Is Tom's best position fullback?

Can somebody please give Holmsey a quick rundown on how to use the quote feature

And his dad as well.

Why is this a thread? Seriously?

Tom is slick. Getting better. Plays for NSW over others like Dugan, Morris, Cotric, Ferguson. How old is he again?

Come on now everyone.

Whatever you say buddy, after all you know everything.

What a great father and son team you 2 are; the knowitall self-professed silvertails bullsh!t policeman who loves to beat off on others and the "everybody is picking on me" kid who can't see past his own unknowledgeable opinions.

Good grief, spare me.

You must be the grandfather of the relationship then.

No wonder we're retarded then with genes like that.

Spot on mate, rather have Tommy learning at the back than anyone else!

Can someone answer me a simple question please.

The people who want him to play wing or centre, who are you signing to play fullback?

Unless you say Ponga, RTS or Tedesco then you’re signing a big downgrade. I’d include Slater, but he’s old as ****.

I'd go Clint gutherson. Not as dynamic in attack but his Positional play is superior. Seems to have a tonne of influence at parramatta on the park we desperately need at the back. Defence is greater than attack. I see hoppa in a similar light, but think gutho has more upside if he can remain injury free

Jai Field is another option. He is small i know but is soooooooooo fast.

Imagine Gutho at fullback organising the attack and more importantly the defence and having Tom running riot in the centres.

I think that’s what should have happened years ago but we held onto Matai one season too long.

I loved Matai, he was one of my favourite players off all time but we should have let him go to the warriors. He was busted.

Gutho left because he wanted fullback, was an Australian junior in the position but we let him go because we also had Turbo coming through.

I tend to agree with a lot of posters on here that Turbo is an amazing athlete but his position play for us is just terrible. I can’t honestly recall one try saving tackle or stopping the play when he is the last line of defence? (Some one please now show me where he does so I can have some hope).

Young Cotric the other day was playing fullback. The Panthers made a break had a two on one and he managed to smash the player that the pass got thrown to to shut down the play.

Tom constistanly swings at air. He barely lays a hand on the player throwing the final pass when the opposition make a break. He just tends to give up???

Manly have no choice now as he takes up too much of the cap so we have to coach him into being a better fullback.

Someone call Rowdy or Ridgy to see if they are available as Snake is busy making Sushi.

Mate, it's absurd to suggest that he MUST play FB because he is paid so much. On the contrary, because he costs so much it is essential he plays where we get the maximum for our money.

Turban Head would the guy to mentor TT. Pound for pound just about the best defensive FB ever, his game-reading and positional play was impeccable.

 

[Stevo]

Finally we agree on something

I said it weeks ago mate, look it up, but yeah, happy to agree on something.

Who is Turban Head?

Matthew Ridge.

Matthew Ridge.

Gotcha.

Terrific player, but still not as great as the mighty Wombat.

Agree mate but pound for pound probably the best defensive FB ever.
