Agreed, when he played on the wing at cas he was exposed massively with the high balls.

Max played a lot of his junior rugby at centre, could be the option to move Reece out to the wing if needs be, we have plenty of players that are able to cover centre. Hoping tupou is not serious, looking at been without tom for a while which is a real shame but has shown the mental toughness to come back from a horrific Injury this season and come back even strong which is massive, hopefully not as bad as it looked.

Doctor vastman

Can't wait to watch this one on Trinity TV. Great win. Well done lads

Why not? We have a number of options which are better for the team re the wing, why would we move a player that has finally seemed to find a settled position and made it his own which he has struggled with all his career.

Thought he was fantastic tonight on the link play.

High balls ! He's been playing fullback

Fantastic win and what a second half! Very happy

I'm kinda with you on that.
Fullback is not a forced change, the less fannying about the better, I wouldn't even want move Tupou to cover TJ, though it is a much smaller shift than pulling your FB out.
Nobody in the league has a replacement for TJ, but it is forced, the FB move isn't.

Yeah because they are directly challenged every time the high balls goes up like they are on the wing when a kick goes up aren't they ?

Hilarious.

Surely you hope I am in this case?

Not hilarious......I agree with you......

.....Obviously for what it's worth.........

Speedy recovery TJ and Bill.

Great win for us that. With a narrow lead and seeing Bill go off, would have been happy just to come away with the points, but to score further tries, a big well done.

Hopefully both injuries not to bad, and not out for too long. Arundel, and probably Jowitt to come in, or is there any young winger coming through.

Alternatively, If were looking at about 6 weeks, If theres anyone decent available, and the price is right, a loan signing perhaps?

Fantastic win against inform hull ,it’s certainly never a dull moment being a wakey fan and nice to see Pauli taking half the hull team with him over the line .
Even with major disruptions to the team we stuck to our guns and came away with a memorable win

Excellent win boys...listened in on rhubarb radio and was seriously worried at half time but Chessie's half time talk clearly settled the team and to shut them out in the second half was clearly a superb effort




Finger's crossed for Tom and Bill

I get the original point though.
At fullback you need to take a high ball but most are not challenged in the air.
On the wing every high ball is challenged and a winger who is not tall in often under pressure.

If you read what I said it was on the assumption Topou is also out in which car you’d have to bring in Arundel and Jowitt. The poster suggested Jowitt on the wing and Hamplre at FB. I think it would be better the other way around.

I don’t agree that we do have a lot of options tbh.

I can see that point but not every winger is 6 feet tall surely its about positioning
And timing.

so did I......
Must be my (lost on people) sense of humour.....

When Broughy puts a high ball up to a fullback its alot different to a floated kick he puts to his winger!

What’s MCB up to?

Onion

Well, that was just classic Trin. On the winger note, hope Johnstone isn't out for too long or Tupou for that matter, find it a bit odd that our two main threats on the same side get injured in the same game.

Joe Arundel and Max Jowitt in for me if both TJ and BT are out for a while, maybe Lee Kershaw?

Also in my opinion it's now Crowther's shirt to lose in the 13 the kid has never had a bad game for us.

Why don't we bring back Ben Reynolds he has played - centre, wing & full back, he is our player !
