Cullen

[XV-1]

Is Cullen the smallest guy playing in the NRL?

Luke Brooks towers over him.

Cullen looks like a midget leprechaun.

Has plenty of heart thou.

 

[HappilyManly]

He should have come on sooner. Very quick and offers a point of difference for the Opposition to try and work out

Poor Api is all heart but he was struggling

 

[Shoe1]

Has plenty of heart thou.

I thank thee for the kind word

If Cullen didn't have heart, there would be no way he would be where he is today.
Must be bloody hard getting smashed by guys a lot bigger.

Obviously a very good footballer.

 

[Fluffy]

he is pretty solid though, 85kg and only 170cm.

 

[sheridanstand78]

He brings something different and is a good cover for Api who is playing so well. I would prefer Jackson Hasting as he is a goal kicker ansd we are struggling there.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Imagine Tommy to Cul and then to Shady Lane for the winning GF try?

Bless them all,
The long and the short and the tall..

Has a very slow and deliberate play the ball - that could do with some speeding up

I noticed that. Everyone else just rolls it through the legs and he made sure he got his foot on it.

I noticed that , makes jorge's play the ball look like speedy Gonzales.

I sat behind his aunt today, and she is even smaller, if that is possible

I'd prefer Hastings personally, but I can't knock Barrett for picking on form; Cullen has been fantastic for the Workers and from all reports, Hastings has been kicking stones again...

Watching the workers yesterday, Hastings definitely displayed an unwillingness to take the line on and failed to put his body on the line in defence a couple of times.

Hastings headspace is shot imo....playing firsts without minutes, in and out, etc.

It shouldn't be shot though...he should be hungry to do whatever it takes...be the 10 minute bench player and wait for an opportunity...instead he has sulked...he got dropped for a reason.

Agreed.

Im not privy to any reasons.
I did read somewhere on here though, that Hastings and Barrett were really close.

Yeah there was an article discussing Barrett mentoring Hastings from a very young age. I like Hastings as a footballer but players don't like his personality and the problem appears to have followed him from the Roosters to Manly.

 

[cherry_poppins]

I'd have Hastings over Green

**** Green

 

[Top End Eagle]

I thought Green was superb yesterday. The try Joel Edwards scored was just a tricky one. He got half away from winterstein and had big frank dropped off, green would have committed and made an easy tackle instead Edwards propelled forward because winterstein was trying to get closer to complete the tackle but actually advanced him through the gap.

Other than that a try off a double ricochet and one where a ball made a surprise upwards bounce (although Kelly should have been more aware).

Green steered the around well and came up with some nice repeat set plays.

 

[tookey]

what about joey lussick? isnt he killing in reggies? prefer him over cullen any day

Cullen's call up considered career catapult.
