Who is the worst then?
Who are the two established full backs?

Briscoe - Proven quality
Wellens - Proven quality
Tansey - Lots to prove
Owen - Needs to make the position his own to prove how good he can be
Halley - Lots to prove
Mathers - Looked to be hitting some form for Wigan
Blaymire - When on form, very good, needs to be consistent
Melling - Does a decent job

All IMO of course

prove? regular fullback in the nrl states otherwise, could be an option in 2010, (or did you just say that because he is now a black n white

)

Whats he proven playing FB? Regular FB in the NRL?

Which Blaymire are you watching? He's pretty consistent to me without ever being an international fb

You talking Briscoe?

The comment applies to pretty much every English full back.

There's plenty of reliable full backs but no one who offers a real threat. I'd say Owen is the best of a pretty bad bunch atm.

I agree 100%

Briscoe is the best of what is available, but we don't know what the up and coming players can do.

next year will be a massive year for richie owen,we all saw the potential in rich in the play off game at wigan and that was playing in pain with a bad ankle injury.

im sure most cas fans hope richie gets the nod at full back has he has the potential to be world class,melbourne storm were very keen on signing him two years ago and matterson believed at 17 he was a better player than billy slater at the same age,thats a big billing to live up to and although he will only be 20 it will be his 3rd full super league season and this is the season he needs to establish himself has a first choice fullback.

not when you cant improve the current squad because youre skint,

We hear this sort of thing often though, in the UK players just dont seem to develop to the same ability.
He's got bags of potential though, we'll see

1. Leeds (too strong?)
2. Warrington (Smith's first pre-season)
3. Huddersfield (Consistancy will show through, Brough will help them though)
4. Saints (Lacking a little bit of go forward)
5. Bradford (Orford to be a big hit, lack a bit in the backs though)
6. Wigan (getting better as Tomkins + Co get better)
7. Hull KR
8. Hull FC (Too many injuries to make a real dent, but will ruffle a few feathers)
9. Wakefield
10. Catalan
11. Castleford
12. Harlequins (Going backwards?)
13. Crusaders (Nobby to improve them)
14. Salford

who's injured?

You can predict Hull players will get injured

Do you know something we dont know or do you mean DREW

1. Wigan
2. St.Helens
3. Leeds
4. Catalans
5. Castleford
6. Bradford
7. Hull KR
8. Huddersfield
9. Wakefield
10. Warrington
11. Hull FC
12. Salford
13. Harlequins
14. Crusaders

Totally uneducated, and probably wrong, but just as likely to be correct as you lot, because we never get it right here


WCC: Melbourne
SLGF: Wigan vs Leeds
CCGF: Castleford vs Catalans

Weren't Melling's and Briscoe's stats pretty similar?

I find it more haliarious that they believe in what David Howes says.
