@jirskyr he’s currently sitting third in the NRL for tackle breaks, but okay.

He's out for the year

Where has this nonsense about Corey's support play supposedly not being a strong suit? Have you watched his games at fullback?

But we're undefeated with Lolohea….... The difference in the game was him channelling his inner Zidane and gifting the roosters the penalty at the end of the half. There's no argument to be made to have him play fullback over Corey.

What a wank this whole nonsense is that we've won 4 from 4 with him this year like it's all his doing. Load of garbage. Again I remind everyone there was never once a play we've run this year where Thompson was in a position like Lolohea was for Nofo's try. Irrespective of all this, the...

It is something I want to develop in my game.

A ball playing fullback who couldn't hit a hole would tell you that he wants to develop that aspect of his game. I'm great at having sex but terrible at foreplay, I would like to develop that part of my game. Teddy and RTS do not fit this mould. Who also said anything about top shelf? They're...

Yes genius. Majority of people believe in a god too, doesn't make them real.

Yep because James Tedesco, Josh Dugan, Michael Gordon, RTS, Josh Wighton, Alex Johnston and Matt Duffy are all noted ball players. This nonsense of the modern fullback being a ball player is a fallacy. I've just named you seven fullbacks out of the sixteen clubs that aren't ball players. It's...

Again wrong. I'll happily be able show you multiple instance where Corey has supported forwards through the middle and even gained a line break from it. Further to that point, do you truly believe the current condition that Tui has been in this year would be able to sustain the kind of support...

Wrong on many accounts. To your point on bringing the ball back and not using the wingers, I could equally show you instances in that game and others this year where he has. It's often under coaches instructions to limit passes on kick returns as it's safe football. The type of football we...

In what capacity has Thompson shown he's better on the wing? That is just folly.

Nofo is copping a lot of heat and potentially deservedly so, however it's clear that he's integral to the game Cleary is trying to play. That style of game was even more evident with Fonua being picked today. Cleary is playing the power game. Fonua and Nofo are essentially two extra props with...

As I said in the match thread last week, the club has an intriguing opportunity with Corey in the team playing fullback. Traditionally fullbacks command a good portion of the salary cap. To have Corey there earning what he is and playing at a level 4x that is extremely beneficial. The club can...

Lolohea's perception has eclipsed his actual ability. He's never truly shown consistently the form that everyone knows he's capable of. The most basic fundamentals have also been missing from his game and been apparent during his stay at the club already. Poor fitness, poor positioning and poor...
