He is not the problem.
Feno would be in our top 3-5 players. So you would change at least 20 before looking in his direction.

I dont know any of you guys but I am now certain that IronRaiden is actually Josh McCrone, trying to focus on any other Raiders player to take the attention away from himself. Honestly, we could improve at least a dozen of the top 25 before scrutinising Fensom. He is not the problem. For the past f...

Re: Power rankings
No one has ever called Fensom an 'explosive' or 'flamboyant' or 'entertainer' type player. He is a workhorse. Does the dirty work, does it for 80 mins and doesn't make mistakes while doing it. That doesn't make him 1D either.

Re: Power rankings
Yes Fensom is a defensive workhorse and an effective one, but that's all he is and in the modern game you need more from starting players than his one dimensional game. Try watching him, he has a good offload, makes 100m a game, regularly leads the league in decoy runs. Check out his stats in the r...

Re: The 2015 Greenhouse Team: Wingers
I'm not even sure where I stand on this at the moment. Lee and Waqa are undoubtedly our best two wingers, but whether Edrick is better used at centre I'm not sure. Then I'm not sure if I want the safety f Hawkins, the potential upside of Brenko or the genuine wing option of Rapana. Its a quandary!?...

Re: Power rankings
Fensom has always had one major issue in his game that is he has a very limited attacking game in him probably due to the amount of tackles he makes a game, if had more of an attacking game he would be playing for nsw by now. He averaged a tick under 100m, a tick under 45 tackles, just over 1 offlo...

Well they have him at 7th which is slightly above average. but to be fair lock is kind of like fullback, you tend to put your best backrower there. Fullback you put your best outside back there. Does that mean Papa will be lower than 7? Given that he is an international and QLD rep, surely he will ...

Edrick needs the kind of season coming up that Wighton had this year to lay a platform for future achievements. We need him to play 20-plus games. First choice wingers? Waqa and Hawkins for mine. Edrick is better than both but I've got him in the centres. Based on two viewings, Hawkins makes very g...

4/10 for this year but agree with the sentiment that he has a very big future. To have Waqa, Croker, E. Lee, B.
