Give Walters the no7, can't be any worse than the underachiever Brooks.

We also need a no1, Dooee isn't a bad player but he's just not a 1, adds very little in attack.
Imo he's a 3,4.
We need some speed, we need an excitement machine at the back, we've got a sloth.

Garner needs a rocket, he's nowhere near the player he was last year, gone backwards.

This is the second post I have read of yours - saying AD is not a full back and that he is too slow. Fair enough that is your opinion.

However who is the replacement, all well and good saying no but I want to know who gets the yes.

Shift Nofoaluma to the 1

Watching Doohey is like watching an old bloke in the park doing Yoga

Doohey isn’t a fullback , he’s a centre

AND Nofoaluma is not a FB. If that is the answer to our so called FB problem it is not solved.

We are talking next year here - the 2021 + seasons.

Fact ..Doohey is too slow at the back and that’s why he’s always out of position ..
He’s a centre at best .

I also don’t believe this ‘he’s always out of position’ thing. He’s saved multiple tries for us in the last few weeks, and got caught out by one kick from cleary who’s the best half in the competition right now.

Last time ..
Doohey isn’t a fullback ..never was .

He’s a fill in at best .

He’s another jack of all trades .

Why’d you think Souths let him go ?

If he was a messiah in the 1 jersey like all you lot make him out to be , Souths would’ve kept him ..

End of story

No Mate, not t he end of t he story, the start of the story.

AD is not a FB - ok that is your opinion.

I ask the question for the second or third time.

Who is his LONG TERM replacement???? It is a question, can I have an answer.

We will need to scout for a proper fullback won’t we !

Thank you for the answer.

There is no one - so leave him at full back.

While I agree with you, Russ, I do think we need to find an alternative. I think, in some sort of order the best fullbacks are:
Teddy,
Turbo,
Ponga,
Gutho,
Papps,
Charnze,
Tuivsa-Scheck

then a gap to

Dylan Edwards
Latrell
maybe Moylan
etc etc.

I think the Manly replacement is better than AD.

Point being, a great fullback doesn't necessarily make a great team but looking at that list, the top all teams have a very good fullback. AD is a long way from that class.

Yet shockingly, his numbers this year at fullback are every bit as good (if not better) than Charnze and RTS and not far from Ponga.

It's footy, unfortunately, not maths.

Fair call, but I reckon he’s a lot better than a lot of
people give him credit for and still has a lot of upside. I might be wrong though!

Bloke can play footy, no doubt, I just don't think he's a fullback.

Where would you play him?

Watching Doohey is like watching an old bloke in the park doing Yoga

Doohey isn’t a fullback , he’s a centre

AND Nofoaluma is not a FB. If that is the answer to our so called FB problem it is not solved.

We are talking next year here - the 2021 + seasons.

Fact ..Doohey is too slow at the back and that’s why he’s always out of position ..
He’s a centre at best .

I also don’t believe this ‘he’s always out of position’ thing. He’s saved multiple tries for us in the last few weeks, and got caught out by one kick from cleary who’s the best half in the competition right now.

Last time ..
Doohey isn’t a fullback ..never was .

He’s a fill in at best .

He’s another jack of all trades .

Why’d you think Souths let him go ?

If he was a messiah in the 1 jersey like all you lot make him out to be , Souths would’ve kept him ..

End of story

No Mate, not t he end of t he story, the start of the story.

AD is not a FB - ok that is your opinion.

I ask the question for the second or third time.

Who is his LONG TERM replacement???? It is a question, can I have an answer.

We we’ll have to scout for one won’t we
FMD ?

If Doohey is our long term fullback god help us

Thank you for the answer.

There is no one - so leave him at full back.

While I agree with you, Russ, I do think we need to find an alternative. I think, in some sort of order the best fullbacks are:
Teddy,
Turbo,
Ponga,
Gutho,
Papps,
Charnze,
Tuivsa-Scheck

then a gap to

Dylan Edwards
Latrell
maybe Moylan
etc etc.

I think the Manly replacement is better than AD.

Point being, a great fullback doesn't necessarily make a great team but looking at that list, the top all teams have a very good fullback. AD is a long way from that class.

Yet shockingly, his numbers this year at fullback are every bit as good (if not better) than Charnze and RTS and not far from Ponga.

It's footy, unfortunately, not maths.

Fair call, but I reckon he’s a lot better than a lot of
people give him credit for and still has a lot of upside. I might be wrong though!

Bloke can play footy, no doubt, I just don't think he's a fullback.

Where would you play him?

5/8, maybe centre

I reckon he’d be wasted in the centres but he’d be an excellent 5/8.

I know most in here are desperate for speed but I think the modern game is more power than speed. Except for fullback. Big powerful backs simply run a numbers game but the slick fullback sets the cat amongst the pigeons as an extra man or a decoy. It's always nice to see a long range try finished by a flying winger but they are fairly rare these days. If tries don't come from powerplays they come from kicks. I think AD in the centres would be perfect for either.

We do .. but most of them play for other clubs .

On the Doueihi chat, he does seem to be slowed down by a niggling injury. Watching some of his Souths highlights he seemed faster in them. Hopefully the lack of pace is only temporary. Defensive can't really complain with how he's been going. In attack I think he's reading the game well but not quite getting the choice of pass right. With time that will come and I think he'll become a good fullback.

Give Walters the no7, can't be any worse than the underachiever Brooks.

We also need a no1, Dooee isn't a bad player but he's just not a 1, adds very little in attack.
Imo he's a 3,4.
We need some speed, we need an excitement machine at the back, we've got a sloth.

Garner needs a rocket, he's nowhere near the player he was last year, gone backwards.

This is the second post I have read of yours - saying AD is not a full back and that he is too slow. Fair enough that is your opinion.

However who is the replacement, all well and good saying no but I want to know who gets the yes.

I basically agree with your list TB - however they all have 2 seasons + playing FB except Paps and that mongrel from Souffs.

I think AD at the end of his 2 seasons will be as good as a few on that list.

If you were to replace AD at FB - no one on that list is available, so you really are looking at a cc player, a bench player etc. You mentioned Brendan Elliot ( I also did in another post earlier) who is a winger for Manly, quite quick, tad over 6 foot and fills in for Tubo Tom from time to time. I like him but I do not think he is better than AD but I think we should go after him as a winger and fill in FB.

Over short distance.... watch him in a bit of space. He got burned by Croft a few weeks ago and looked like he was stuck in the mud. He’s not running the length of the field ever.

AD is our best fullback and probably our best 5/8. At 6 he could have the simple game plan of run hard like a 2nd rower or give early ball out wide.

The spine is missing a good support player, we make a lot of breaks and half breaks but there is no one there to take advantage. Look what a difference Tedesco's support play makes for the Roosters or Gutherson's makes for Parra.

I thought that is why Walters was bought here. He should have been on the bench as a utility he could be dynamic coming off the bench trailing
Grant. It will be an interesting week as Brisbane radio are reporting Walters or Glanville could be off to the Raiders this week as potential replacements for Hodgson.

Yeah, I've noticed the same. I can't remember the game but I did see him get mowed down quite easily the other week.
 
Why does everyone think Talau is back this week? If he's re-injured a hamstring, there is no way he'd be playing this week and unlikely for a few weeks I'd imagine.

I've never heard of a player returning from a hamstring injury as quick as Talau did, so I'd say he was rushed back because we have no one else.

One thing about him is he involves himself all the time by being in position to receive an offload. The Eels can afford to have him as they have pace all over the park.

very good news

but if he does come back this week, do we want him playing 80 minutes instantly, and have a chance of re injuring it
