Couple of things:
- I like Bula quite a lot actually, but let’s pump the brakes on the Tedesco comparisons. Tedesco will go down as one of the greatest fullbacks of all time in his prime, imo he’s right behind Slater at 2nd he was that good. If Bula can be 60-70% of what Tedesco was we’ll have a great player, let’s not mount pressure on the kid and let him develop and let’s evaluate him in another 2 years when he understand and has grown into the game a little more. Brooks’s comparisons with Joey Johns tells you the negative impact it can have.
- Warriors are definitely a place you can look with their abundance of halves. Between Volkman, Metcalf and TMM it’s a pretty easy pick to me. Could be unpopular but I think Volkman is incredibly overrated, very good Cup player but everytime he plays FG he doesn’t look great. TMM is a good player but not necessarily what we need right now. But Metcalf is the real deal he’s a really good player. I personally think we should go all in for Pezet but if that fails, Metcalf is definitely a worthy candidate. I’ve happened to have a couple of interactions with him a few times when he was at sharks living in the shire, very very humble and quiet kid who puts the work in. No ego just works he’ll be a great player imo and warriors might slowly be realising that.
- Pezet and Metcalf are good options, but I would also make a call to the Roosters amd see what’s going on with Sam Walker over there and let them know there’s interest. Roosters won’t sit around for too long with performances like they’ve had recently, expect changes within that squad. I reckon they’re defs sniffing around at Ben Hunt seeing what’s going on there. Just a gut feeling he’s pretty much the missing piece there imo and Shane might finally get to give his kid a crack at 7….
