OFFICIAL Liam Fulton [Discussion]

Well we have a bye the next time Farah misses a game for origin. so unless he gets injured we won't have to use Luani but he would be my choice for a 40min stint rotating with Fulton
 
Fulton is a quality footballer. He looks after the little things realy well. I dont know how many times Ive seem Benji slip him a hospital ball and he always seems to find a way to hang on to it. His effort starts at 100%. He absolutly would not be out of place lining up for the blues. He is one of the rocks we need to build our team on.
 
i dont think liam will be worth as much in 2015 or 2016\. 3 years will be a bit too much. he either needs to put on quite a few kilos or shed a few kilos to be a super sub. 1-2 years would've been fine. 3 years nope
 
Back in the day the old forum questioned Mark O'Niell's place in the team. Now he is written about with great respect and fondness. Fulton is the same type of player. Not flashy but does a lot of the hard work. Both are club legends in my honest opinion (or IMHO for Milky).
 
If you watch last nights game closely it was Liam talking to the ref, not Benji. Played a great senior players role - without all the hype

First grade shouldn't need a replacement for Robbie as the next origin we have the bye, only reason we would need a replacement is if Robbie gets injured for a long period, knock on wood it didn't happen
 
Is Luani really in their plans to ever play first grade though? What I'm really getting at, as crazy/stupid as it may sound, is with Tedesco injured and Meaney at fullback, would they play Brooks there? Too small, too much of a positional stretch perhaps?

These last two games have been two of Fults best…never thought I'd see him hit so hard given his slight of size. Would hate to see him moved atm. If Ted is back I guess they'd play Meaney in 9
 
Can't see the Tigers being allowed by the NRL to give Luani a second tier allowance after the way Fulton filled in so well v the Raiders
 
DO ANY OF U BLOKES WATCH THE NSW CUP OR WHAT LUANI IS A REAL PROSPECT, JUST LIKE SUE, GIVEN THE CHANCE HE WOULD BE VERY GOOD, SOME OF U BLOKES NEED TO START WATCHING GAMES AND GET UR HEADS OUT OF THE SAND.
 
Luani was in the warm up squad vs Dragons and not sure prior/post then so he's definitely not without a chance.
Played hooker first year of U20s and a bit last year too.
Second row is his suited position but he has great utility value

Have watched the last 2 reserve grade games ..Luani is a prospect but doubt he could keep up to the speed of the game in NRL maybe with 15 mt spurts. Fulton is the best fill in for Farah IMO.
 
Wont Farah be back this week?

I'd like to see Luani given a shot off the bench in 20min periods, as he would offer enough as a backrower also.

The other option if Robbie doesnt play is to start the Giraffe there and bring Brooks into dummy-half off the bench?
 
Would prefer Fulton, need his defensive ability in the middle, can run a line out of dummy half too.

Punches above his weight but it gets him out of the back row as well and paves the way for a bigger unit to get a run on the fringes.

Is your caps lock key broken?
 
I'd have to think they'd see his value. He'd be of more use than some of their backrowers and I think he's the sort of scrappy underdog that the Origin legend was made on.
