He has been great. Every hit-up is quality.

@WeHaveCheeKam said in Corey Thompson:

He is far more effective at fullback where he has open space and the field to play in front of him, where he can use his footwork and pace off the mark. On the wing he is restricted by angles and finishing. On the wing he is and most wingers are just really used for hit ups from our end and finishing off backline moves (which is rare). If we use him as a winger, we need to have him floating more (Maybe swap with Mbye for 20 minutes or so?), similarly to how the broncos use Oates

He played better than Mbye has most of the year in his first go there. Do you keep him at fullback ? On the wing he has been our best outside back all year.

@Sixty_Nine_69 said in State of Origin (NSW)- The halves:

So, the question to you guys, who would you pick as the NSW Blues Halves for the 2019 series?

Brooks and Walker.

@formerguest - Liddle played a full game in reserves on the weekend.

That is a tough call to make on Mahe. He was good apart from that missed tackle. Madge makes a lot of tough calls. Mahe is slow and it’s obvious he is getting caught out a bit but the team has been covering for it. Marsters should be on notice as well.

I like the team.

@TIGER Our centres at the moment are Mahe and Marsters and I don’t think he is doing any better than either of them.

@avocadoontoast said in Us vs the Storm **live game thread**:

Can you please explain how you have come to the conclusion he is the best genuine centre in our club? He’s played 3 NRL games in total, only 1 for us. In that game he ran for about 75m and did very little. Since then he’s done very little in CC.

Based on what we’ve seen from Madge if Momirovski was killing it he would be picked.

2 Aloiai
1 Brooks

I’d have given Mahe some points apart from that last tackle.

@Fitzy05 said in 4th Spot:

If we play like we did against the Storm each week we will win more games than we lose for the rest of the season. Playing against the Roosters and Souths in the next few weeks isn’t going to be easy.

Getting to 4th spot would be a massive step. I think that is aiming a bit too high. We could though but with the cattle we have we would have to play really consistent footy and have some guys perform to their best every week. We would have to win games like the one we just lost against the Storm.

I’d love to see it happen.
