Tuqiri not ready for fullback role yet: coach

[Tiger_Watto]

Its a no brainer.Fullback:Mullaney cant tackle (Either can Moltzen after yesterdays game)and will be a speed bump playing in the NRL. Brown makes too many errors and lacks commitment. Moltzen played his best game ever for the Tigers in Round 1, but he was terrible yesterday. You dont want to make too many changes to any team as it disrupts the defencive pattern. Easy, Moltzen stays at Fullback!Halfback:Lui is injured. Benji didnt work last year and likes that little bit more room he gets at 6\. Tuamata lacks match fitness and needs a few more games under his belt. Tuamata's best option is the 14 at this stage. Our best option is by far Blake Lazarus. He is killing it for Balmain and brings solid goal kicking form. Lazarus is the new 7!Mr Sheens, just say thankyou with a win over the Eels and I wont send you my Consultancy Fee…

Doesnt matter who plays half if our defense isnt holding up and we keep making stupid mistakes like last week we will struggle, for the record I would go for lazarus seen him play for Balmain looks the goods is a proper halfback.

As if Tuqiri cant play full back … He spent seven years under kicks. Move Moltzen to half and Tuqiri to 1\. I would rather Tomato starting at wing than Fitz and he could move to full back if for some reason Tuqiri isn't up to it. Fitz on the bench in case. Molzten had a shocker against Easts but two weeks ago the consensus was for him at 7 - give him a go there for a game or two. (And if this doesnt work against Parra or the next team, then give Lazarus a go while Lui is out)

What is Sheens going to do with Tuqiri when Tuiaki returns. If hes not ready now wouldn't it make sense to blood him as soon as possible so he is ready when Tui returns. Tuqiri is a highly experienced highly professional player I'm sure he will adapt to the fullback roll with no problems
