Yeah I agree last year he lacked a lot in a lot of areas. Yesterday looked like he has improved a little bit in a lot of areas though. Looked a lot more silky and fluent I thought, defended a lot better than he did at times last year and I thought his kicking was slightly improved. He has 2 years to figure it out. I think in 2 years time he very well could be the perfect option.
Yeah, He is such a small, I wish he hit them like Ezra does. I think Madden will spend some time in the #7 jumper but I think the future of our club at HB will be Coby Black. Just have a slight feeling he will be a decent option in a few years.
I haven't seen what Kev's been seeing at training but I'd still be inclined to start Mariner on the wing over Jesse. I don't say that with a lot of confidence, though. More that I WANT him to succeed.
I don't have to think back far to think of worse. Let's rank our fullbacks (defence only) since Wayne left.
I think we will be fine, when you consider Walsh has a good long and short kicking game (not consistent yet though), mam seems to have a good short kicking game, madden is OKish at both and Walters can chip in a couple mid range kicks as well that are decent.
Cobbo above farnworth. Did farnworth ever even play a game at FB? Sailor has to be 3 or even above Martin based on his winrate at FB.the bottom 4 can duke it out. I would say Boyd is better than Niu and Isaako even in his form drop.
But Sailor isn’t playing fullback if he plays 14. What position do you think he is playing? Defensively at fullback system wise he is fine. When he was in the line tackling at 6 it was embarrassingly weak. He was fucking scared. He is just not an option. He made enough crucial errors in defence against 2 reserve grade sides across the trials so far that you just can’t risk it.
I honestly can't tell whether come round 5 we'll all be gushing over Selwyn or demanding he go back to the wing. Just when you think he's the laziest footballer you've ever seen he flicks that switch and magic happens. You have to be on all the time in the centres. We've only ever seen these flashy cameos from him.
I reckon he can do it. He has matured a fair bit even since the end of last season. I much prefer him defending inside oates who has a bucket load of experience, than running the 50cent/5 cent every high ball on the wing.
His specific role wasn’t hooker coming into the games I don’t think. He just found himself there pretty sure. I can’t remember when this was it was 22’ maybe.
Didn't help the club had just been consigned to its first ever wooden spoon either. It was very poor choice by our captain.
He played hooker in Norths' Colts, and then five-eighth in 2019 when he moved up to seniors. Since then lock and bench.
