David Mead

Mead left the NRL because he wanted to play full back but seems to have found himself 3rd choice full back at Catalan behind Tomkins n Gigot would we be able to tempt him to Cas to play full back and giving Mata’utia a centre [REMOVED]?

At 30 could he replace Roberts on the quota list next season or even this season if we could sort something with Roberts?

don't think mead has looked anything like the player he was in the world cup. for me he wouldn't get in our first choice 19. theres a lot more than mead that looked good for a few weeks but have disappointed since.

Wish people would stop moving Pete from Full back. He looks solid. If we want a centre/winger then sign a centre/winger.

I don’t think it’s that people don’t agree that he’s solid at fullback, he just lacks that little bit of pace to be a really potent attacking threat from fullback. I personally would prefer him at centre, but accept that he’s the best fullback at the club so should play there.

I'll see second this the power in his drives and the ball handling he has he could be one of the best centres the only down side as said above is he's pace other than that I thought against Catalan he looked head and shoulders above where he was last year he was always near the play and kept turning up where he was needed only the one little blip was his knock on but he had the best game at full back we've seen since Zak imo

After what I saw of Pete last season and how he played against Catalan, he is my fullback every day of the week. He can defend and he created tries from the back. Be absolutely foolish to move him, he would be wasted in the centre.

Hopefully this is now a lesson to our Australian counterparts who, in the past have been found guilty of bashing their partners, that coming to Super League isn't an escape. There's a good handful currently playing in the NRL who have been found guilty. Do we really want them in our game? absolutely not.

Exactly, good post - we have a full back, our coach has stated he is the full back, we don't need a full back. Just for good measure Pete is the full back.

So Pete is the full back... Just asking for a friend.
