Our best fullback ever

What an insult to locky

 

[M.B.88]

What an insult to locky

Naaaa he was our best 5/8th ever

 

[Wolfie]

Isn't he too small? Thinking of another fullback that was this short and still elite? Robbie O'Davis? That is dating me though... has to be more recent examples :)

Billy Slater and Walsh are pretty much the same height.

 

[Xzei]

slater is probably the only one of those maybe paps that are elite.
off topic but jesus brad fittlers kid is a unit at 15 186cm 108kg

I think Bowen at his peak was pretty close to elite but he did seem to fall away pretty badly. Sam Tomkins, despite his lack of real success here is another top quality, smaller fullback who i think would have thrived in a better setup than the Warriors.

Rhys Wesser was another great and small (1.75m) running fullback, scoring a stack of tries (still has the Panthers record I believe).

Robbie was skilled, quick, compact and powerful. He had those thick thunder thighs, he was a great player. Had one of the worst facial traumas in the sport. QLD legend also, loved him.

Darren Lockyer - 1.78m
Matt Bowen - 1.72m
Kodi Nikorima - 950cm

Wow Kodi is massive!

 

[M.B.88]

Wow Kodi is massive!

He could slam dunk a try from the kickoff

 

[Alec]

If Nikorima and Bowen are actually 175cm, I'll eat my chocolate hat.

There is a possibility Herbie has made some friends in the team, he was spotted at the beach with Brendan Piakura and Keenan Palasia.
Still not clear if he was invited or just showed up.

I suspect if there was no translater on hand, he wasn’t invited.

Darren Lockyer - 1.78m
Matt Bowen - 1.72m
Kodi Nikorima - 950cm

New game plan for this Nikorima giant that has been un-earthed…

We can’t let him get any closer to our tryline than the 20m line or he reaches out and scores…

Also remember, he stands on the wing and defends in the middle and can simultaneously play fullback and marker, so watch out for that…

Herbie: 'Proper bangin' day for the beach inn'it lads? Real mint'

Brendan: 'um yeah, can you pass the sunscreen mate?'

Herbie: *picks up sunscreen, goes to pass... hesitates... runs with sunscreen himself*

 

[Wolfie]

Haas coming out saying he is in no rush to sign his contract extension. And of course, the rumours about his friendship and links with the Roosters are rearing their heads again. I have a feeling he isnt going to stay around.

He’s probably waiting to see how we perform as a team. I hold nothing against any of the young blokes that have left us the last couple of years.

He's a genuine superstar but look at our talent coming through, he isn't going to be as big a loss as a genuine half would be.
