The kid looks to me as a good prospect to replace Mini and could be groomed now

The REAL! Spanner, never forgotten. -
Some of his performances on the wing puts question marks against him playing in the back three.
He's so young that he could be anything, has a good stocky build that would help with kick returns, and although he'd need to learn positional play etc (where he was caught out in the GF and prelim) he is young enough to do so.
However, I think he is a better fit in the back-row, but considering the depth in that position Smith might continue to try him out wide.FONK -
Sorry I just can't see BJ as a fullback. His arse is too fat and he is too slow. Wait until he grows up. He may well end up being a keg on legs type of guy. He does not look to be very tall. I think he will end of a backrower.Originally posted by Walshie's 9th Love Child View PostComment

FMD Walshie what games do you watch. No way is BJ a fullback. He aint even a winger. He is a backrower who at a pinch could play in the centres.
Realistically he only played the lats two games on the wing as Graham was injured and Smith would have been reluctant to blood someone with no experienceComment

tbh, I don't think the guys ready yet.. he needs a few more year.. work him further up positions.. but I reckon he'll do good in the future!! stick with mini for nows

BJ is a backrower who can play centre if needed. He was little more than a fill in on the wing.
He aint no long term fullback.

Is English your second or third language Domination? Your fluency seems to fluctuate.Originally posted by D0minati0n View Posttbh, I don't think the guys ready yet.. he needs a few more year.. work him further up positions.. but I reckon he'll do good in the future!! stick with mini for nowsComment

Are you in a bad mood or something? First you have a go at Vasco and now Domination. Odd behaviour methinks.Originally posted by Mad_Rooster_In_Hong Kong View Post"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."

Maybe BJ to centre and try Linnett as mini's replacement. Kane looks like he could develop into a billy slater type FB. Linnett is quite scary with open space in front of him, especially given his speed

Leilua is nowhere near being a long term fullback. The furthest I would have him out in the backline is in the centres. He was only a short term option on the wing. He will eventually end up in the backrow as he gets olderComment

It was actually a real question. I am a linguist. I can tell Domination is a troll as her language is not consistent. She/he has created an online persona but I can tell it is not genuine due to her inconsistent use of lexical items and syntax.Originally posted by TheLoneRooster View Post
In regards to Vasco it is called retaliation.Comment

I don't think Leilua is a fullback or even a winger for that matter. He's a bit too big and slow to really be a fullback and his positional play isn't great either. He also like the collision, which would suggest to me big, hole hitting centre or wide running lock or second rower. His positional play will come with time but the rest of the stuff is a physical and mental feature rather than something based around skill.
I'd personally think about Linnett at fullback, or possibly Towers depending on how he goes in first grade. Either way, we have to start planning for Mini's departure and if he gets injured we need to select our long term heir to Mini's position. Otherwise we need to start scouring the countryside for a good, young fullback.

Unfortunately Towers is of to France next season so we will never get to see him play first grade.Originally posted by chefman21 View PostI don't think Leilua is a fullback or even a winger for that matter.

IMO, Perrett goes better at fullback than on the wing. When Mini retires we'll get a speedster on the winger and Perrett to fullback.Comment
