The scores were level after how many minutes of extra time and Fulton threw an intercept pass and we lost the game. I was simply stating a fact.
I can recall a few intercept passes thrown by Fulton over the years. I am a big fan of Fulton, but not at 5/8.
For the record, I blame Benji for losing that semi against Easts. In the first half he threw a punch at Pearce, just as Ellis was scoring a try adjacent to the posts. The ref disallowed the try and gave Easts a penalty for the punch. The 6 points Benji cost us would have meant a 7 point lead when that scrum was packed a minute from full time, and we would have been home and hosed.

Yes there have; but there is still a sizeable part of the forum community that bag him most weeks simply because he isnt 110 kilos and bending the line with every run.

Simply? He is a second rower in the NRL. He needs to bend the line.

Let's take this into overdrive.
Fulton once visited the Virgin Islands. They are now called "The Islands".
When Fulton does push-ups at training he isn't actually pushing himself up, he is pushing the planet away.
Fulton has a grizzly bear carpet in his bedroom. The bear isn't dead, it is just too afraid to move.
When Alexander Bell invented the telephone, he found he had 3 missed calls from Liam Fulton.
Some magicians can walk through water, but Liam Fulton can swim through land.
Liam Fulton can win a game of Connect 4 in three moves.

Liam Fulton doesn’t tend to take too many things seriously.
A noted club funnyman, Fulton is seemingly always laughing or joking with his teammates, but whenever he speaks about the disappointment of 2013 and the club’s plans for 2014, you won’t find a more serious or determined man than the 29-year-old Fulton.
“First and foremost,” he said, “I won’t be happy if we don’t make top eight. Not playing semifinals last year was pretty disappointing with the squad that we had.”
Having picked up the club’s Best and Fairest Award as well as the Player’s Player Award last year, Fulton is coming off a successful season that also included a new three-year deal.
Unfortunately, the off-season ended with him sustaining a number of injuries — a pectoral injury the most serious of those that he’s dealt with for most of this year’s pre-season.
But the light at the end of the tunnel is rapidly approaching, with Fulton himself giving the green light for a probable return to action in R1 against the St. George Illawarra Dragons.
“Yeah, I should be sweet [for a Round 1 return],” he said confidently.
“I’ve been training hard and had a hard session today and I pulled up pretty good so I’m just looking forward to getting through to next week and playing again. I’ve done a lot of hard work with the rehab staff, Peter Mousse and Luke Portese, and I’m now feeling pretty good.”
“It’s definitely been a long time between drinks!”
With over 150 games for the Wests Tigers under his belt, and one of the four remaining players from the club’s maiden premiership in 2005, Fulton knows that his experience — having been through both the highs and lows of first-grade football — as well as his easy-going nature have made him a leader-type figure amongst a relatively young forward back.
“I’m always happy to have a talk to them,” he said.
“Players like young Curtis Sironen are coming through, we always have a chat about different kinds of things, different plays and the like, just a general friendship I suppose, talking about things both on and off the field with him.
“With all the young guys coming through, the senior guys are always happy to help everyone, even if that means pulling some of the space cadets back into line,” he laughed.
Having been there in 2005, Fulton knows all too well how a young group can come together and, with a slight twinkle in his eye, suggested that this year’s young squad could well surprise again.
“We’ve got some good young local kids coming through this year and I think we’re definitely going to be on this year from where we were last year.”
“We’ll definitely surprise some people this year.”

As a player you would be wasting your time if you did not have high expectations for your team the week before the season kicks off.
As a supporter, what I want and what I expect are two different things. I really expect us to be close to the spoon, but a few things bounce our way and a good injury run, we could be a dark horse for the eight and once in the eight anything can happen

What's your evidence, last year's position? well that was pretty much on the money for us in 2012, dogs in 2012, roosters last year and souths in 2012 right?
only 2 teams have done consistently well over the last 10 years and there are ALWAYS big movers every year yet EVERY year everyone forgets that and claims the previous year's top 4 will be unstoppable. For me, either manly or melbourne will falter (probably storm) and roosters could move down to number 2, but to be honest they are very well poised to go back to back with the least omissions from last years squad in ANY squad in something like 10 years. Only 1 person from the GF team is gone too (again the lowest in ~10 years)
