OFFICIAL Liam Fulton [Discussion]

Look I don't whether he will put Brooks in this week but if he was to come in this week it would put Siro to the bench. But to be honest Marshall and Fulton have a great record in the halves if I'm not mistaken
 
I hope not. We need to bring these young halves into a team that has structure, so they can play their basic game to get a feel for the big show. At present they cant hide, our sliding defence isnt anywhere near where it has to be and they will be isolated and targeted. And not only defensive structure, in attack they will benefit when we can get players in motion to be some sort of standard and know that someone will always be there.
 
Here's my take on the move.

Liam has proven to be one of those players that can be given a role and go out there and follow the instructions for that role to the benefit of his team.. He has done it at 6 and 9 both here and overseas in the past. And here's the twister, i think he will relish being 5/8 and provide more creativity than Sirro and Anasta combined. In fact, i'd go as far to say that with a halfback like Brooks inside him, Liam could very well be a big success at 5/8\. Yes he lacks that class and X factor of some halves, but trust me, his intelligence is higher than people think, as is his ball skills. He hits holes, he can slide across the line and hit hole runners, he can straighten the attack, and guess what, the guy actually has a decent kicking game.

I hope Fulton is given a genuine halves role this week and i think we all will be pleasantly surprised at what he produces.
 
I dont know if it was a good move or a bad move to be honest, though if its an even swap ie. he has a shocker, we still benefit from the message sent to Benji. I like Liam, and like that he is re-signed. He is the sort of guy that can be a fair utility player, yet still earn a spot in the week to week team given the correct role, as in he is a utility without the normal roster liability..

Lets hope he makes a fist of it, would love to pull the Bunnies pants down this week. The bloke is my favourite Tiger to be honest.
 
He can ball play, and has an OK short kicking game I guess…..its a band aid solution, nothing more...lets get real here
He'll be into the forwards after 20 no doubt.
 
All of us know what's going to happen on Friday night so can't argue with the Fulton defensive strategy , try to keep it to a minimum.
 
Fulton's there to tackle Sutton, that's all

Sutton would run straight over the top of Benji on current form and has been tearing teams part all year
 
I give Potter some credit for trying to fix the problem in the halves with the players he has available, he is trying something different and picked a player he can rely on to give it a go. Whether the move lasts for the first 15-20 minutes or more or less will again be part of the coach's plan (barring injury) and how it plays out in practice. It will be interesting to see how Benji reacts.
 
Liam could make a good go of this, a good player and last week, he did just that, Benji's job as he went missing. I hope he goes well and put a frightner up Benji. Unfortunatley you weaken the middle ruck, however you 2 fold strengthen the halves. Have a goof game Fulton. P.S. He's in my Fantasy Team and kicks ass.
 
Fulton is definitely in there defensively, probably for the first 20 mins, his workrate is fantastic. We will probably see him switch to the forwards and Benji will come on when the game has settled.

I think that's what we'll see for sure.
