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

In what areas is he "statistically" outponting Fulton. I did not see Mark's superleague career (and given he played about 5 games, you would have to be very lucky to see it). I was referring to what we have witnssed in NRL - which BTW is more extensive than his SL career.

I am not bagging Flannagan - he has a real dig. Merely stating that in a two horse race, Fulton would be the clear choice
 
Dont get me wrong, I think Flanagan has done an awesome job when called on… but when the team is at full strength, Fulton edges him into the 17 on defence, play making ability & versatility.
 
Epic prank catches out Wade McKinnon James Phelps

AFTER just two weeks in Tiger land Wade McKinnon is an expert in all things black and gold after being forced into a bit of research by a couple of cunning teammates.
Having just arrived at the club from New Zealand, he received a call from a man claiming to be the club's marketing manager, asking him to pen a speech on the club and deliver it to Tigers sponsors on game day.

"Yeah it was me pretending to be the marketing manager," Tigers funny man Liam Fulton confessed. "I also told him that he had to wear a suit to the game."

The former Warrior took the bait hook, line and sinker and came to the game in his best bag of fruit, speech in hand. "It was hilarious," Fulton continued.

"After the phone call he came to training saying he had to do a speech but he didn't know anything about the club because he had only been here two days."

Aside from a couple of expletive-laden text messages to Fulton, McKinnon took the prank well.
 
lol, what's next?

Ennis is going to ask for a maths teacher for his kids struggling in maths, Fulton will answer to the call and tell Ennis that 1+1 = 3 and he'll pass on the word to his kid only for them to get an F?
 
mate of mine used to work at the office at camp concord. he told me that fults would always call up asking what underwear he was wearing haha. he learnt that the best way to avoid his prank was to tell him he wasnt wearing any :S
 
Nice, good ice breaker too!
The best way to make someone feel part of something is to take the P*ss, it's the Australian way.
 
hahahahaha, welcome aboard :slight_smile:
Doesn;t say much for Wade's IQ though. You'd think anyone going anywhere near the Tiges would have heard about Liams habits.
 
Im not bagging Flanagan, he was good, but IMO we cant have both he and Fulton in the team and Fulton wins hands down. The try he set up for Brown was class, and his try was as good as any running backrower could score.

On a side note, how can Sheens want Lawrence at 6? Lawrence as a whole was good again tonight, but his passes under pressure proved he isnt a 6 at all. Wake up Sheens, it nearly cost us.
 
Great game from Liam. Even before that try he'd been doing a great job as a ball player and tackling his heart out.
Liam was a much better 6 than Lawrence, especially on the right hand side. I don;t think Lawrence can pass left to right.
 
Fulton was great tonight, mind you it is the first time this year he has really impressed me. His defence is always rock solid, but I thought his attack had been lacking.

Great game fults.
 
Have to agree with this thread in entirety. Fulton is finally turning into the class backrower he always promised. A Heighnington, Ellis, Fulton backrow looks pretty good right now - contrary to what I said at the start of the year.
