Lachlan Coote

I see Penrith are trying to secure Lachlan Coote. He is contacted till 2011

 

I think its quite obvioius that Hayne will eventually move into the 5/8th role. Should we be looking at signing a quality fullback such as Coote in order to move Hayne to 5/8 quicker?

 

If not Coote, then which other fullback? I think we are in an era where some of the greatest fullbacks are being produced

 

I think Hayne has terrific vision and i think he has the presence to definately guide the team around the park hence why i think we will eventually become a great 5/8. I don't think he'll be shy at barking instructions to the forwards (something some of our younger halves might have an issue with)

 

I would love to see Quade Cooper at the Eels but i don't see it happening. I don't see any other NRL releaing qualtiy halfbacks

  • No I don't think so , he would demand alot of $ and I think IF hanyne did move to 5/8 then we have a pretty promising player in Tom humble who can play fullback!!!
  • I think it should be the other way around Humble at 5/8 and Hayne at Fullback
  • Why does Hayne need to move to 5/8 for. If he ever did. Oppositions would run at him all day, also i think at the 5/8 position he feels that he has to set up every play whereas when he plays FB he can select when he runs and passes
  • He is a perfect 6 and if anybody can not see that they need their eyes checked.

    Whats the issue with people running at him all day as if they would!!!! The guy is 102kg's and can tackle so he is not a liability. His liability at the back is due to positional play not because he is soft.

    Carney is killing it at 6 right now, are you saying Hayne isn't as good as Carney?

    Excellent blog Fiddy, i would love to see;

    1. Coote
    6. Hayne
    7. Morts or Humble
    9. Mitchell

    That spine would be special.

    I would do this in a heartbeat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • If you were going for a fullback why not get Nathan Gardner back where he belongs, in the Blue and Gold.
  • Compared to Coote? Not even a close comparison.
  • Adam but waste the $ on coote when humble can play there? And I think this kid is gonna be something special..Wouldn't u put ur money into a specialist halfback?cause that's what we are lacking creativity in the halves!!!!!
    • Sorry I meant why waste $
    • Are you saying Humble is as good as Coote? Please...............I agree a specialist half should be our priority but if we can't sign Quade we need to pull the trigger and put Hayne at 6. Why don't you have confidence him running the show at 6? The guy was our 1,6 and 7 most of the time this year. He will have no issue running the team from there, what we need to do is surround him with try scoring machines like Coote and let Hayne create.

      P.s - There are no halves left!!!! And we put our faith into Morts so.
      • No I'm not saying humble is better than coote!! Humble has only played a couple of first grade games , and from what I've seen the kid is a future 1st grade fullback or even 5/8..and coote is not off contract until the end 2011.. I'm sure there would be few options to sign a halkback between now and the end of next year...I'm just saying we should be looking at a half instead of a fullback seeing as we have fullback covered!!
