not so sure on Schoupp. Doesn't really bring much in an attacking sense and therefore I'd see him as keeping the position warm for a better option that becomes available.

He isn't off contract next year. He's off contract for 2024. If he continues to play how he is currently he'd be marque fullback money if we're a chance of signing him then too.

Our options for next year atm are Staines, CNK (assuming Raiders persist with Savage) or stick with what we have (Averillo/Toia). I think most people at the moment would pick the third option out of those.
100%, i'd rather just persist with Averillo or Toia for another season than sign another flop. Neither Staines or CNK are the answer.

Penrith looking to offload him now, I reckon we end up signing him.

Well, he'd be better than Crichton, at least he's a proper fullback. Still haven't given up on Avo though
