Message: [QUOTE="Emanon, post: 3380139, member: 13157"] We had that style of defensive fullback years ago in Josh Hoffman. Had we stuck with him then, he may of developed a reasonable passing game the same way Minichiello did at some stage. We still had Blair or Mcguire at that time who could of made up for the lack of a passing game with McCullough as an extra kicker if needed until then. (Lack of creativity in the bottom teams will keep them there) But the top teams then had ball playing attacking fullbacks who were good defensively. That's what we wanted. We still want to see that while watching Niu or Issako, but wishing we had Tedesco or Ponga (or Walsh, who the club let leave while also thinking Sam Walker was a fullback...but anyway) I think we have to persist with Niu for the rest of season though. There are signs of Boyd's tutoring slowly starting to show in Niu's game, but it is a work in progress. If Niu hasn't progressed by seasons end, go hard for an established fullback like Walsh, Ponga, or Manu, instead of rolling the dice with another experiment. The players we really need though are a few Nicho Hines style utilities, but that's another topic entirely. [/QUOTE]
