OFFICIAL Liam Fulton [Discussion]

A top player & great Wests Tigers Man, Good to see people praise him, but i wonder how many of you were against the Tigers signing him for 3nyrs.

Im still against it. I praise him for his performances over the past 2 weeks. Doesnt mean that i think signing him for an additional 3 years was anything but a poor decision.

He has been playing really well lately. Really picked up the slack left by Farah being out for the last couple of weeks. I remember another 'tackle anything' backrower who would work himself to a standstill every week and was often referred to as the the 'heart and soul' of the club. Was once loved by all but by the time we offloaded him to Cronulla, most people on this forum had turned their backs on him. I hope Fulton retains more loyalty, even when his performances start to dip.

Thats it really.

And people saying we won't win a premiership with him….we already did.
 
Having seen Luani play for the first time yesterday, it got me thinking about him as a potential replacement while Robbie is on rep duty. Of course, I haven't seen to much of him so it may have been a good-ish day, but he looked pretty capable and played a bit of back row too I think.

With Masada out injured now too (who I was never too sure about to begin with), I was wondering about Liam and Luani splitting the time at hooker, with one spending time in the back row or on the bench while the other is acting 9.

Can anyone give me an idea of how he's shaping up/if he normally goes alright?

i dont like fulton at dummy half tbh. i thought his decisin making was good but his service was bad. long loopy passes- frustrated the playmakers.
 
Who would you have in his place? I don't follow the lower grades particularly well, but no-one really stands out to me. Anasta at a very very very last straw I suppose..

That was my thought, Fulton to start and carry a utility forward on the bench who can split duties. Haven't seen much on Luani but reading match reports and opinions it seems he might be a possibility.

We will probably need yet another tier 2 exemption to blood a new player.

me neither and im just going off what i saw in first grade. 9/10 times fulton went to the side of the ruck where we had players or an opportunity- however, his passes were very ordinary- not flat. i have no idea who can fill that role in though. not sure if we have a bye before origin 3?

Possibly the best thing I've read on the forums since I joined. Dallas Johnson 'won' a premiership with Melbourne and played quite a few origins too didn't he? Fulton can ball play and doesn't get concussed at least once a set.

im not arguing that fulton is not a viable option. he's probably the best we have and im a big fan of fulton as well. im just pointing out a flaw. benji needs room to move, but i just thought when fulton gave him the ball he looked crammed.
 
My problem with this is that neither of them is a specialist hooker. Both are backrowers. Luani has been very good at State Cup level but in my view his service his not without its faults.

I am a big fan of James Luff's passing from dummy half but I doubt he is close to first grade.
 
Im hearing you tig, Fulton is now on the books for a while, and I do think that even though its late in his career, they need to make sure he has the skills to play super-sub. He has the brains to play all over the park, and is a good on field utility in that he isnt a wasted bench spot, just maybe needs the time invested into his training program to keep his full skillset sharp incase of injury within the squad.
