  This week, Norman, no doubt. He's played a lot in the position and in attack he plays in the halves anyway.

    Hi SSE
    Agree no doubt this week
    Was thinking about the rest of the year
    Norman is doing great as FB
    But I prefer him as half - although we have won with him as fullback I think he was contributing more as half in attack. Maybe we need his leadership from the back to close out games.

  i honestly doubt that De Gois will get a run again this year. Once Peats comes back i would give Nelson a crack on the bench.

    Nelson is second tier. If de Gois is fit, we can't pick Nelson.

  Norman will retain his fb position, hoppa as we saw at the start of the year is a shyte fullback & I think BA should keep the same team except for seffa obviously with Ma'u back and Faraimo. Though heard some rumours that IDG is fit and if so expect him to go hooker and Nelson to go second row for Tepai who is still recovering from an shoulder injury, but if Tepai is ok I would put Cody on the bench as a utility with wicks, Gower and Pauli so maybe Lussick might drop out of the team.

    Don't think Nelson can play anywhere if De Gois is fit
    He can only be used if we have no hooker - as Above

  But he was playing in the halves in attack anyway. BA said that in the press conference. Watching the game, it seemed like Sandow was playing out the back a little more, allowing Kelly and Norman to control the middle. Then in defence he moved to fullback.

  I think BA will keep CN at FB mostly for his organisational skills in defence and then move him up in attack to help coordinate the attacking plays. 

  His defence looks vulnerable as shown in the Sterlo Mic'd up video and he hasn't been really tested under the high ball as yet so these risks are worth taking given the positives he has brought to the position.It would b a big mistake to shift Hoppa or Robinson back to FB as these two experiments failed.

   

  Personally I think IDG should be kept on the injured list to at least after the Bye to give the team some stability and then as him back after that.

   

  Go the Eels.

  Still reckon we need Norman back in the halves. Even if it means Hoppa at fullback.
