"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…"

"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.

"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. "
"I'm sure there's plenty on here with contacts in Parramatta jail, and even more in the psychiatric ward "

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…

Mick and Peter Mortimer sat directly behind me at the 09 grand final, absolutely top shelf bloke, they were both very pleasant and quite happy to chat.
This man "THE CROW" is my all time fav EEL. When I played rep league as a youngster I tried to mould my gam and goal kicking around him
Very classy player and man 👏🏻👏🏻👊😎
Theres the carlo kiss of death right there.
Mick, please be safe in the next few days/weeks.
😆😆😆 far out lol
Bit overrated though, wouldnt want him kicking a goal to save your life.
Wouldnt want him coaching to save your life either
For his day he was a great kicker, toe bashing leather balls off sand isn't easy.
As a centre he was defensively flawless and was impossible to put on the ground when carrying the ball.
i was just throwing out a few crumbs HKF, looking for a nibble
Nice one Garry, good to see you got out ok, rumoured to be a few bodies buried under the Gerringong.
Your opionion mate. To be honest It was mentioned by the rep coach back in 84 when I played school rep footy that I played a bit similar to the crow. My all time fav and always will be
