Message: [QUOTE="Mustafur, post: 3310751, member: 10189"] I don't mind this, outside the fullback position I feel we can challenge the top teams, we have alot of competition of positions, Carrigan vs flegs will be interesting, Carrigan is more consistent but I see a high ceiling with flegs, prop typically is a position that doesn't get the best out of player untill after their mid 20s, ofcourse Haas is the exception but he is extremely special and can't be underplayed but I feel like Flegler can get close to him with more experience ,he is a much more aggressive type that can have more of mental effect on our team. That saying, Herbie has to go back to wing, with the new rules its one of the most important positions, from being used as a forward for meter gains and then being the finishers on tries, he is the fastest player in the competition at his size I would say and has deadly agility so I think Wing would be more suitable to reach his potential, I would even argue he might even be more useful as a second rower then at centre tbh, he is bigger and faster then most of what we use there already. Gamble and Reynolds have to be our halves, with Reynolds in the team Gamble can focus more on his line running and grubbers which are his real strength and leave the bigger kicks to Reynolds who is probably the cream of the competition in that regard. Levi has to be resigned, it is crucial for our team going forward, the media have said it may be an issue with Turpin being in the leadership group and maybe a long term heir as captain but given our teams experience I feel this is way too early to start trumping these kind of things, the fact is Levi is much more comfortable as an 80 min hooker and is much faster with a higher passing skill he might of had a rough time at Manly but his last few games he is playing back at his Newcastle level where he was proper solid level Hooker. Cobbo is the enigma, if we have him at fullback next year we have to have him at fullback this season before the last game, we need to see how he handles it, he is stupidly young and no way a top team would of put him in this position yet outside of huge injury losses, but we need to try things at fullback, Niu is complicated, I see special things in him but he is also in a similar boat where he has been put in the firing line way too early, outside of signing an established fullback this will be our major issue going forward.
