General Pick Your Team 2016 Rnd 8 - Storm vs Warriors

[kbazi]

Forget about Henare Slater. The hype on him at the moment is ridiculous. Plays no better at fullback than David Fusitua but has the frame of Sam Tomkins. No thanks...

Finally someone on the same page. Majority of the forum members giving him the call up based on a 2013 Newtown Jets "best of" video. If someone made a "best of" of my U16's club footy I'm sure you could string together enough footage for me to look great too.

He needs time to build in RG and then for him to come onto the wings for us, and in time, could be a great depth option (2017/18) era. He's not even depth for us right now for FB.

It goes

1. Sheck
2. Tui
3. Fusitua/Wright
4. Wells/Kata/Allwood
5. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad
6. Lillyman

Anyway! Team will be named shortly so everyone can get over this whole bring Wells in debate.

Alot of good posts this week, everyone has there opinion and it makes some good reading, imo they should give Wells a shot at FB, he needs some experience in FG its a great opportunity for him to show what hes got, leave lolohea in the halves he probably should have started season there imo. TL is just coming back from a blown knee also, abit of a risk putting him in halves, if he goes down again we back to square one in halve combos. Hes better coming off bench. Less disruption to the team this way if you bring in someone to fill FB, we need some consistency in team selections.

Yes,I agree, Get Wells into the mix.Give him some experience in first grade.What happens when Thomas goes down with injury. Don't say we are going to go back to Robson.
