Well done to Liam on achieving this important milestone hope he has a big game so he will always remember it.

 

[happy_tiger]

Good luck Liam Reckon you will get a try this week . Have a huge game champion

 

[innsaneink]

Gee its taken him a while….6 full seasons, surprising.
Congrats tho

 

[crouching_tiger]

Let's not forget he was out for an entire season when he did his shoulder against the Dragons in Round 1 a few years back.

 

[tigerbenji]

Yes its taken him a while but he missed a year with a shoulder injury & a year in england, well done mate & celebrate with a win on saturday night.

 

[innsaneink]

Yeh I did forget the year out with injury, took the year in England into acct tho….so all in all probably 5 full seasons or so which looks more logical. Any hoo good on him ....I really wish he'd let his hair grow back though, must get cold

I think he looked better with hair, less of a moon face :stuck_out_tongue:

 

[Demps]

Enjoy it buddy, it may be your last… with the tigers.

congrats Liam almost a senior player

 

[alien]

no room for dwyer (not yet anyway), rhino lucky to be on interchange.

😱pen_mouth: are you serious :question: :question: :question:

 

[alien]

Would he better off the bench or at centre?

yeah i think he should be on the interchange as our utility player when we are at full strength. i have mentioned centre before if we have injuries there. he can run good lines, he is strong enough and is probably fast enough to play centre, and his passing game is fine so he will be able to take advantage of overlaps. he has good covering defense. i dont blame sheens letting fulton play big minutes when we have our best defenders not playing because of injury

 

[alien]

Does anyone actually see Fulton getting a jersey when all our forwards are available?

8.Gibbs
9.Farah
10.Galloway
11.Ellis
12.Dwyer
13.Heighington

14.Woods
15.Fifita
16.BMM
17.Schirnak
18.Payten.
19.Fulton

i'd have fulton before schirnack because its good if one of our 2nd rowers are a utility type player incase we get an injury in the backline or if farah gets injured

 

[happy_tiger]

Fulton can defend like a demon and run a great line. The problem is that he is a small forward and he can sort of get lost out there.

When the rest of the forwards are dominating he really helps out. It is times like last night where we need him to make an impact and he doesn't that it is a concern.

I don't know what to think of him - if he is cheap he could be a good option at starting lock forward.

Would he better off the bench or at centre?

I wonder how he'd go at centre. The problem is he'd be like Ayshford - slow.

It is difficult to see him holding down a position once all our players are back unless Sheens puts him on the bench to cover forwards and backs but that would see Beau go so who knows :question: It wasn't his fault that WTs lost last night but he wasn't that great either IMO.

You can't lose his utility value . He can be a back up at hooker ,second row , lock Half back or Five eight . Probably be a good fill in at centre if we needed someone off the bench . Players like that don't grow on trees you know and we have one contracted until 2013 . Keep him at the expense of someone else please Sheensy

i think he'd look better in a cronulla jersey. has/will leave no imprint on the game - just another player making the numbers.

So you can't see the benefit of having a guy who could be on the bench that can cover at least 6-7 positions with the injury toll we seem to have year after year AMHX . That has over a 90% completed tackle percentage as well Better than anyone else in the team . Gee your a hard man to please .

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

i understand but i prefer blair if we have to make room for him. Anyway - what positions has he covered to date with our horrendous injury toll in 2011?

 

[Kul]

Fulton could be the ultimate utility - correction, IS the ultimate utility.
He can cover anywhere
but since returning from the UK this has never happened. Yet before he left Sheens happily used him as 5/8th, centre and hooker

me so confused!

 

[happy_tiger]

Well unfortunately he was part of the toll I think you would of found that had Fulton would of played hooker if he had been fit when Robbie was doing it real tough with groin . Why can't we keep Both Blair and Fulton . Fulton has even played as half back in a challenge cup final in ESL and personally thought he was one of there best three that day

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

point taken - but i prefer blair if we did have to make that choice - thats all!

Well Fulton would not start of course But I want him in the 17
