new fullback

[duke street 10]

Maybe the club should hold open "X Factor" style auditions for the full back position :-"

[lurcher]

its gouldings gig, if he wants it.

Kheirallah may have played for France but he's an Aussie. Same as Hanbury, Locke and Mead. We still don't have any quota space.

There's players we could get rid of . At least 3 of those spots are players who won't even play barring injuries , I'm sure if a cheap fullback came up we could negotiate something and get rid of Hitchcox if need be .

I wonder how long David Mead will be happy at Catalan....
Grix too old and makes basic errors (see the Robert Lui try last week)
Eden hasn't the authority or brain
Clare - see Eden!
Escare possibly Wigan are also offloading FPN so space on the money front
O'brien an option.... But average
Evalds.... Possible
Locke.....out of the frying pan into the fire....

Fullback is such an integral part of modern rugby and a spine position. Not somewhere where you put square pegs in round holes.

mead 3 year deal, no chance.
o'brien and evalds both have long term contracts.

we can all pick names out of the hat but I think we all know we aren't Warrington who can buy anyone out of a contract!

Won’t matter a chuff with regards to the Salford boys .. they won’t last the season, clubs a gonner... get Evalds or O’Brien in, Dalford would be probably happy to offload em

We are back to the Luke Dorn type fullback with Roberts, can attack but can't defend.

Have you ever seen Roberts play? What a ridiculous comment!

Agree.roberts was/has never been a safe pair of hands at stand off so he isn’t going to be at full back.

[InTheKnow]

Roberts can defend though. Just can't catch a ball.

I'm thinking the same regarding salford mate, only a matter of time.

Only a small problem then playing FB

[gateman]

every time i mention young Turner being given a go i get shot at from all sides , its obvious the Daryl does not think the lad is ready but Leeds were the same with Walker till their hand was forced, Turner is the current England under 19 full back , last week V London he managed three try's, and before you start i have not even spoke to the lad never mind being a relation

More chance of Tina Turner getting a game.

Exactly.
Pros-Agressive tackler. Good side step/elusive runner. Strong/tackle busts/line breaks. Can have that x factor on occasions.

Cons-Poor positionally. Suspect fielding high balls/grubber kicks. Fitness dubious/joining line/link up play struggles because of this. Inconsistent form/goes missing. Decision making wayward. Inconsistent kicking game.
