"Iongi has been bought here as a fullback that's where I'd keep him.He's on the right sought of trajectory so I keep that on track.
Cobbo is a talent for sure but I have a suspicion he's to big for the modern day fullback and doesn't have the cardio…"

"How? The kid has never played 6 other than Tonga U18's. Pretty much every good Fullback has skills that can translate to 6, Tedesco looks like it, Pap has those elements too. If you have a good pass on you and can run those are skills needed for a…"

Doorey over Guymer every time."

"As much as I would love to see Cobbo at Parra, I wouldn't be moving Iongi from the fullback role to accommodate him.
Also, if we can get Galvin from next year, I can't see any reason why we wouldn't regardless of who his manager is.

"I'd be sticking with Iongi at FB and Galvin for 5/8. We all know his manager is ruthless, and it's clearly just a ploy to get him it of his final contract year.
I'd have Cobbo on the wing, but I prefer Iongi at FB because of his ball playing ability."

"Galvin loves footy and has similar desire and work ethic to players like Cronk and Cleary.. His work ethic will see him succeed but the price tag is concerning at this stage. He is running out of options so there is no need to pay overs if he…"
"What are you still doing here Bob, aren't you supposed to be looking for that Smith chick at the netball."
"Agree. Can not see him defending in the line at present and some of the passes I have seen him throw do not leave me with much confidence in swift and workable transition into the 6 role.
Each week Ionghi is getting better at the back, needs to work…"

"Exactly. Let the kid figure out NRL first and become a seasoned first grader. Why complicate it further just to try and strengthen a position that is quite frankly the least of our worries. A fullback is more important than a Five-Eighth.
Not saying…"

"Cobbo would not leave Brisbane for anything less than to play Fullback."
"I'll say no to Iongi going to 5/8. He's a fullback and if you're going to put him in the front line, it's going to take a lot of work to change his body shape for the extra defensive work. That's a major commitment to turn him into a 6. He's too…"
"No need to move longi from fullback cobbo can play any position in the backs and better than a couple of our current backs "
"Really? As Jye Gray has the best average being 198 metres. Iongi ranks 25th for average in the NRL with a few of those 25 playing less than 2 games so the average can be way higher.
Bob you will be someone who we would sign Cam Smith in his prime…"

"I like Cobbo, I'm unsure about him as fullback. I like what Longi is doing at fullback so un-willing to move him at this stage.
Two weeks ago we might have been getting Galvin this year and he was taking the Tigers to court for bullying, WTF…"

"We can afford both Cobbo and Galvin and have a couple million left to buy 2 or 3 fowards and let's go win that elusive premiership (what are they waiting for) go for it !!!"
"Must be no good fullbacks in the game than since no player averages that this year. "

Not Eels related, but as a Gold Coast resident, I am now buckled up and locked down for three or four days of what should be one hell of a ride. To all the members here on the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Northern NSW, stay safe. Praying the…

AN ALTERNATIVE TO GALVIN
I'm not a huge fan of Galvin primarily because I think he has big ego and because who his manager is , having your halves both managed by Isaac Moses is a recipe for future disaster and we simply don't have the management who could handle Isaac if…

Great man RIP
Haha Kurupt. Feeling old as I remember that episode like it was last week.
Sad news, i worked with Jack setting up a charity golf day every year for a long time,.
He was a gentleman and did a lot for charity and junior golfers, all the power to him on his next travels.
