Keep your mitts off

Certainly seems to be loving his time here , always across at the end of the games to see the fans for pics etc would be great if we can tie him down to a longer contract

You gotta love the enthusiasm he brings to the side .

5 games in and I can say that I like him a lot. I don't know what his best position is, but I don't think that matters, you just need him to be on the field somewhere. Bags of energy and enthusiasm, decent turn of pace, strong, and pretty skillful to boot. Always up there leading the kick chases, always looking to get out of marker and make back to back tackles. You can see it's infectious on the rest of the team. He reminds me a bit of Tommy Leuluai in defence, in that he's not the biggest but he tries to bend his back and really hit above his size. I think he's going to be a huge asset as he gets more time and experience under his belt.

Sounds like the are talking about his new contract and BH sounds pretty confident.

Just looking at yesterday's stats joey had 1 carry and made 5 metres all game. Surely it's time to get him in at number 9 and spell him with Houghton

I think he is a stop gap halfback, but not a long term solution, think it's time to start playing him at hooker. Although we don't have a lot of options at halfback at the moment.

yes we do do
You move Connor back to halfback and play Shaul at full back

Who is the other halfback?

Still don't think Shaul has the passing skills to play there.

I think gale McNamara lovaduo Reynolds Houghton and Carlos would have to be missing before BH thinks of putting Connor at 6

I'd gladly but Connor at 6, but for that to happen we need a better FB than Shaul IMO.

How about Lovodua at FB?

After his performance last night I wouldn’t be unhappy to see Shaul given another go at full back. He did use to be a good player there and he showed some of those elements last night.

I know we have been critical of his passing in the past but with 2 creative half backs we can overcome that to some degree.

I think the major problem came because he was too comfortable getting picked every week and stopped doing the things he was good at? (support play, little kick throughs)

But if he can continue to show the enthusiasm and desire he did last night he would be a dangerous weapon for us.

The reason why lovodua hasn’t been given much of a chance at hooker is maybe down to his defence . He’s missed at least 2 one on ones which has resulted in tries . Some people just look at a players attacking game and not his overall, game . Defence wins and loses matches as well .
