I think Sheens might try Lawerence a fullback. He has speed and power and some decent ball playing ability too!!

Shannon McDonnell will be back but I would love to see James Tedescoe get his chance, he is a freak.
Reddy is quite a handy back-up. He places wing, centre and fullback. I don't think his the type of player we would target straight up for fullback though. His yet to really excel at fullback and prefers the centres.
Reddy could be depth signings in case Brown, Mullaney and Tedesco don't work out at the back.

I'd give Mullaney a run - yes i know he is small but so was Hodgo - plus the added bonus of a real goalkicker. If He doesn't come up to scratch would go with Brown or Reddy - both similar in my opinion. Tedesco is still at least a year possibly 2 away from FG.

Why the hell would they re-sign him after having let him go previously. He's been tried and failed.

If sheens would put Lawrence at fullback for 1 season it would be Billy who?

I agree. I just cant work out why it hasnt been tried. Imagine his kick returns….imagine his ability to pop up all over the field......he's be the most dangerous player in the comp.
Maybe Simona and Lote on the left will allow Sheens to try Lawrence at fullback.
If Sheens intended using either Brown or Mullaney at fullback next year he should be trying them there now to see how they go, pick one if successful and they have a head start on next year. For that reason I think sheens must have someone else in mind, maybe Reddy? I hope not Shannon McDonnell. Perhaps Lote?? It would be interesting to see how Lawrence played at fullback but I doubt Sheens would move one of the games best centres. If gun's info in another thread is correct then we might hear about a fullback being signed.
Joel Reddy will be the fullback next year. He was always a fullback and its just that Hayne was their and they needed centres that he didn't play their but he is a natural fullback. He has the qualities we need in a fullback
1) Great under the high ball- a massive weakness for any side if it isn't their at fullback
2) Really solid defensively
3) Runs the ball back hard- Something everyone has complained about others not doing
Is he the quickest bloke in the game no - but in reality he doesen't need to be we need a fullback who runs hard and is safe in defence and under the high ball
Most importantly he is consistently good and that is something we really miss - notice the issues with McKinnon this year
Oh and he scores tries and breaks the line and is a great professional (something you will notice with all 3 signings and something you will notice the players we got rid of not McKinnon or Payten who went for other reasons lacked - Gibbs, Fifita, Moltzen all lacked in this area)

I don't know about you guys but anyone is looking a much better option than Wade at the moment.

3\. Blake Ayshford
4\. Joel Reddy
5\. Mitch Brown

Can anyone tell me anything about Tom Humble? Is he a good player? What are his strengths? I know he played a few games of first grade but can't recall what he did. Has anyone heard any more about a possible move by Rob Lui to Brisbane? I would rather see Jacob Miller at halfback next year.
Mitch Brown.
