Re Rourke: Wasn't Max the Superleague "Rookie of the Year" in his first season and easily held his own as a SL fullback. This season has been an opportunity to review and reset and Max has taken that with both hands. Ignoring his excellent goalkicking, playing in the halves has added a new dimension to his running and attacking game. His decision making re run or pass has improved greatly and once he spots a gap he is using great acceleration and footwork to break the line. His passing has always been top drawer down the left edge but he has developed his game to be massively effective down the right as well.
Back to Rourke. He has had a great season and will continue to develop as cover for full back and will push Max to keep improving. That's how it should be. However, he will already have great qualities to bring to the team and should easily fit into the team on the right wing.
I hope there?s work on going in the background for next season as the outside backs are the weak area of the squad unlike the pack.
Need to let Walmsley go and get a decent centre in?
I know we have hooker Tyson Smoothy coming but it?d be great to have a proven quality centre signing. Morgan Harper would be a good one and doesn?t look like he?s getting much game time at the Warriors?played plenty of NRL games and still in his 20?s?.
harper was disliked by the fans at Manly... Think Proctor vibes at Wakey... There are far better outside back options
