Could we see the debut of Rhys Pritchard this weekend?
With reports of McKinnon looking unlikely for this week, could Sheens give the youngster a run in the number 1 jersey or a stint on the wing to accommodate for Huihahau's unfortunate injury last week?
He has played out of position with stints at fullback for the Magpies this season…
 
Well CT, Pritchard has been one of Wests best players this season and reportedly was their most dangerous against Newtown last week. Should McKinnon be ruled out, I think he's worth a go over Brown. Pritchard is arguably better under the high ball and is very elusive.

I am guessing his runs at fullback were ordered by Sheens to Epifania. He even had a run at 5/8th too. Perhaps to see if Rhys could be moulded into a Hodgson-like player.
He didn't put a foot wrong in any of those runs at fullback and in the halves, which shows the kid has confidence to grab opportunities with both hands considering fullback is one of the hardest positions to adjust to as a first up call.
I even thought his general kicking game was pretty handy.

Keep Guessing….

More to do with BRET taking out Kepa....

Would love to see Pritchard get a run....

Cmon Sheens take the chance.....
 
I dream of the day we have 'good, reliable, solid' depth in every position. Brown at Fullback does not instill me with a great deal of confidence. He will be tested & tested heavily. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ryan retained as Fullback. Regardless of his shocker against Souths last week, Sheens is loyal and usually looks for a player to redeem themselves. If this is the case, Daniela to right wing, Brown to the bench. That's what i'm thinking the Einstein will do
 
When Hodgo left i thought Ryan would make a good FB , he appeared to have the same determination to go forward despite the battering from opponents but it appears Ryan doesn’t really look interested in the Number 1 Jersey.
Between Brown and Ryan , i will hand the gig over to Brown , even under pressure Brown looks composed.. He might make an error but he doesn’t let it affect the next play and he looks determined to make meters with kick returns where as Ryan seems to invite opposition to his end before deciding to take a run .. The objective of a FB with kick returns should be simple and to reach the other try line or get as close to it as possible. Perfect example , Billy the kid ..
Now getting back to the point , whoever is the Fullback needs to do the job well tomorrow..
