Yeah I think we are, would certainly make more sense to have him on dual reg than a full blown loan deal.

Shannon has to be fullback while he's with us. For as much as it never looks like he does a real lot the stats show that he does.

Jamie Shauls time will come.

I would put Shannon on the wing , he played there a lot for Newcastle Knights.

A lot of this has to come down to preseason. They've both staked good claims for the spot and we know that both can perform.

However, with Briscoe pretty much confirmed to be leaving, I would be quite tempted to play McDonnell on the Wing and Shaul at fullback as I think that that is the strongest overall combination.

Jamie Shaul would be my fullback, McDonnell could play on the wing where his weak defence wouldn't be as exposed.

Shaul for me was one of the standout players for me in your team Saturday, looked like a player who could create something out of nothing with his good balance mixed with his speed.

We need to give him a 5 year deal and play him at fullback

Did he indeed? Food for thought as I think as Shaul will be our fullback for years to come, I hope, he should remain and develop there. He's already got the confidence and the cool head under pressure, just needs experience.

McDonnell may not be fit for te start of next season, so Shaul will get a continued run.

Here's a radical idea, why not pick who is fit and in form?

Also there's no reason why they both can't be accommodated in the same team. They could even switch between full back and winger during the game, something else which isn't exactly a new ploy.

at least we have 2 brill fullbacks

I'd play Shaul on the wing, McDonnell full back myself.
