Or blood Abbey like numerous people in the thread are calling for. He can't win.

Ive liked what Ive seen of Abbey. He isnt a top draw player, but looks a better than handy replacement. Pity he was knocked out cold last night.

Im also not a Cotric to FB person. Id rather we punt BJ and move Nick there.

Abbey looks like if he gets a bit of confidence he'll go pretty well.

I agree.
Not sure if id go as far as to say he is NRL standard. But i think he is better than NSW Cup

He looks safe under the high ball. He's chimed in well in backline sweeps but is not a threatening ball runner from what I've seen.

Yes. I think that's what's annoying people, to be honest.

After watching Mounties yesty, how on earth did Gubb get games before Royce Hunt?

Abbey is just average. What we’ve seen is the best he’s got. And when you’ve got a guy leading the comp in line breaks, scoring tries for fun and is his best position it makes no sense... you put your best players in their best positions, simple as that

I agree with that.

However, I believe you are alluding to Cotric, and I dont believe FB is/ will be Cotric's best position in FG. The top FBs ball play. Cotric has never been that kind of player/ FB. I really think centre is his go. He is far more BJ than he is Ponga.

Id go with that, depending on what BJ is on, great try at the end but he costs us too often with his tough guy approach.

Cotric would be brilliant in the centres, id imagine he takes more runs now than BJ and a much better team player.
Id like to see Rapa at FB, Oldfield has done well and hes a big body.

I saw plenty of good ball playing in his 1 game there. He’s no ponga but he’ll be in the halves sooner rather than later so I don’t think it’s fair to compare them. Cotric is an all round footy player and will be our best pretty soon. Maybe you didn’t see much ball playing in the juniors because he’d just beat them solo... He needs to be able to roam and he’s got the skills to play wherever he wants

Hunt let's a few in based on the games I've watched. Maktoa as well. Having said that I would pick both ahead of Gubb.

O’Hagan is in the plans....

Not too sure but he’s got a development contract on the table and is apparently negotiating a full time contract

If O’Hagan gets the same opportunity as Cornish whether we hold onto him or not is entirely on his own playing ability.

I thought this thread would have more appreciation for EDIT.

Whos O'hagan? Apologies for not knowing but with three kids all under 5 i dont get time to watch many games apart from when the raiders play

He's one of the guys from Mounties 20s

Came from the Knights, part of the Country 23s side that did really well last year

Big wraps on him

What position?

He was supposed to play NSW Cup on the weekend but got called into the NSW 20s team

6/7

Well i look forward to sticky giving him 3 games next year then dumping him and watching him fade away like every other young half under rickys coaching

Probably play him at hooker.

Off the bench and maybe a bit of time on the wing as well
