I bet you RTS does not last at FB. I will put a wager on it.

Will you give up your oral virginity if you're wrong?

[Rooster_6]

Only 1 of those 4 have proved themselves. Barber or Milford will not play FB long term & I honestly see Moylan moving up to play 5/8.
I don't think you need a Greg Inglis size FB even though in todays footy I think his size is best suited to FB but IMO you have to have a FB the size of Brett Stuart or bigger. Fullbacks have to be powerful runners (Karmichael Hunt was the best Ive seen)not Fred Astaire movers.

You don't think Milford & Moylan proved themselves as fullbacks this year... seriously? With a straight face?

Barber & Milford have only been good for 1 year & neither IMO will play FB regularly so again IMO they have not proved themselves. Moylan on the other hand is a great prospect who really does remind me of a Darren Lockyer but will play 2nd fiddle to GI so really wont get a crack at the top Aussie team unless GI is injured.
Did he have a good season with Penrith? Yes.
Is he a quality player? Yes but has he proven himself like Slatter? No.
None of them have so back to my original comment "Only 1 of those 4 have proved themselves" is true.

There are some seriously out-there trippers on the cPen.

Someone on another thread just suggested that Easts should sue the Sheaf nose-punch victim. Others are latching on to PIM's Weidler thing. Now you need to be built like Inglis to play fb.

Must be a full moon.

Specifically my 'Weidler thing' is based on acquired knowledge and the fact that it's gone quiet. No denials and no reference to the fact that 'doctor' the Rabbitohs brought in was blackballed by the NFL for doping players.

You forgot to mention, that the nrl only suspended the souths players near the end of the season to make sure that they would not be drug tested when their testosterone levels were at there peak. Issac Luke missing the grand final was a small price to pay, compared to missing 2 years for banned substance abuse.

So you have to play 30 tests or Origins as a fullback to prove yourself in your eyes?

You may very well think that, I couldn't possibly comment.

See my sig for details of my silence.

Your sig says nuthin'. Stop trolling.

[Salvatori Grubber]

Ie, it highlights a questionable practice, but says nothing of cover ups etc.

[Johnny.]

Using a drug that was banned from every major sport....very questionable.

[stephenj]

im still asking why burge1 was assessed for concussion 8under the rules, hed admitted to everyone he had a head injury!

Agreed, but the rest of your theory is weak innuendo at best.

None of that proves the point that small players can't succeed at fullback, I'm not actually sure what you're arguing anymore.

Just because Milford isn't going to continue playing at fullback doesn't mean he didn't succeed there and just because Matt Moylan (in his 1st full season, mind) isn't as good as Billy Slater again doesn't prove that he didn't succeed at fullback.
