Fullback - Koula,Weekes or Garrick

[MW66]

Why name Koula at all. Do the Knights seriously care if Koula is FB or not. The only person Des is fooling is himself. Garrick is NOT a FB. Have a bad feeling about this, particularly in the wet.

Maybe he was given a chance to pass a fitness test yesterday and failed.

This is the most obvious scenario 👍

This will be verified if Koula is selected at fullback next week.

It's taken all the heat off Tuipulotu who is on debut.
Des spent half his interview talking up Koula and pretty much brushed any mention of Christian.

It's a scary looking backline on recent form. DCE will need back to back MOM's

Tippy Toes played 1 game for Roosters and 1 game last year , so he has First Grade Experience ! Hope he kills it

I'm ready to vote now. I pick Garrick.

 

[XV-1]

I still vote for Koula as I really want to see him play in good conditions, however in these terrible conditions he probably dodged a bullet.

However, will Des pick him to play against the Gold Coast next Sat?.

 

[stoodamire]

When FB, Garrick plays a bit like Dylan Edwards.

Just runs hard.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Anyone but Garrick. We won't threaten the score board at all. He is just not a full back

That post aged well.

Yes, if fit. I think there will be more points in the team with Koula at the back & Garrick on the wing.

Full marks to Tuipolotu for his game. Think he'll have more opportunities this year.

Yes Garrick was terrible, especially in the wet.😉

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Saw enough tonight it’s garrick only calm & collective safe ball handling also.

DCE'S comments tonight in the press conference were interesting.
He mentioned Garrick played great and will fill in for Tom really well while Tom is out.

 

[Remy]

Garrick was very solid but I still want to see Tolu on a dry track. Let him have a crack next week!

It will be interesting to see who DES goes with Tippy Toes or Kola.

Think he just stays with the same backline because we won.

Des likes players who are safe solid and dependable, I can't remember Garrick ever dropping a bomb/high kick for at least 2 seasons. When game momentums are turned on there head at the slightest error it's good to have these sort of players in the positions you want.

Our right side is going to be scary fast.

2 games ago Koula was considering good enough to be selected at fullback. Unfortunately he pulled out injured


3 matches later he can't even make the 17. What gives?
