Fullback discussions in the wake of the Nathan Gardner knee injury

The one good thing about wright is that he does run the ball back hard

To me mate that's the only thing he offers here - his position in defence I believe will be worse than Gards, he has no pace & it's just not his position.

I'm not bagging him - I hope he does well, but he'd be better at centre if you were looking for a home for him...

Yeah I tend to agree bb

what do we do in round 8 and 9 if wright and/or williams get injured?

tell them to harden the **** up. Luke Douglas played in the front row for ****ing ages without needing a day off and all they're doing is trotting up and down the sideline

We should be more worried if the pom gets hurt he is our best back

 

[josh11223344]

Maybe we should of moved pom there and put wright at centre! Thoughts???
lol, **** that!

 

[sharks2010]

Nah Pom has to be in the front line for the pomslams

Got it sussed now - Gallen to fb, gards to prop (who cares about his knee) - graham to ref & I'll be the video ref...

What could go wrong?

The injury to Gardaner worrys me more due to the fact we let Albert Kelly go as well. Kelly could have played fullback if needed (yes we all know he had a **** game there), but with some training in the position could have been a good spark at the back. Otherwise we could have played him at 5/8 and moved Carney to full back for a couple games. Our depth in the halves and outside backs has been significantly stretched IMO and a mid season utility would come in very handy. For next year we definetly need another hooker, half and wing/fullback
