Well Trueman for a start.
He's our fullback which is a vital position.

Of course he can cover but that's not how we are planning to build the team.

True man is more a SH imo.

Max is hardly covering anymore, that’s very disrespectful! He’s a genuine now. For heavens sake players aren’t born with a brand saying FB only. Are you doing the same job you were at 17? Actually you probably are.

The point is that Max can easily cover and be effective and you know it.

And my point is he is our fullback.
Doesn't matter where else he can play, if you move him you are losing something.

And his experience at 6 is with a losing team and a championship team.

Name me 12 creative stand offs in SL who are better than Max. I think you are grossly underestimating him.

Remember he’s starring at 6 usually without a recognised scrum half. Imo Max would be a star at 6 even in SL. He basically plays FB like a 6.

Pongia and a lot of NRL players do both FB and 6 and they tend to be years ahead of us. Not suggesting Max is that level but neither is SL. Sorry Ketty but the games changed and you can’t typecast players anymore. I think you going to see players change positions more and more, especially in this role where FB and 6 have become very similar positions relatively speaking.

I grossly underestimate no one I just have my own options on players and for me I never got to see him have a run in super league at half back only fullback where he looked at ease in that position.According to Phil Gould fullback is the most important position on the field nowadays , so yes the game has changed and max at fullback is in the perfect position imo to exploit this new era

I don’t know anyone in the know so to me it’s not confirmed or even an option until it’s announced.

He's definitely signed.

I wouldn't take Vasty too seriously, he once said he thought Chris Annakin would make a good centre

One of Kay/Hood? Neither were announced to be leaving and I haven’t seen any contract extensions for them yet.

Kay signed for 2 years in 2023. I'm sure Hood's doing another year as well.

Nah, just signings are usually released on Fridays and not Tuesdays. Rourke or Russell perhaps
