Can the Fox play right side? I think the plan originally was for Cotric to play left centre inside the Fox. But he is not centre. I think Naden is also a left sided player. Schoupp looks to be comfortable either side of the field in the lower grades.
Yes we do but again, I'm arguing if we kept our own juniors/reserve graders, we'd have enough left over to entice better standard players than the garbage we did get.
Fark me, for the umpteenth time, fualalo provided the same as britt/stimson and at less a cost
Probably. Naden I think is more natural @ right centre, looks to get outside his man better on that side and has a handy flick pass with his right hand. Can do a job at left centre though as he can switch his ball carrying arm and fend with little issue. Cotric at left centre was never going to work, he favours his right arm carry and left arm fend way too much...though it's only really a fend when he's going across field and more of a bump when he straightens up. He just needs to go down the To'o/Nofa route, get back from carries every set and bounce your way up field. Not sure what a doing with Schoupp.
Fualalo was shit,countless opportunities did nothing,Harper had problems with the club,but don’t take my word for it,ask around,Corey Thompson very good player now,but at the time,he got offered money from super league,that was way more than we could offer,and how much do u think Britt and Stimson are on,not big dollars,as for Harper apart from a good game against us last year,what’s he done,fuck all,only there because of injuries.
You're not getting me. I'm not arguing if they're good players or not.
Fair enough,but with salary cap restrictions for the last 4 years,it’s been difficult on every one,I just hope whoever is responsible for the buying,does a better job,we have to rid ourselves of the shit we have at the moment.
Good point you make, you can include to that teams must have 30 players squad by the 30 of June, it is a terrible system the NRL insist on, but that doesn't change the fact that some of the players should never have been signed. At the price we got Flanagan it was never a mistake !!!
Sounds like a half decent plan in theory but in reality I’m sure you’d be less than impressed if we stuck with the same duds for the past 5 years and didn’t at least try recruiting something different. We were never gonna find world beaters due to our dire cap position, but we had to at least try different personnel.
Signed till 2022 but we'd be getting a junior back.
Similar style and size to Burton - although Burton would be the dominant player. In Junior reps Talau was both a ball playing/ kicking five eight with the size and aggressive running to have suggested he would end in the lock or backrow similar to Wade Graham or Ryan Matterson.
