Fullback Recruit

Wightons a makeshift fullback, if he still hasnt grown into the role after 3 years he never will. could be an origin quality center though.
 
I unabashedly love Tui and can't see why we're looking for a replacement.

Maybe Teddy is missing us

Absolutely.

I think he would be looking at the way Clearly is getting the best out of his good mate Brooks and start question his decision. He’s just another player at the Roosters with his development falling behind others on the team.
 
Lachlan Coote is not big enough to rider the Big Dipper at Luna Park … better suited to Kids Kingdom or Lollypops Land.

Lachlan Coote if his price was right? Not sure he has signed elsewhere.

Im not sure either way.

He was chasing big money a few weeks ago but unsurprisingly the market wasn't really interested (for $700K plus). I doubt anyone will make a move on him until they see how he returns from injury.

Seriously anyone.

We are so far behind every other club in terms of what their fullback brings is not even funny.

I agree but get accused of bashing Tui, he is under performing I think, or maybe that is as good as it gets. Either way you are bang on, his form was pretty ordinary again yesterday, we need his goal kicking, but at what cost
 
I know I've already made a post talking about how we don't really need to spend money on another fullback and that Tui is good enough. But if we really need one that bad, Blake Austin is off contract at the end of this season so he's always an option.

He isn't even really making any mistakes. Its not that.

I thin its more fullbacks in 2018 have to be dynamic. When you kick it to them on the full you, expect will them to charge back and get over the advantage line. When you run a sweep play, you expect to be worried that they are going to be on the end of it. Tui not only is doing none of this, but even if he is he looks uncapable as he is so far off the pace (his touch of the ball is just 2-3 times off NRL level). When he gets it he looks slow and sluggish, and sometimes ends up throwing a no look inside ball like yesterday which almost caused a mistake.

He has also not been tested yet really under the high ball or defensively also. I don't remember him making a tackle yet this year (apparently he made 1 yesterday). The only one on one encounter he had he got made to look very silly vs ferguson.
