OFFICIAL Liam Fulton [Discussion]

[LaT]

In a different era, I'd think he'd be a chance of making either side. Tough, smart footballer, team player, great bloke.

With the game how it is today, with so much focus on size and specific roles for as opposed to jack of all trades….Liam was born too late IMO.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

No way

 

[MacDougall]

You say that but then they picked Chris McQueen.

 

[MacDougall]

I also think had he came up through a different club, say Melbourne, Brisbane or the Dogs he'd have had a crack by now too.

^^ This ^^

In the mid to late 90's he would've been a shoe in if a spot was available.

I think Liam is one of,if not the most underrated players in the comp.

Even by his own fans.

I think he would make 60 tackles and kill it.

 

[simonthetiger]

And those that think he wouldnt make it…...in the Q side,how about Ash Harrison and Dallas Johnson.

IMO I'd take Liam over those two any day of the week,.

 

[Goose]

I dont think so.

Liam is good at what he does.

The players that have played his role over the years have offered a bit more.

Maybe in another era.

Giraffe hunting season ended last week

Put your weapon away

 

[diedpretty]

no way - they just dumped Harrison who offers much the the same as Liam and is bigger.

 

[Guest]

No way

x2\. Queenslands back row make good metres, something Fulton is not renowned for. If he was 10kg heavier, different story.

 

[Eye_Of_Da_Tiger]

After tonight's effort I reckon sign him up for NSW.

 

[TurnStyle]

sorry but i think this is a slightly preposterous thread. no way in the world would fulton make the qld origin team.

 

[pHyR3]

Yes, it'd be a Game II call up due to injury though in my opinion. But once he got it, he'd have established himself as a solid origin player. Not a shoe-in but always a distinct possibility.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Don't think so

 

[BIG_AL]

Well they haven't picked him yet.

 

[Fade_To_Black]

Agree with you. And unlike Dallas Johnson he wouldn't get knocked senseless every 5 minutes.
Fults is no worse than plenty of players that have played Origin for both States over the past few seasons. A lot of it really does come down to which team you play for in the NRL. Buhrer and Dean Young are a great example of this.

 

[tigergirlz]

Needs to be resurrected again this week. Great defensive effort by the old guy….senior player! :smiley:

Grant Mayer tweeted last night "It's official, I'm starting a Liam Fulton Appreciation Society".

Unsung hero of the team

 

[happy_tiger]

Watto won't be too far away ,Fulton again played well last night and the ultimate recognition would be to get the Tigers player of the year

if he keeps this form up he will go close
