Tim lafai fullback

[Doggies 2035]

Before I get criticised what about this lafai use to play for South Sydney in I think SG ball they let him go because they thought he wasn't good enough but I got a mate that play with him and others he play with made first grade now such as Dylan walker Tyrone Phillips James Roberts and much others. and in souths lafai I herd was very was very good and was able to play fullback anyway long story short a lot of souths boys were pist they let him go and some can't believe how good he was and explosive and now that he's taller bigger and stronger with better footwork why not give him a go

its not a crazy suggestion but there still should be criticism of this thread

I don't see why not people always talk about he's big quick good footwork tall good in attack and defence why not give him a go he will be good

Yep, he is big, strong, fast, has got the footwork and is good in attack and a very strong defender. So far he has ticked all the boxes. The only thing we don't know about him is how good he is under the high ball... but he can probably do that one as well.

But the problem that arises is that we are so short of centres. Inu has gone (thank God) and Stanley is a walking hospital admission. The only options we have are Moses Mbye and Corey Thompson who just haven't got Tim Lafai's class.

Personally I'd like to see Corey Thompson take the fullback position. The reason being is that he has shown by playing on the wing that he has all the necessary skills to go well in that position.

Take a breath

Backline plays wont work because Lafai cant pass. He either one hand gridiron passes it or throws it forward

like the lack of punctuation in the first post.

 

[Bakes]

We need a ball playing fullback

 

[Chicharito]

Still waiting for that "rock star" fullback signing tbh

 

[El_Magic]

No.

Sorry op, the coach has spoken!

 

[Mr Invisible]

Surely if this was an option, Des would have already explored it.

That said, with Loko confirmed, it's possible Loko > centre, and Lafai > Fullback.

Just not sure that Lafai reads the game well enough from the back to be a fullback though.

Too late in the season to try something like that, we will need to fine tune Perrett so he can jump, sprint and tackle like a legend.

 

[Bulldog_NJ]

He looked great at left centre. He seems to be much better on the left than on the right.

As for FB, It's not a crazy suggestion, but he lacks a bit of pace. I still think J Moz is our best FB option, currently at our club.

 

[silva]

Not a great idea, he's a bit too heavy and would probably lack the fitness atm

Stewart will be our fullback in 2015

 

[immortalbulldog]

I've said it all along, our best fullback is playing wing and our best winger is playing fullback

 

[Bakes]

Big Call! Especially as he is still under contract at Manly for next season

 

[Stoofy]

Earlier in the season I would have given him a shot.

Anyway how many players (within our club or to be bought) have been thought of as possible 'fullbacks' for us this year? It would have to be well over 20.

Will not surprise me one bit.

 

[Hacky McAxe]

He has the potential to be an Inglis style fullback but until he's been properly tested there (IE; NSW CUP) then I wouldn't throw him in the deep end with only a few rounds left in the season. He's crucial to our defence right now.
