Blake Ferguson @ Roosters office.

The fact that you have to justify your life as if you have to prove something to me is pure evidence that you're a fag.

Now just come out spanner. It's ok, little steps first.

LOL,there is a one way sign on my butt.
It says exit only,no entry...

[Guest]

Reported in the papers that he will sign with the Chooks within days. News press, so should be right on the money.

[Johnny Tobin]

I will be very surprised.

Dont know much about him.

Can he play fullback?

[Guest]

If he comes, I wouldn't be surprised to see:

1. Perrett
2. Carney
3. Kenny-Dowall
4. Linnett
5. Ferguson

...in 2011. Perrett is an accomplished fullback, Dugan isn't coming, Carney provides what Perrett did on the wing except probably a little more pace, Ferguson provides height and strong finishing out wide too.

In 2008, Ferguson played 13 NYC games.

13 games, 5 tries, 7 linebreaks, 41 tackle breaks, average 10 runs for 87 metres

3 games, 0 tries, 2 linebreaks, 25 tackle breaks, average 19 runs for 158 metres

In 2010 so far, he has played 16 NRL games.

16 games, 5 tries, 4 linebreaks, 60 tackle breaks, average 11 runs for 98 metres

Just to add to macks post,

2. Carney is Justin Carney.

Mack Perrett is not a fullback - he did ok in patches in Mini's absence but he isn't and never will be a long term replacement.

Blake wants to play centre, NOT winger. This signing doesn't make sense to me.

[stephenj]

hell be replace in 12 months? but mr smith will have him fielding lots of high balls in the off season, sammy is a man of courage, honour and integrity and can be relied upon to give his all!

Most wingers do want to play in the centres. Centres get bigger pay packets than wingers.

[fletch]

don't rule out the club giving Mini one more year, there are some significant salary cap discounts for long serving players to be introduced and as he is virtually the only player that qualify's for the maximum discount at our club, management might take advantage of the salary cap changes and give him a farewell year.

He is the best option we have at fullback.

I think ferguson and linnett would complement each other perfectly down the left edge - both tall and athletic players however linnett is more lean, agile and is quicker than ferguson whereas ferguson is more powerful and destructive. Only problem i have with this backline is that although id have perrett at fullback i dont think he has the all round game to play there permanently and everyone else in the backline is young so who would you replace once the likes of blair, moeakiola, towers, kherrilah are good to go? Thats why i think we should not get ferguson and keep mini or graham so that when they retire we can at least give our own youngsters a shot. then if they happen to be crap we can sign others but atm, some of our young outside backs have shown some amazing potential and id hate for that to go to waste....

I would not be surprised to see Ferguson groomed into a fullback at our club..I reckon he can more than handle it.

He has the size and the pace,he can catch a high ball also..
It wont surprise me at all if that happens,hence why the interest in Dugan died down.

Roz, i would say that Ferguson has Linnet beaten in pace.

Ferguson is a great RAW player as he got 0 development at the Sharks. With proper coaching, the world is at this young blokes feet.
