Blake to fullback?

Tall, fast and good in the air. He has improved more than any other player these past 4-6 weeks. Is he an X Factor in the making?  Maybe Gutho into centre?  Sivo and Dunster wing.

  • I have called Haze Dumpster to be fullback after a full year on the wing, potentially 2023.

    Your call is equally a good one and is applying the same parrallel logic. I think Guth holds at fullback for another year, but it is not inconceivable that Waqa and Haze are drilled in the role with the potential of a Gutho injury.

    With our three quarters being sorted out, you might find that Gutho gets more room to be the attacking fullback you crave. 

    I think he has carried injuries for the past few months and this has effected him. Capable replacements will give him more time to recuperate next season.

    • Yes, I would agree with that. 

  • Blake has some great attributes but to be a FB you need to be a playmaker too. He's not that. 

  • No. He can't pass well enough to be an elite centre. No point trying to get him to be a fullback. 

  • Our new xfactor signing to fullback, it really is required, if we are to go further.

    Gutho played his heart out and i'd always find a position for him in our team, however he dosnt create the chances required to win a premiership. Last night there was an incident where he passed to the centre in an attacking raid in our half, but if he had of looked a cut out pass " which was more then doable" to the winger would of seen no one in front of Dunster, and an open run to the line. Penrith were caught infield, it was only minor but it was huge. And i won't mention his forward pass for our second try being called back.  Ohhhhhhhhh what could of been.
