[ManlyTragic]

If Harry can tackle..... then he should play FB.....at least there is no problem with his hamstrings

just sayin’

If Funa is fullback forget our season. Watch our games last year. He can't read read the play in defence. He always arrives after the try is scored. Is slow. And offers nothing in attack..
If he is our best option we are in big trouble.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Funa the tuna out of water.

 

[Heisenberg]

However does he offer anything in defence ??!

Well that's thing. He looks like he added some muscle in the off season. Given that Des said he's trained there I'd imagine he's been put some rigorous defence training. Plus when he played centre for us I don't recall him being a liability defensively .

 

[The better Robbo]

I'd be half inclined to put Walker there and play either Parker or Tuipulotu in centres.
At least this year we have some depth and options! Does anyone know if Tuipulotu can play fullback?
1. Walker
2. Saab
3. Tuipulotu/ Parker

6. Foran

It’ll be Funa , you know it , I know it , everyone knows it!!

Well I was gonna say B Stewart but apparently it's Funa.

 

[XV-1]

Has Schuster played FB in the juniors?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

How about Burbo?
Surely he can have a run at fullback.

 

[Wombat64]

I actually don't care who plays. Jesus Christ could play fullback and we'd still be ****ed. Another year of watching a less than ordinary footy team each week. The guy that sells TV remotes is going to be happy as I'm going to break a few of them again this season.

Even before Tommy slow poke Turtles injury I thought we'd come 10th but now bottom 4 is more likely. I was already sceptical that he'd last the season but If he couldn't beat some random pissed punter in a run down the Corso how the hell was he ever going to make it through the season? After all the hard work he and others have put in to try and get his injury right what a total ****en selfish moron for doing that. On the plus side at least he didn't waste a good pizza or hit someone like some other idiot. Looks like he was having a good night so I am just guessing a late night kebab was heaved up somewhere.

Until Tooommee Turtle and DCE go and we can have better balance in our salary cap we're not competitive and we're not making the top 8.

This thread should be renamed in honour of Reuben Garrick, who when he found out that Tom Foolery had injured himself again, was heard to utter:

“Thanks mate! I shat myself!”

[Captain Moondog]

Matt Dufty is off contract this year. St George haven't made him an offer yet. He's fast and has played fullback and Ramsey seems to be their preferred option at the back. They gave him permission to talk to Huddersfield last year but he says he wants to stay in the NRL. Not sure we'd have the money to put in an offer but he'd be a good signing imo.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Has Schuster played FB in the juniors?

Don't think so, but that doesn't seem to matter round these parts. It's still the pre-season. By the time the season's over all our outside backs - and maybe one or two of the forwards - will probably be given a go.

Obviously i have no knowledge but des rarely makes big calls. If des goes with a young untested bloke to replace tommy i would suspect tom is on the long time injured list

If des is thinking round 4 he would usually stop gap the hell out of it knowing that a lot can be achieved regardless of a few early losses.

In the des presser he also made a comment about origin i didnt understand. Did anyone pick that up and join the dots

"Koula has pace to burn and could be faster than Turbo" ...... a pissed idiot is faster than him.

 

[40 nil]

long time injured lust

Was wondering if that had anything to do with the injury

In the des presser he also made a comment about origin i didnt understand. Did anyone pick that up and join the dots

I think Des was talking about prepping replacements during Origin. We play just two days after two of this year's Origin games - see below
