WatchIng the Toyota Cub game against Wests, I noticed that although he has lightning foot work & speed off the mark. The Fijian flyer from wests gave him a cold he ran so far away when RTS was chasing him. Did anyone else notice that?

koroibete is very quick. He was running onto the ball and had about 5 metres on RTS. Plus Roger had to stop and turn to chase! When you have footwork like RTS you don't need blistering speed! -
Coz the Fullback we have at the moment is lightning, The guys a footballer he'll kill itOriginally posted by Showsh View PostComment

Rts
Granted RTS is not a speed merchant himself, but his footwork and handling, will hopefully more then make up for that, by putting fast players either side of him, away for clear runs to the tryline. Those players hopefully being Tupou and Oldfield, and Mini either retired or at Newtown, for injury back up requirements etc. I am so disappointed he hasent put the team first, and torn up his contract, surely he has enough brains to know first grade has passed him by now.Comment

RTS will be an exceptional first grader. There is just something about him. Not his footwork. Not his acceleration. Not his anticipation. Just something in his DNA. He is a born winner. I think we will be talking about both RTS and Kane Evans in the same breath as the likes of Freddy, Fitzy and Ricko once there careers come to an end.Comment

I like him learning the game from fullback but I do think he will be a skillful number 6. He appears to be very strong as well.Comment

Lockyer wasn't that quick.Comment

He is a gifted footballer, but more importantly he is a thinker he has that football brain that all the really good players have its been on display in the last couple of nyc games.He will play 5/8 in the future and i reckon he will be one of the really good ones hopefully in the RWB.Comment

Lockyer was absolutely lightning quick when he was young I remember him one game at SFS in 99 Chssing down a flying Robert Myles when it appeared nobody would get near himOriginally posted by BlindFreddy View Post
I also remeber him running about 80 metres in a test match in England in 04 with nobody getting close to him
Sure he slowed down late in his career But when he was young he Lockyer was an absolute flyerI respect all our moderators here. Past present and even future. Always have done and always will do a wonderful job.Comment

I wouldn't have called him absolutely lightning.Originally posted by Andrew Walker View Post
His strength lay in his ball playing and reading of the game.Comment

Out of interest How old are you ?Originally posted by BlindFreddy View Post
In his early days Lockyer in the clear was pretty much shut the gate
I still to this day cannot believe he chased Myles down in that match in 99
Make mo mistake Lockyer was a flyer in his early days People seem to forget or may even be unaware He made is 1st grade debut in 1995Last edited by Andrew Walker; 09-25-2012, 09:36 AM.I respect all our moderators here.

Old enough to remember Lockyer's early days.Originally posted by Andrew Walker View Post
I'm not saying he wasn't quick, I just don't remember him as being a fullback who would burn people with speed. He had other, more important cards up his sleeve. Maybe I'm wrong.
But all of that is irrelevant - the point I'm making is that Sheck doesn't need to be a sprinter to be a good fullback. I reckon we can agree there.Comment
