JYY was fairly puss apparently. Not expecting miracles and I'm hoping he turns it around but I'm not hopeful.
Heaps burnt from Belmore today. Souths got up 28-20. Perrett started at FB which is probably a sign for R1. Low also spent some time back there.
Don't count Thompson out of the mix bro. He's been training a lot there and will get a good run the next couple of weeks. He's a gun.
Thompson is the Tigers fullback in these highlights: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf-_IePWQfg Couple of pretty awesome looking kick returns.
Played with him all my life, a good mate of mine, the dude has some serious skills. He was killing it in NSW cup last season when he was signed but broke his hand. With the pre-season under his belt he's developed immensely. If he's not your fullback Round 1, he will be at some point.
Yeh the rumours all pre-season have been that he'd get the nod ahead of Inu. Although apparently he played pretty shit in the trial.
I never said he did, he was just the logical favourite amongst most given he's played fullback in the past. Rumour was Perrett would get first crack and looks like that's true.
I rate Perrett a lot more highly than some do; I think he's a bloody good winger. However, he shouldn't be playing fullback IMO. Inu is pus but I'd sooner pick him over Morris and Perrett, even if it simply meant getting the cunt out of front line defending.
Yeah he played in the centres all game. He'll get his crack though. Not sure about the 9's, he said they haven't really discussed it. I'd be betting on him playing in the 9's, he's played rugby 7's before.
