He scored lots of tries on the wing last season which clearly shows it's his best attacking position.
Abbey to full back, Hoppa to centre or to NSW cup. He shouldn't be in first grade if he's only a part timer.
Exactly what im sayin. I think Hoppa has a huge role in the team, just not at the back. Id put him at right Centre

in my opinion Brett Morris needs to be our fullback he offers more than Hoppa and is a better attacking option for us. I would have Hoppa in centres or wing.
No, just no. Morris is getting too old to be durable enough and dangerous enough at the back.

Right now I don't think he would survive more than a couple of games at fullback, let alone a season. B.Morris should be on the Wing with his brother next to him on the same side.

Abbey is always lurking around the ruck
He just doesn't give a shit about reserve grade because they were terrible and lucky to compete a set last year!!!
Play him with better players around him eg kas klem Jacko bmoz and he'd shine.
He's got a clever short kicking game, awesome pass and actually supports
Cant tackle to save his life, shit player and wont be able to handle FG, Nsw cup player at best. Watched him all last year and at 9s up close and he would be a failure at FB

It absolutely kills me when Kas half breaks the line every games, gets the arm free and no one is even there. Or he pops it back to Lichaa whos not ready and drops it. As if you wouldnt be waiting for Kas to pop it. Fucken muppets[/QUOTE]

Imagine a Lamb & Kasiano combination.

Let's just face it, we have no fullback.

Bmoz is old and broken, well past his used by date.
Hoppa is just plain garbage when he decides to play. I've seen a garbage truck turn faster than him.

Abbey is untested, in all for giving him a go but with our dud half combo we need a true xfactor gun like Tedesco.

it's insane to think of what that would've been like, they would be the best combination since sour cream and salsa

Im in the same boat as everyone else. Bmoz is too injury prone. Probably one serious injury away from retiring.

I'd go with:
1. Abbey
2. Bmoz
3. Jmoz
4. Lee
5. Hop

If Abbey struggles a bit,. swap him with Bmoz/Hop to nurture him into FG

Pretty much, the kid does have skill but he cant make the move from playing against kids to men, would struggle big time.. You know you are desperate when we are having these kind of conversations about our team.

haven't seen much of abbey lately but if not him at the back than bmoz is our best option because of his pace and strength. I dont really buy into all the talk that he can't handle fullback just because he's happened to be unlucky with injuries lately, it can happen to players in any position. I know fullbacks cover a lot of metres but a lot of its jogging behind the line, he'd be doing more intense running in preseason to be honest

Honestly, Hopoate is the better fullback albeit not a great one. When do we find out if the great Hoppa will grace us with his presence on Sundays? We have been held to ransom by this bloke for too long.

I think a lof of us know bmoz is the best at fb out of who we have. But after he spent the first half of last season out injured we are concerned the workload at fb might be risky for him. Id rather he play 26 rounds at winger than 10 at fb.
This.

Hoppa is a smarter footballer then Brett Morris, the only thing Morris utilises is his speed... I trust hoppa under the highball more then Morris... what have we got to loose I would put Abby, have hoppa centre with brenko lee

Hopoate at fullback over Morris.

Des needs to look for a long term solution. Enough is enough we need a specialist fullback. 1 more year with Hopoate at the back and that is it.

Haha that was a brutal assessment. Fact is we are bang average in regards to the spine. I'm hoping Lichaa and Mbye will come good.
