Hi - would you be able to keep am eye out for any news on this developing rumour Noitall?

Left field thought… what if AKP is seen as a fullback

Highly unlikely as defensively and work rate isn’t Webster style but imagine him chiming into the backline

This is the thread for dreams, no matter how ludicrous

Chevy is like a slightly better ball playing Josh Dugan. Not sure he's what we need even though he definitely has talent.

I mean Dugan was a tall, slow, lumbering, physical fullback while Stewart is a shorter, fast, non-physical fullback

 

[BrisbaneWarrior]

You’re biting a player like Stewart for the player you hope he can be, not the player he is now.
Look at Walsh until recently

 

[Too much]

As you mentioned Stewart doesn't have many try assists but he can get across the try line with greater abilities than Iongi has.

Iongi NSW Cup 17 tries in 59 games
Stewart NSW Cup 28 tries in 58 games

I will leave it there. I don't want to pump up his tires any more than that. I don't want to give the impression he is Reece Walsh.

Iongi is gonna be a superstar. What he did against us in R26 is like an entre before a 10 course degustation. Judging players off NSW cup stats isnt the greatest stat line to choose…especially when one guy is now a lock in first grade and the other is not.
