Wake up and smell the Xmas tinsel!

Miller will be playing in the number 7 jersey, Anasta will be second row/lock and Marshall will finally go back to 6 where he belongs. Our centres have not been getting enough room to move over the past couple of seasons due to Marshalls crossfield running.

For me the biggest difference will be having a coach that is going to have 4 forwards on the bench instead of 3 forwards and a back. Under Tim Sheens we played a lot of games using only 16 men with the 17th man getting a run with 5min to go, those days are over! you can't do that and expect to make the finals.

Looking forward to seeing big Matty Groat, James Gavet and Jack Buchanan play next season.

so if we have Fulton on the bench we won't make finals?

I would say Fulton will be starting in the second row.
 
Fulton is a defensive machine, he needs to be on ther not as a impact player, but a defensive one. Leave it to BMM, Blair, Pettybourne and Bell to do that.
 
Fulton is a thinker and has shown this on many occasions he will defiantly be in the attacking mix …..as far as all forwards the Tiges have at the moment Fulton is by far the best at reading a game (Farah the exception ).
 
Fults is a player who is capable of playing the entire game so would be wasted on the bench, would still like to see him bulk up a little but with only approved supplements these days this appears unlikely, gee I wish I had his metabolism.
 
I have a lot of time for Fulton, a team player, has heart and will go down swinging. Need all the team to be like that. Can we clone him??? The problem is Blair and Anasta are high profile players. You can't very well have either on the bench, so much to the teams detrement, Fulton will probably get shuffled, even tho he is IMO in the top 5 players we have. Damn politics.
