Or the club arent that confident that Tansey can get his head down and cut out the ill discipline and want cover, plus TBF I dont think he has been that solid at FB.

tansey has had a decent season.but this ill-discipline is a worry.bjp had a superb season at quins.

Tansey and Houghton to share 9 and then Tansey can move to the halves when needed. Sounds sensible.

So our half back cover for next season is this season's full back? Sounds like a recipe for a successful year when our 1st choice half backs get injured again. And who thinks tansey could actually play in the halfs? I've seen nothing to suggest he has the skills required. He's too much of an off the cuff maverick for me and makes far too many errors

Wasn't it the derby were he played in the halves?

He moved in to the halves for attacking, and dropped back to fb for defence.

I agree Jake, he would be better at hooker. Personally I think he is a better fulback than BJB.

And so it starts again. Talented player given utility role in squad and never full fills full potential. I think we have been there before.

If and I appreciate its a big if, if Agar thinks we might not get the best out of Tansey for discipline reasons then he has to go. If he feels that Tansey has turned a corner off the field then he has to stay as FB in order to start to flourish in that role.

If all goes to plan there will be a halfback and a fullback coming in.

Grant rovelli + ben jones-bishop ?

Done deal ?

No Idea

So why the wink ha ? Just the name you heard ?

cos its a new name to the thread,you never know they could be some truth in it.

Was hoping for some Italian stud muffin with a name like that, so a bit disappointed TBH. Sort that beard out.

Don't be disappointed about the beard, it's probably the best thing about him.

Guess you don't rate him highly

Not really.

I'd have no problem if it was a one year deal and he's a better half back than Herbert.

It's ginger as well. Lordy.

that rules that out then, we already have webster on the coaching staff so our ginge qutoa is full, unless webster counts as fed ginger trained

Is this Rovelli guy really that ordinary ?

Oh dear. Looks like a cross between JJB and Wayne Rooney, a sort of Waynie Bones-Rovelli.

I much preferred the all-too-brief Amos rumour of last week if we're looking purely at asthetics. Amos for the quota spot solving the fullback/3/4 cover and pay for Robinson for the halves.

If he was good why would no one in the nrl be interested?

God your always complaining Sheldon
