I wouldn't rush him in at fullback. Give him until round 15 or 16 next year on the wing and then shift him. He needs to learn a lot about general fullback play and I think he'll be a much better player for it. Maybe this could work for the first half of the season next year?
2. RTS
3. SBW
6. Maloney
12. Cordner

As I said last week, that 3/4 line is the best I have seen us field over the last couple of decades (at least on potential). As good as RTS and Moga are going and as promising as they are looking, I think they both need a full season of wing before they are transitioned into their preferred positions - centre and fullback. allow them to get used to first grade before you throw them into the deep end. Dare I say that in a year, Leilua will be fully grown and finally ready to move into his rightful position in the pack allowing moga to come into the centres and mini will certainly have hung them up paving the way for RTS to move to his preferred position; fullback.
As hot and cold and difficult to watch mini is at times, we almost need him to bridge the gap for a year and help bring through this next breed. I dare say that he is not going to individually lose us many football games so it can't really do that much harm and if he is used effectively/swaps with RTS in attack, it shouldnt attract from our attack too much either.
On another note, how good is cordner at lock and guerra running good lines on the left. Cordner's toughness, workrate and leg drive is great to watch. Not to mention his smart ball playing and hole running. A real complete footballer imo. Also much better game from maubs imo. This game shows that we have a lot of talent, we just need some good structures and coaching to help them develop into the world beaters they should be

After disagreeing with me you've surely come around to the fact that FPN's best position is in the front row. I think at lock he tries to take on too much of a ball playing roll but in the front row he's forced to take those extra hit ups off the kick offs, drop outs etc. & just generally being in the role where you're expected to take the hit ups straight off the ruck.

Lost count of how many times he'd make 2-3 players around him look like fools.. For someone in only his 2nd game he looked awesome.
Was it Moga who made a break after fielding a kick? Looked like a good run but was far away.. looked like he only had one more to beat at the end and would have scored too?
