A bit of off-season fun.
Hodgson and Tedesco are not to be mentioned.
After these two, who is next best Wests Tigers fullback so far?
Nominees that come to mind:
Caine
Bula
McKinnon
Moltzen
Mbye
Mitch Brown
Any other nominees? Anyone I’ve forgotten that deserve a mention?
Has Bula done enough to enter the top 3?

You will upset Eddie with this Joel.
In memory of Geoff Chisholm (1965-2022)
3 i’d have to consider Joel Cool(Caine). He was pretty good in his day.
Apart from Bula who is still learning, the rest never really reached great heights at fullback and were ultimately a disappointment in that position.
It’s really hard to go past the two we can’t mention though. They were the standouts with Caine as no. 3
Cory Thompson
Gutsy and whole hearted player. I will do a thread on wingers next that exclude Tuqiri and Tuaiki and I reckon Corey will get plenty of love there.

Bula in the top 3 for sure, mainly on the weakness of the list overall especially when u exclude those 2. Moltzen had a few decent moments however they are generally a sad bunch. Caine was OK.
It's a pretty sorry list to be honest. Bula and Caine the only two to have given us more than a handful of good games as a #1.
I wonder why Mitch Brown was on the list as he probably played more at wing or centre. But he was much underrated I believe and should have played more in the 1
Where would you rate him as Fullback?Cory Thompson

H e played as many games for the Tigers at FB (22) as W (22)
4th or 5th probably, once you get past the top two and Bula, its a pretty dire list. Bula next best after the big two. Strangely enough, I think Mybe was a very good fullback with the one critical flaw that he couldnt catch bombs.
I think that flaw makes him a terrible fullbackWhere would you rate him as Fullback?Cory Thompson
