out of interest how many times have you seen Naughton play?? How do you know he would be a better option than Rankin at full back? Your opinion of course..I'd keep Rankin for sure, love the guys passion!

The same Jamie Shaul who signed a five year contract a matter of months ago?

If its true, which I very much doubt, he would command a huge fee.

Agree 100% with you there

Naughton is a educated punt. Nothing to do with shaul moving as far as I know. Naughton became available. Cheap. Real potential to be something special.
One of our coaching staff described him as a 'freak' said he's unbelievably strong. Also put out impressive sprint times &the fact he's played England through the youth ages. Played reserve grade at one of the big nrl teams, from what I've heard read n seen I've got a good feeling for him!

Rankin was a young lad who didn't really have an off season.
Now he's settled n will get an off season I'd like to think he can do good things for us.
I'd use a bench spot on him. Could change the tempo of a game. How he's used is yet to be seen tho.
