When will we see Sheck as our go to match winner?

[Guest]

Should be returning all kicks and needs to be in the middle and getting his hands on the ball as often as possible in the red zone[popping up and running off every play]. He'd take plenty of pressure off our forwards in attack , total waste on the wing..

When he plays 5/8.

Maybe, but who would kick our goals?

By the time sheck is 5/8, Hastings will be kicking the goals.

Not sure if sheck will hang around that long though. On radio the other day he said how much his family adore rugby union, and that his father will watch it 24/7 from any country.

The all blacks really wanted him so did the warriors mate .I know that for a fact Locks ex girlfriend, whose father was the warriors ceo at the time was really surprised that he had signed with us.Who Knows whats in his head, in the short term hes with us but the next world cup and Olympics he might very well do a sonny and jump ship.Couldnt blame him for that Olympic Gold is the ultimate for a sportsman.

Heard you the first time..

Correct me if i'm wrong, but hasn't RTS already stated his intentions to one day go back to Union and play for the All Blacks? (along with JWH)

Agree.
Also not fast enough for a winger.

In that case what's the good of buying Kiwis, investing time in them only to have them rush off to RU?
Well besides winning the odd premiership with us that is.

If they're going back to RU, then there's not much good building a team around them for the future [except SKD and Moa, they're here to stay]...might as well invest the time in Aussies who are staying here.
RTS is good but he's not at his best yet...it's in the future he promises to be.
No way I'd be dropping Maloney to fit him in as 5/8.

Olympic Gold is overrated in sports like RU, tennis etc.

But only in a real sport....Not Yawnion!

When he can go 5 games without dropping a bomb I'll be comfortable shifting him to fullback. Its the only thing that is stopping his shift into the no.1 jersey IMO

In the words of Michael Lee Aday - "You took the words right out of my mouth".

I find he's a bit too eager on occasion. The ones he drops near the in goal I have no problem with, you always have to attack in that situation. It's the ones that are shockers and 30 metres out that shit me. When the ball is that far out with loads of traffic coming, sometimes it's better to hang back and let the opposition have their go at it then sum up the situation. 8 times out of 10 they're going to drop it and it's a hand over on the front foot instead of another set defending our line.

I keep saying this the only thing I question with RTS and fullback is his speed.

Yes he drops the odd bomb but I've seen him catch plenty and he would have to improve his work rate/positional play but you can fix those things.

To my eye he just lacks that top speed the great fullbacks have.

He is top class though and I think could play anywhere in the backline and still be a rep player, including 5/8.
