Pascoe rates AJ. If latrell decides on Souths and AJ is made available Pascoe will sign him
Umm.. is Justin now doing the player talent evaluations himself?
Funny thing is Johnston has been discussed before Latrell came into the picture. Was told he could explore his options & a couple of discussions between the club (mainly Madge) has occurred with him.
given we have to still spend a fair chunk of our cap to be compliant in 2020, has Madge been in discussions with any other players that haven't been mentioned?
It’s all got to come to ahead in the next 2-3 weeks. Plenty of clubs moving behind the scenes & it’s only going to take a couple of quick decisions for this player market to explode. But scoring ability is the target. If Stefano falls through for 2020 (which it’s highly unlikely) an impact forward will be chased but so far Setu is impressing.
Any idea who is most likely to be playing nine for us
And as importantly, any idea who will be playing fullback?
Corey Thompson will seemingly get first crack at the fullback spot given his strong performances in the position last season
Mate I know you're a bit of a star on the forum but was that comment genuine? IMO he is a fair winger and an awful fullback. If I had to rate the fullbacks from all clubs he'd be in my bottom 4. If he plays fullback this year we are no chance of the 8.
That’s a little unkind. I think Corey is a great fullback.
He’s a good winger but he’s an awful fullback.
Wow, your entitled to your opinion, However, labeling Corey as an awful fullback May be up there with one of the most absurd comments I’ve read here in the forum, in MY opinion.
He wouldn’t get a start at fullback at any other nrl club.
That is irrelevant to your initial statement.
Sorry, perhaps I should have been kinder and said he's the worst fullback in the NRL.
Again, your opinion, but it hardly makes sense, as he replaced our so called specialist fullback, and he Showed way more X-Factor than Mbye.
And before you say Mbye was carrying injuries and blah blah blah, Corey was a fill in, and still looked better.
This is just my opinion.
To make this Somewhat relevant to the thread, there was a bit of words earlier saying Corey would’ve been prepared to fight to keep his position over Latrell, extremely unlikely That he would’ve, however by him saying that, kind of says he will be training as our fullback over this off season preparing for the season as our FB.
Must have done something right.
well we've targeted Mitchell, Moylan, Milford, Lomax, Brimson now Johnston so he mustn't have done enough right.
Your going off topic with your initial statement, I’m not saying Corey is a beast fullback, I’m saying he did a good job, I’m saying he showed potential and I’m saying he wasn’t awful.
I would prefer Corey at fullback then some of the names you mentioned.
I'm not going away from my initial statement. In my opinion Thompson is a good winger but a very poor fullback.
