cool, who is our best back since ET?

Vagana before he came here was better than SKD is IMO although I was still quite young so maybe the tries just stood out and made him seem better than he was.

It's arguable either way.

The point was I'd only seen the question about Leutele to Souths here.

Leutele leaving by itself I'm not a fan of but Leutele leaving so we can get SKD I would be over the moon with.

If we have let leutele go that's a mistake for me. On his day hes a gun centre capable of being our best. His coach was missing and he had an off season. I think we should see how he goes this year and make the call.

I agree with you.

Ricky should be a starting centre in 2015, for me he's shown enough in what was a bad year overall, if I remember correctly he also came back from a serious injury. I'm also leaning towards not worrying about SKD although my hatred for him isn't as strong as yours hahaha. You would assume he'd command a fair bit more coin than Ricky therefore leaving us extra money to invest elsewhere.

I'd be more than happy for him and Beale to be locked in as our centres, then see what happens.

Vagana, dude had a superb try scoring record when he came here.

SKD is certainly capable of an error, probably even had more than Michael Gordon last season, who some people on here don't rate. I'd have him, but it's not like I'll be crying myself to sleep if the rumours turn out to be BS again.

incorrect, and has had less errors than Gordon in the last 2 years

i'll give you vagana, the guy still had a gun try scorring record here...

so that is a decade ago

then who?

 

[deano the p]

Michael Gordon is the highest profile back we have signed in ages. SKD is a long way above him and Beale is probably higher than him too.

There is no denying SKD would be our highest profile back in a very long time.

 

[slide rule]

A lot of our centres have been undercover second rowers

Matty Rogers (we didnt sign him) but since ET he's been our best back, did he leave for union before ET retired, I cant remember.

Prior to 2014 season Flash would have had less errors, Flash really made up for lost time in season 2014. Lol.

Skd won't be coming wants to much.

2013 flash had 26 errors, skd had 23

I don't care what flash did at penrith

 

[snowman]

negotiations still ongoing

we are offering him a pay rise in 2016 and 2017, but asking him to play for his roosters contract in 2015

still a drawn out process

 

[Sutty]

Depends the place the stats are coming from I think.


The stats I have are
Gordon = 20, SKD = 25 (2013)
Gordon = 33, SKD = 28 (2014)


That said, I think NRL had both on 27 errors for the 2014 season.

 

[Capital_Shark]

Comparing errors between a fullback and a centre wouldn't give a clear picture unless you compare their touches of the ball. SKD is called upon when the ball goes to the far right corridor in attack (more or less), where as Gordon has a 1 in 3 chance of the footy coming his way at the end of every set in the shape of a kick sent with the intention of causing a fumble, then you add his touches in attack across the paddock.

A fullback probably will have more drops than a centre, but a lot more touches. So SKD should have better numbers.

He should take that, we are being more than accomodating with the above.

Thats surprising, I dont remember Flash for his errors in 2013 whereas thats pretty much most of my memory for him in 2014.

nrl has Gordon 34 and skd 30 this year

probably because we were winning and his mistakes didn't cost us games in 2013
