Was waiting for someone to say Nicho to fullback.

It’s a big NO from me
But coach has tried it once before…

He played a whole year at FB for Melbourne a few years back, he didn't do too badly there. If he can fix his high ball issue then I don't think he'd be bad.

Bummed for the kid. He was getting in those reps to be an actual first grader. Hoping he doesn’t go down the same path as Gagan.

As far as Miller being released, I’m not too fussed. Miller has been in our/NRL systems for a year now. Besides his speed and agility, he’s no different to someone stepping up from the juniors. The difference between Kennedy and Miller/Dykes is night and day. I reckon we could get similar output with Iro at fullback if Kennedy goes down (fingers crossed he doesn’t)

I’m just gutted for Dykes more than anything. An injury like that when you’re on the verge of a break out season, plus on your birthday to tops things off would just rattle you mentally.

Not ideal for us but Iro, Ronnie, Tracey can all cover back there. Not a fan of moving our halves combo. We just need Kennedy being fit for over 90% of the season now

That timing is just ****ing outrageous. Absolutely crushed for the kid as it was definitely shaping up as a breakout year for him. No point trying to rush him back, just get him right and bulked up for next pre-season.

Probably got more faith Adam will keep him on track doing rehab right than I do a lot of players will do the best rehab possible

Pretty inconsiderate to do an ACL right after we literally just let our next best FB leave a few hours prior!

in all seriousness, hope it isn’t as bad as first thought and he gets through rehab in good shape (even if it is 12 months from now)

Bitter pill for the young guy to swallow, but with good people around him it’s not all doom and gloom, still got a career ahead of him. After millers last couple games with us not sure we are losing much wait till he lets a couple of bombs hit the deck and see how newy fans react.

People thought Gardner and Dufty were good at first, Miller will be similar.

Gotta be Iro if he can play FB. He’s 22, so old enough, NSW cup player of the year. Hopefully WK stays fit.
