I think it will be between Dwyer or Flanagan? They both offer a different approach to Attack and Defence. This is a hard one…
Fulton has got to be in the 17, as he can play ever position except Prop and Fullback.

If you're going to have both who do you drop? Let's say Sheens decides there's no need for a back on the bench, that gives you this pack:
8\. Bryce Gibbs
9\. Robbie Farah
10\. Keith Galloway
11\. Gareth Ellis
12\. Todd Payten
13\. Chris Heighington
14\. Andrew Fafita
15\. Junior Moors
16\. Simon Dwyer
17\. Mark Flanagan/Liam Fulton
If you want both in the side, who do you drop; Ellis, Heighington, Payten, Fafita, Moors or Dwyer?
As disappointing as it might be, I wouldn't drop any of those players at the moment for Flanagan or Fulton.

What sort of question is that??
>
It's like comparing Andrew Johns to Robert Lui..
Hidden Dragon can you please explain to me this analogy of your's?
Is Fulton the Andrew Johns comparison or is he Robert Lui?
I think you might have rushed in with your response as Fulton IMO is no Andrew Johns & Flanagan is certainly not!

We cant have both. Need to have both Dwyer and Fifita in the side as they offer something that we dont otherwise have. I like Flanno but think he unfortunately should make room.

Fulton, by the length of the straight.
Flanagan has done really well this season and will be unlucky to lose his spot but we will likely have better options for the bench at full strength.
As for Fulton - he's still criminally underrated by many Tigers fans in my opinion. I was stoked to have him back this year and as far as I'm concerned he's exceeded expectations. Not sure what else the bloke has to do before convincing some people that he's a really good player.

Has to be liam fulton.but having said that flanagan should continue to improve with 80 minute performances in nsw cup.i rate flanagan as an excellent backup player for a team hes a player with a big heart could do with an aussie off season.

I cant believe the question is even being asked.
To answer your question…..Fulton.
Fulton has it all over Flanagan. Thats no disrespect to Mark, he's done well, but Fulton is a class above at the moment. Maybe if Flanno puts on some size he could challange him but for now, they both the same size and Fulton does a much better job.

I'm with you on that one Colonel. Fulton can make 40 tackles a game but doesn't hit the line like Dwyer and the Tigers have definitely benefited from having a backrower come on who can take 3 players with him each time he hits the ball up, plus his defence is solid. Rotating him with Payten is a very shrewd move IMO. Rotate Moors for Galloway, Fifita for Gibbs and Dwyer for Payten.
How quickly they turn…. :laughing:
Benji misses his mate still...
Fulton walks straight back in........from the bench with Dwyer.....Flanagan back to State Cup.....

'between Dwyer and Flanagan' hard one?
If I was to pick either Dwyer and Flanagan, my decision would take a matter of 0.0000000001 seconds. Dwyer is bigger, stronger and his tackles are more effective than Flanagan. Dwyer is the type of bloke you want taking big hit ups against opposition teams, especially when you want to be getting over the advantage line.
Fulton versus Flanagan - choice is easy. Fulton
1) Can make 40+ tackles in a game
2) Is the best-on-one tackler in the side
3) Has proven utility value
4) Is a much better ball player then Flanagan
5) Can run a good angle and hit a hole.
Don't get me wrong - I think Flanagan goes well however in my opinion he tries to play a brand of bash and barge football which isn't suited to his frame and while I don't mean to be overly critical of one incident, I doubt Fulton would have missed Luke Lewis in the Penrith game.
Fulton is essential as his ruck defence is excellent and will be relied upon in semi-final type football

actually statistically flanagan is outpointing fulton, and just for the record, how many games of super league did you watch flanagan play? He was a 5/8th over there so he would have to have ball playing skills

Fulton would have one of the smartest football brains in the squad. His off-the-ball contribution is second to none.
