Yes true, but the club are looking at Hiku next, then Tom ( 20s ) and I am hearing Gutho will end up in the centres. After watching all of them play, I would agree in the order. I would also have Taylor ( 20s) as well but sad he is leaving.EagleFromMay1967 said:Yes have heard the same, but it should not be a question of whether Hiku is best at fullback: For the club it should be a question of "Who Is our Best Fullback" If it is Tom T, Gutho or whoever that is who you select.Harry said:From good authority Hiku I have been told will be the next fullback after Stewart. He is not a forward / Hooker not a tackling machine like Balin or big enough. Hiku excels at fullback all his best games have been from there, I don't think he is tough or big enough as a centre either but at present he is better there than on the wingmaxta said:Unfortunately for Hiku will be 2nd or 3rd string at the back.Harry said:I think part of Hiku deal at Manly was to be the next fullback otherwise what I am hearing he would not have signed up.Fro said:The next long term fullback is a lot younger and has worse hair than Hiku.
Hiku will play centre or as a gap filler.
but you are right in wing is not his spot.
Hiku's main problem is his best asset...versatility.
Not really a specialist winger or fullback though could be a solid centre & in juniors in NZ was a halfback...imo could be a good hooker, but so far from that today, a big call to expect this as an overnight success.
If 2V's selections are based on some sort of loyalty reward rather than form, then the team's goals are 'out of focus'.
