"He looks bigger than Twidle to me. Taller anyway.  His contact will improve as he gets stronger and he can use his mobility to find his place at 6.  Coaches can challenge a players defence easier than teaching that natural flair in attack.  "

"1. Ponga
6. Sharpe
7. Brown
9. Smith
That's what the Knights want to do with their spine,  not sure if that's good enough for a premiership but it will get them playing finals"

"Then again EA, it is on the club and himself to decide what path to approach. If he and the club feel 6 can work, then work with him. He either improves enough where he gets game time or he doesn't and goes back to Fullback and hopes for an opening.…"

"What about miller and nunn?"

"As i said, no harm him doing it in Flegg."

"I don't rate him at 6 because he doesn't know how to defend in the front line. His reads are horrible. He defends with his feet planted against shape which leaves his centre in two minds on whether Bamblett will get to his player or not. His contact…"

"Well he can't even defend well in the front line against u19s sg ball so not sure how he can against JF"

"I am quiet confident Bamblett will move to fullback when Fletcher returns. Moujali and Fletcher will probably be the halves. "

"Yeah, no harm doing so in Flegg. Particularly defending in front line against players 2-3 years older."

"Though there must be something there is they are playing him at 6."

"I agree. Bamblett might be better at 1 but the opportunity in our NRL side is at 6. He might as well get as many reps there as he can."

"Why don't you rate him at 6. Its better we try him at 6 as you don't want to pidgin hole him to 1, then he leaves because Iongi has the fg spot all tied up.
Having him at 6 is a good move"

"I don't rate Bamblett at 6 at all!! Drives my head in that he is playing 6. He is an out an out fullback to me. He had good moments during the game, but it were plays you expect from a fullback "

"I think it's a great extension for the Knights purely for the fact  that there is so little elite talent in the nrl and you'd rather have him than let him 1 leave the code or 2 play elsewhere.
All they need to fo us on now is finding a couple more…"

"He will play 6"
