How many Fullbacks is too many?

Posted by RIDER on July 21, 2014 at 2:17pm

So Bennett is going back to the Broncos. I do feel sorry for Griffin as I dont think he's by any means the worst coach in the NRL.

But, Im assuming Bennett baby Boyd will be tagging along too.

My question is, how are they going to position Barba, Hoffman, Boyd, Milford and Maranta. All play fullback, with 4 having played the position at FG level.

If they play wing etc then someone has to miss out.

On a side note, the Bulldogs cant attract one. :)

    Aus side last year: slater, Boyd, inglis, Hayne and Morris. All have played fullback with 4 on a regular basis. There all great players who can excel in a variety of positions, so it doesn't matter too much

      Not sure these guys can play centre like Morris or Inglis ie size is an issue.

      But will be interested to see what happens.

      Boyd, Hoffman and maranta can play centres. Milford or barba five eight and the other one fullback. Easy. Boyd won't go there any way I reckon he will go to the dogs.

    Grab Maranta for a bargain price !!!

      Maranta is Brett Plowmans son who played for us years ago.

      No to signing him.

      Will be playing for the Redcliff Dolphins next year. Flash in the pan. My favourite was the last week against panthers where he said he was going well and only dropped one bomb in that game. Didn't say that the dropped bomb led to a try and the ponies losing by one point haha.
