Revitalised Idris ready for next challenge

jamal at right centre, naiqama left wing is my guess.

Interesting that they said Rankin would be "unlucky" to miss out. On the contrary, he'd be 'lucky' to get a starting spot anywhere else. He's done nothing wrong but also, not done much of use outside of a good game at fullback against Souths.

I agree with this. Rankin has his moments, there were some games last year where he was diabolical but others where he was very dependable and made good metres in attack. I didn't mind the short stints at 9 because he was quite sharp around the middle of the field, but I'd take Frozone on the wing ahead of him.

Yeah I watched Kev's 2015 highlights the other day and he did some pretty amazing things on the wing, especially linking with Tedesco. If Idris pushes him out of the centres (which I think he should) then Kev back to the wing for mine.

I wonder if any of those "experts" on NRL.com saw Kev defend this year.

 

[cktiger]

Kev does not see himself as a winger - even approached Taylor about this the last time he was playing there.

Would prefer naiqama left right out because we have 2 wingers better than him and rankin.rankin cant run and naiqama cant read defence

I can guarantee none of them saw him attempt to catch a high ball with his 'seal catching a beach ball style'..that's for sure…

Did he catch it on his nose?

We've certainly had some players with interesting styles of defusing the high balls

From heading them away to refusing to acknowledge they are even coming to turning your back on them

WOW

Surprised we haven't decided to sign someone who used witchcraft on them and sent them out on the full yet

Some would say that he did.

These muppets don't know anything about our squad. Jamal has already stripped down the weight. And is already beating many of his team mates in training.

And Kev won't play wing. Funny how some people's memories can only remember positive things, but forget the bad things.

Well I wouldn't have Simona on the wing either as he's one to drop a bomb or two or three. Hunt is the guy that could push for a wing spot come round 1

Yeh its not like Hunt never dropped a bomb….

 

[happy_tiger]

Name one of our wingers we've had that has been consistent under the high ball …ever .

Luke Covell used to be pretty good, he just couldn't get very high off the ground.

Pat Richards might have been the best all-round, even in his later years? Fitzhenry did alright too.

What about Makasini Richter aka Jackson aka Lipina Kaufusi?

Old Richter had more names than Jason Bourne, just not quite as lethal :laughing:

Yeah but I'd have more confidence in Justin over Tim tho to be honest.

They gave him a chance at start of this year and he blew a couple of games for us.

Look I'm not a big Hunt fan but you say he had a few chances at the start of the season…Tell me this how many chances has Simona had now in his 6 years he's been in grade?
