I probably agree. Don't see him as a fullback or as a fullback any better than what we already have in Laurie and Staines. As a centre, perhaps, but, again, I don't think he's that amazing, certainly not the way he's talked up on here. However, he's a hard runner, relatively quick and I like the vigour and enthusiasm he plays with.You don't think Farnworth is better than our current centres or fullback???
I'd love to sign him, especially in those positions
He's better than any centre we have. He's consistent, strong and can defend and attack. Plus he's only 22. I'd take him in a heartbeat.I probably agree.

The forward pack looks good, even the State Cup pack looks good. WTs look to be focusing heavily on the backs. Any top tier back should be approached. Farnworth is one of the top centres (don’t know how he would go at FB) But he is quality.He's better than any centre we have. He's consistent, strong and can defend and attack. Plus he's only 22. I'd take him in a heartbeat.
In terms of impact so far, he's probably ahead of AJ and Toa but he had the benefit of a powerful pack of forwards and a star centre partner who took the attention away from him. AJ and Toa were starved of opportunities while Douiehi and Naden are both penetrative when given room to move. I don't quite see Farnsworth as the difference maker others do.He's better than any centre we have. He's consistent, strong and can defend and attack. Plus he's only 22. I'd take him in a heartbeat.

great centre, not a fullback. can't and won't pass. that said, if there's anybody that can help him develop a passing game, its Tim Sheens and Benjamin Quentin Marshall. if you sign Farnworth, worst case scenario is he plays in the centres, where he is already a premier player, just unsure if its worth throwing $700k+ at a bloke who is completely unproven at 1.He's better than any centre we have.

agree. All of our half and fullback options are off contract in November. Which is a good thing because none are elite. All will have the opportunity to play behind a good pack. The recruitment priority in the backs IMO should be No7 then No 1.I'm not worried about centres. Our halves and fullback are where we need a class player or even better 3 class players.
Can Stains pass? Laurie can but other parts of his game needs work.great centre, not a fullback. can't and won't pass. that said, if there's anybody that can help him develop a passing game, its Tim Sheens and Benjamin Quentin Marshall. if you sign Farnworth, worst case scenario is he plays in the centres, where he is already a premier player, just unsure if its worth throwing $700k+ at a bloke who is completely unproven at 1.
Sheens is going to convert a spine player to a Cooper Cronk. Just like shifting John Morris to 7 and Tim Moltzen to fullback, no one will see it coming.Ah yes the mysterious plan b that no one knows about
We've added lots and lots of individuals in the past and it's made no difference to out defensive attitudeI think adding players like Klemmer, Bateman and Papali'i is working on the defence, no?
Teddy and Manu have great passing games, probably two of the best in the game. Why would you pay big dollars for another player, when you have Stains, Laurie, and Bula in the mix ? Give the side 6 mths, before jumping into that fire.Can Stains pass? Laurie can but other parts of his game needs work.
Slater,Tedesco never passed either. More runners. Joey Manu hardly passed and he was player of the tournament I think at the world cup.
If Farnsworth could play the Manu game it would work.
Your a glass half full type of guy, I like it.Does that mean that we would make the top 8?
Oh OK, thought either Sheens of Bennett were head coach of Canberra while the other was an assistant.No mate- Bennett & Furner were the Canberra coaches. Sheens was his own man.
While looking at the Sheens coaching tree- Walters, Stuart & Bellamy obviously. But additionally, Simmons, Daley, Dean Lance, John Morris, Meninga, John Cartwright- the list would go on.
Over time, Sheens has had his hand in the development of several coaches. Warren Ryan is probably the coach closest to him for his assistants going on to coach at a first grade/representative level.
Plan B is the one after plan A.Instead of being cryptic about it, tell us what Plan B actually is then?
