Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2507214, member: 1899"] 40-4 :laugh: The funny thing is, I was the most adamant about not playing him there. In the end, Copley's injury forced Hook's hand and he had to play Norman at fullback even though it's clear Corey has too many critical issues to ever be anything more than a stop gap option. In years times we'll look back at this year and we'll wonder why we were so bad and I believe names like Norman, Maranta, Old Man Prince, Wallace, (maybe but most likely) McCullough and our bench will stick out like sore thumbs. Right now, we have to be smart about how we go about team selections. On one hand, we don't gain a lot with Norman long term other than the odd money ball, long ball or half-break. Still, we don't know if Kahu can handle the rigors of the fullback position and between you and me I don't want to throw him there and see him potentially ambo'd straight off. We saw how demanding the position was when Hodges had a stint back there - it basically mucked up his season from that point. I wouldn't be opposed to giving Kahu a shot at fullback against the Cowboys which is after the Bye but I don't want to see us rush with him. However, I'll pose this question to you guys. If the rumours are true and Bond + Kahu sign elsewhere, what do we do? [/QUOTE]
