Got a sneaky suspicion Madge might try Roberts at fullback

 

[colinbh]

People think Widdop could play no1?? IMO the way the game is played these days he would be targeted and found out. Love to have his goal kicking skills in the team, but you can’t hide a player anymore.

We have to leave pathways for the kids and not block them with old blokes

Kids? What kids?

We’ve got no specialist fullbacks in our top 30 right now especially not a kid. Even Laurie in 2022 is not a specialist fullback.

Getting B.Smith will be the difference between us being a top 4 side or being a bottom 8 side for the next 10 years.
Imo we can't wait 3yrs to see if one of our current 9s is a rep player then go looking for one if they're not.

This is the biggest get the club could pull off for a long time

Disagree - he is not as good a DH as Liddle - good at a lot of other things but his passing from the ruck is rank.

Thats why he plays for NZ and Liddle struggles to make a side that has finished out of the 8 for 2 decades

If you think Smiths passing from the ruck, or speed from the ruck is better than Liddle - you are delusional.

Besides Liddle can't play for NZ - he is not a NZ'er.

If you think Liddle is a better player you're beyond delusional

So why has he played for the jr Kiwis, New Zealand and New Zealand Maori if he's not a Kiwi?

😄😄😄😄😄 Um nup

At this point in time Mbye is first choice fullback. We don’t really have anyone else who can play that role besides Doueihi and he’s out 5/8. It’s a bit of a worry that we don’t have much depth there, Mbye has had a lot of knee issues.

Our spine on paper is the worst in the NRL, find me a worse one

Well Liddle had an injury, and the competition for NZ hooker is not particulary strong,, ie who would be 2nd best hooker in NZ?

 

[jirskyr]

i totally agree Kazoo Kid, he looked his best at fullback last year, but its guaranteed he will drop at least one bomb a game

Are you offering odds on this?

Roberts is strike only...Momo safe and smart enuff to pick up posiotional play(which Doehi wasnt)
Momo 1st centre picked after Bellamys comments..he'll be a better player,and for what he did deserves first opportunity

 

[finnzo]

Surley we wouldn’t let mbye go without a decent replacement

 

[finnzo]

Only suitable replacement that I can think of that is a available is Matt Moylan I doubt we would go there at the moment but

Liddle was an Aust Schoolboy star. He has been sought after by Manly, Canterbury and ironically the Storm but always stuck with WTs. Smith is a fine player but more a running and impact forward. Liddle has a great pass from dummy half and is super quick.

Yeah love the cheese but agree totally. Liddle's service at hooker is one of the best I've seen. Beautiful hands. Cheese is good but in comparison at hooker, liddle is better. Would love to sign him but only as a lock and backup 9 if liddle needs a break during games.

At this point in time Mbye is first choice fullback. We don’t really have anyone else who can play that role besides Doueihi and he’s out 5/8. It’s a bit of a worry that we don’t have much depth there, Mbye has had a lot of knee issues.

Our spine on paper is the worst in the NRL, find me a worse one

Bulldogs, Titans, Dragons, Warriors...

broncos would be there surely

I like Momo to be given a chance at FB.Alternatively search the lower grades in all teams for someone prefaliby with speed ,.It is a specialist position today.I think all sides will look closely at all grades to see who performs in the trials as a lot of players never got on the field last year ,there might be some gems in the lower grades.

He played there for 1 game. Terrible

I hope we can sign Stephen Crichton at $800k on a 3 year deal. He has a heap of upside over the next few seasons.

 

[Tigerwould]

It was it long ago we had about 5 options at 5/8. I wouldn’t play Momo at fullback.
