OFFICIAL Liam Fulton [Discussion]

Fulton is great to watch a footballer that is a thinker …reads the game well-defends well-and has a passing game .IMO this move to 5/8 could work without being dynamic ,interesting selection can see where Sheens is coming from in this situation just frustrated with no 1/2.

I still think it might be a smokescreen and Moltzen will play in the halves. I don't see us making a big play for the semis with Fulton in the 6\. No doubt he'll try his heart out, but I don't see him as a match winning 5/8.

Fair point that. It's hard to believe that IF we made the finals that Fulton would wear the 6 as well. It could well be that we do see a shift of some sort prior to kick off. A stop gap solution doesn't really fix things right now. I believe we need something with a bit more intent. If that means throwing a rookie in then by all means. Better he gets the experience now.

I think Fults at 6 is a better proposition than many realise. His defence on the edge will keep the ruck tidy. He should be able to feed the ball on with minimum fuss. It's not like he will get in anyone else way if he is sensible.

I'm not against Fulton at six, I'm against moving our best performing second rower from there when we have a fullback who is a five eighth and a winger/centre who is quite adept at the basic skills required to be a good fullback.

At least thats one thing you can say Sheens has been consistent with…
 
Benji needs to play at 5/8, just stand deep and RUN THE BALL BENJI! Less meaningless kicks and more running just like the good old days :wink: Play Moltzen at half, if Sheens doesn't think he is good in the 7 then I can't see why we re-signed him-he ain't gonna be our fullback once Tedesco is fit in 2013.
 
I hope this is a smokescreen regarding Fulton at 5/8.
I know he won't let us down tonight & will offer he's usual solid performance I just worry that if we go down he will be hung, drawn, & 1/4 by some so called true fans on this forum which would be completely inappropriate in my opinion which would take the spotlight once again off those players that need a stint in lower grades

I'll repeat what I said on Tuesday

Fulton at 7 and Marshall at 6 doesn't sound that bad

If the defence rushes up on Marshall , Fulton could some damage with his running game and create some chances that way

Here's hoping anyway Happy.

I hope Sheens does a smokey and runs the following:

4\. Ryan
2\. Utai
3\. Ayshford
17\. Simona
5\. Koroibete
7\. Marshall
1\. Moltzen

6\. Fulton
12\. Ellis
11\. Blair
10\. Galloway
9\. Farah
8\. Woods

13\. Heighington
14\. Moors
15\. Cashmere
16\. Bell

Won't happen, but I can dream.
 
Liam has good ball playing skills.
Marshall has been quoted this week as saying hes taking a back seat, putting the flashy stuff away

We shall see.
 
Fulton is such a well rounded footballer.
No doubt he can cover this position and many others without problem.
 
was he even playing at 6? I saw him get the ball once at first receiver, not sure if he ever got it at second receiver?

I know Moltzen went to the halves later in the game but I couldn't tell what was happening earlier

anyway it all seemed to work out
 
Fulton in my opinion had his worst game of the season. Benji had one of his best so it didn't matter however Benji needs a halves partner.

I still don't get why Moltzen hasn't been chosen at 6.
 
Tim Sheens happy with Liam Fulton at 6

Will Jamie Soward start or not against the Wests Tigers? It is a talking point throughout the media but one that doesn’t faze Tim Sheens.

The former NSW five-eighth has been named on the interchange bench after playing strongly for Illawarra Cutters in the State Cup last weekend. Sheens said he was unsure of the Dragons line-up and said five-eighth Nathan Fien could be shifted back to hooker to make way for Soward.

Marking Soward will be Liam Fulton. The back-rower played five-eighth in the win over Parramatta last Monday night.

“Liam did a good job as a running 13 type 6\. That’s all we expect this week,’’ Sheens offered.

"He is a a runner and that’s the best part of his game so I won’t take that away. Our game plan will hopefully work a little better this week with him playing his second game there for us.

“I was pretty happy with his efforts last week. "
