PLAYER Jamayne Isaako Discussion

He keeps going the way he is he'll be our fullback in 2020 if not next year( hopefully)
The chooks can't offer him that.

They will ... they'll have their fingers crossed, but will still make the offer

I think Boyd may pull the pin at the end of this season. Even if he announces he is retiring at the end of 2019 that will allow us to back end a deal with some of Boyds money.

I'd have to respectfully disagree Port on Boyd. I think that managing the game would be his strength if it was a given that Milford was the creative and impulsive partner. For mine Boyd would largely take a backseat in attack only stepping up on the fifth (or fourth) tackle and choosing where to kick to, type of kick, run or dink in behind, that sort of thing. Boyd in his last stint as a 5/8 from memory was required to be both creator and manager and it wasn't ideal for him but as strictly a manager of final set movements he I believe, would excel.

Im guessing the thinking would essentially be to use Boyd as Hornby and Milf as Soward (without the kicking game) and Isaako as a poor mans Lockyer. Free Knik up to be hooker for last 50 minutes of a game to tear open tired forwards and actually provide some service from dummy half. Macca can play lock for 20 as a dual dummy half/centre defence tackling machine.

Bennett 2010 might go for it and it might actually work but 2018 sky will fall if Boyd isn’t fullback Bennett no chance.

As much as I defer to WBs great wisdom I tentatively agree with your last line. It's likely WB is right and Boyds best imput currently is from fullback and perhaps he also thinks if Isaako gets that spot in 2020 he'll truly appreciate it and more importantly have earned it. The steel (calmness,determination and concentration under stress) Isaako is showing when taking shots at goal and the previously unseen sublime balance and footwork in that stunning match sealing try recently are I believe great pointers to an elite level footballer in his early days.

I think we've a real winner in Isaako and describing him as a poor mans Lockyer, as well intentioned as that is may yet be doing him a disservice.

And it isn't even notoriously organic / gluten-free / vegan-free / recombobulated air by the sounds of it.

Not to mention, I would assume that his manager also manages other players as well.
 
Same article out of interest (granted it's only speculation) "With Sam Thaiday to retire at season’s end Lodge and Pangai will be the likely starting front-rowers for Brisbane in 2019".

Funnily enough if you scan down a bit you will see the almost required Oates wanting to play backrow quote lol.

Fast becoming a great little player. Has grown every game from speed, evasion and his goal kicking is the best we have had in long time

Rookie of the year coming his way

He has to win it now.

There is no other rookie that's even coming close. Ponga isn't eligible anymore because he made his debut in 2016 and had played more than 4 games coming into 2018.
 
So can he get rookie of the year?, he played a few games last year
 
NRL Physio saying he has a hip flexor/groin injury and could possibly be out for a couple of weeks [emoji53]
