To be fair, I think Brett Kearney [who was our last quality FB] had made up his mind to return to Aus after 2014, so I doubt there was much that could be done about that.

We didn't bring in a decent fullback for 2015, so after a season of using anybody and everybody [I think only Ryan Shaw ever pretended to be a proper full back].

In terms of someone making a decision and being 'blamed', then bringing in Richie Mathers is on another level, and though it clearly failed, I confess I could see the idea of a leader, maybe past his best, organising from the back, almost like a captain...so to speak.

There was a chap called mullaney who was a proper fullback iirc. Unfortunately he was made of biscuit.

Yeah, I'd forgotten him. He was pretty good, to be right but as you say did miss a lot games at FB, many times only because he was in at half..

Biscuit or cake? It could be important for the VAT return.

That's it that's who I was alluding to, maybe should have been more specific.
