OFFICIAL Liam Fulton [Discussion]

INteresting that Sheens moved Blair and Ellis (when he was on) to the middle, and Heigno and Fulton to the edge. Seemed to work well, think we controlled the middle pretty well. Wonder if this was specifically for Souths or if we will continue with it.
I thought it was a good move, and enable Blair to get more involved.
I also think Fults in particular is more suited on the edge (altho he does mop up well in the middle)

What did others think of that?
 
Blair played at Melbourne in the middle of the field. Until today he has been stuck on the left edge. It's not hard to understand why he played well today.

The more work Blair has to do the better. Today was his best game in Tigers colours, but he has a heap of improvement left in him. I really want to see him step up over the next few weeks with Ellis on the sidelines.
 
Fulton's commitment in defence was excellent. He was not bad by any means. I think he's done an honourable job the last 2 weeks. He definitely isn't the problem at the moment.

Why do we have to carry forwards who are just good defenders. Can't we have forwards who actually bend the line when they run. Or that's against our policy.

i think to single out fulton is unfair.if benji doesnt put beau ryan over the touch line on first tackle, if lote could turn quicker than milk,if heighno doesnt turn his back on luke are all resons why we lost so why fulton is totally to blame i dont know.
 
I thought Fulton was great out there. He is a real solid player. I probably wouldn't have him in my starting team but on the bench he is a good option.
 
Fulton made 38 yes 38 tackles not sure of how many assists missed only two, by the way, more tackles than anyone on the field yesterday. I recon Meaney's tackle on a player without the ball was quite a bit dumber than Fultons strip. If you want to start dropping players how stupid is it to drop your best defender. How about you start looking at the players who are missing all the tackles. Thats the area we realy need to work on.
 
Yeah & 3 great line break tackles, 2 from Blair misses & 1 from Woods.
Didn't Lote give away the final strip penalty?

Wake up to yourself. Souths dropped the ball 4 times and got 4 penalties in one of the worst refereeing performances ive ever seen.

Against Saints i bagged Liam's defense, but today i have nothing but praise for him. Watch the game again and look at the work he did. Simply outstanding

That's exactly how I saw it.

Liam was awesome,the reffing atrocious.

Maybe we should start dropping the ball every time a player puts a hand on it.

Fulton a senior player gave away the penalty that started our demise. I will never question his effort or commitment but him and Heino are off the pace. Their hit-ups are garbage and that's 1/2 a forwards game last time I checked.

Don't forget Heighington's turning his back for the try that got them back in it (Luke's). I coach my under 6s and i'd hook one of the players for doing that 5m off his own line. Another player hyped up by far too many. A solid plodder that costs us at least 1 try a game with his laziness. And don't get me started on his soft shoe shuffle before he hits the line. As stale as fulton and the imbecile of a coach who picks them

youd hook an under 6 for turning his back .gee thats an overstatement .lol. at 6 you have 1 maybe 2 kids focussed the rest just make up the numbers , kicking the grass , building dirt mounds , picking their nose. at 6s the game is for fun and you as the coach is there to make sure they have fun .
but i agree both heighno and fulton should be hooked.
Fulton should have stayed in England ,but the coach let him come back .Poor old Heihgno is just playing like he is past his used ny date .

absolutely ks … i think i lost count of the number of times he was first there to tackle inglis on kick returns and his tackling on much larger opposition was just great

I was another to give it to him after that game but he played much better (in defence) yesterday.
For a little while I thought he was going to do what he did last week and think he really was Robbie Farah and run from dummy half all the time.
Fortunately he didn't.
He's not a hooker and he's still not much chop in attack but the team can carry him as long as Heighington is not on the field at the same time.
 
I'm not sure what game fergiefurr was watching but I would have had Liam Fulton in the top 3 Tigers players yesterday. His defence on the big Souths forwards was awesome. He is courageous, plays way above his weight, week in and week out. He adds something to the team in terms of attack as well, while Heighno adds almost nothing. We can't afford a dud forward these days, one who can't put in solid defence and attack each week. So, if there's any criticism for guys that don't contribute that, it shouldn't be directed Liam's way. Maybe fergiefurr needs to dust off the boots and get out there. I'm sure it will add to the value of my WT membership card.
