Completely agree, he hasn't showcased it much in his time here but he's a pretty decent ball player so it's not unreasonable to think he could learn it.
I disagree with this. The best sides have elite players in that position. Tigers would obviously have to pay overs to get one of those.
the best centres have been developed internally. think about it. Crichton, Olam, Farnworth, Staggs, Best, Manu, Tago, Timoko, Penisini, Koula, Ramien, Billy Smith and Campbell Graham all debuted and were developed at their current clubs. the only "elite" centres that have moved around are Dane Gagai and Val Holmes.
We've tried that for a while now & it hasn't really gotten us anywhere has it.
Whippy won't be on an nrl deal. no chance.
Wing is most definitely his best position for us. He's utterly useless at centre, always has been.

Completely agree Sirro.
There we have it. Another wests story that contains absolutely no new information created only to garner clicks.
Tigers in the box seat to land Jarome Luai
“There is an increasing confidence in the Wests Tigers.”
TIGERS IN THE BOX SEAT TO LAND JAROME LUAI
BY CHARLES GOODSIR 37 MINUTES AGO
The Daily Telegraph’s David Riccio believes a move by Jarome Luai to the Wests Tigers is looking more and more likely with each passing day.
Luai’s current contract will see him remain at the Panthers until the end of the 2024 season but has yet to re-sign with the reigning premiers who have already tabled a two-year offer worth around $800,000 a season
Tigers rookie coach Benji Marshall is reportedly front and centre of the sales pitch to Luai and Riccio believes a decision on the 26-year-old's future is imminent.
“To Wests Tigers fans, I wouldn’t be prepared to say you are going to get a huge present under the Christmas tree in the shape of Jarome Luai just yet,” Riccio said on SEN 1170 Breakfast.
“However, there is a big chance.
“Benji Marshall, in his ability to woo and sell the dream to Luai.
“At a recent house visit to Benji’s place made by Luai, (a deal) is now starting to gain some traction.
“Let’s not forget the relationship of Api Koroisau and Charlie Staines, (both) former Panthers.
“The Wests Tigers have a board meeting this week and it will give some indication on how much they are willing to go all in for Jarome Luai.
“This will pick up and gain some traction in the next 48 to 72 hours.
“There is an increasing confidence in the Wests Tigers (that they’ll get him).”
The "Tigers fail again" article is presumably already drafted.

I liked how he put 48 hours into the article
He may find himself our NSW Cup fullback for his experience & voice with Mason likely our JF fullback you would think.
Take anything Riccio says with a grain of salt. He said Sullivan was touring Newcastle HQ when he’d already signed with WT.

Defensively, centre is the MOST important position on a football field.
I would say it's the hardest position to defend but not the most important.
"At a recent house visit to Benji’s place made by Luai". This is new. Benji went to Luai's place and then Luai went to his place. Bit of romance going on methinks
Flip agrees with Tito
More likely that Riccio got who visited who wrong methinks.
