Quote ="The Jolly Ginger Giant"Yeah I did see both of them but he is better off being left were he is so he can pick and choose the time to come in and do them things. It gives us more options with him at full back'"

Lockers,

Phelps.
These four give us options. Put phelps at 6 and one is left out as the replacement fullback then cannot chime into the line as well.
Its the best attacking option we have had for a long time, lets not balls it up, as with the two centres, and the options in the back row. I really only think we a prop away before fielden leaves!'"
Evidently I wasn't clear with what I posted. I can see characteristics in his game of a stand off and subsequently I can see why the Aussies rated Phelps as a stand off and why he earned International and Origin rep games at U19's playing at stand off but I do agree with all of you that he should be kept as a fullback for the reasons you mention. He is the best fullback at the club at the moment, gets better each week and is a brilliant attacking threat close to the line.
