Interesting Tim Mannahs love for Cayless and Douiehi saying Hastings is "filling in at 6".

Of course he's filling in.... Doueihi would've been starting 6 if he wasn't injured. Hastings would be battling for the 7 jersey or a bench spot

Who knows mate, he didnt exactly ace 6 last year. He did some great things but defensively couldn't do it and lost some really winnable games, Warriors comes to mind.

Was easily our best attacking weapon while he was at 6 though. One thing is clear - he has to be touching the ball as much as possible

Hastings has openly said Doueihi was first choice for 6 also, that's where he was going to play.

More of a political thing to say, he's not gonna come out and say the 6 is mine.

Last year proved Brooks and Doueihi didn't work. One has to go. Fate has it Brooks and Hastings have the first crack so I think a lot depends how they go the first few rounds.

Somehow I doubt we'll be flying in the top 8 by the time Doueihi is back. Someone will make way for him in the halves at some point this season, he's the most natural 6 we've got and is a massive talent who's still only 22

23

24 soon too, if I’m not mistaken?

[Tim Sheens]

Reading thoughts that Adam might not be in the seventeen was a bit of a laugh. He may not be viewed by some as being at what they see as an inflated level claimed by others, but he walks back into the team when passed fit to play.

Assuming Brooks is left half, whether Doueihi plays as right half displacing Hastings or wider at centre upon returning, will almost certainly depend on injuries or Jackson's form there otherwise. Another option is a JH move to hooker if things aren't working out there, but either way it is probably best all round for WT that the initial spine is gelling, with Adam still being able to add to the side from centre.

Wouldn't mind seeing him swap positions with Peachey occasionally on attacking sets from there and acting as a first receiver. Still, whatever line-up prevails, my biggest worry on that side is the combination with Lucy struggling for the eighty in defence and putting pressure on those outside as well. We need our D there sorted first and foremost.

 

[Merlot]

seems 2 b were building better quality depth,then previous decade

 

[PJ_]

Hastings just keeping ADs seat warm.
Will go to 7 when Adam is fit barring injuries.

 

[barnsta]

AD will be a great 6 after more time in that position

 

[GNR4LIFE]

AD’s future is in the forwards

 

[earl]

AD’s future is in the forwards

I can't see this happening but I could be wrong. I don't think he could handle the grunt work regularly.

I don’t see him at 5/8. Especially given how impotent we are in the centres. If he was fit, he’d be the first centre picked round 1.

 

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

Where AD plays will depend on how Brooks and Hastings go in the first few rounds. If they aren’t firing he comes back at 5/8 with whoever is deemed weaker dropped from the halves. If things are going well centre it is.

Adam’s versatility will ensure he has a place in the 13 each week but works against him for locking down a position

 

[PJ_]

Wasted in the forwards.
Will be a 6 and captain.

**Adam’s versatility will ensure he has a place in the 13** each week but works against him for locking down a position

I think that’s to his detriment. He’s in the same boat as Mbye, can’t cement one position. People will tell you he’s a 6, yet he was supposed to be our 6 last year and was shifted in to the centres after 8 or 10 rounds. I think like Mbye, he’ll be whatever the team needs at the time. Better player than Mbye though.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

I actually think where AD plays has nothing to do with Brooks/Hastings but more how he recovers and what our backline is doing as a whole.

He could be the bench utility, fullback if Laurie gets injured, center (most likely based on timing) halves if injury hits or no signs of gelling.

If he has bulked up the upper body which happens often on leg injuries then lock could be a fit as well making him a good utility bench option.

He will be 24 once he is back on the park coming off his 2nd major knee issue. He is very close to be known as a utility style player if he can’t cement a position.

Brooks has Sheens backing.
Hastings has no pressure on him for the first 5-10 games as he is the new kid on the block.
Our backline will change by mid season with AD, AJ & Talau coming back.
Laurie might have the typical 2nd year rookie syndrome

There is more to our team than AD. Just hope he spends time with Cayless on his defensive techniques.

He mentioned in latest interview hadn't had positional convo with sheens yet, you'd think it would be better to give him clear direction

There's been nothing on talau. Wonder how he's tracking

 

[Demps]

AD’s future is in the forwards

Played some second row for Lebanon.

He could play anywhere.

He has openly stated he believes he is a 6 and a man with belief and confidence in his ability is a man I'd back.

6 for now... who knows what the future holds.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

It was just mentioned in another thread that he still has 5 months of rehab to go. So assuming he’s just gonna walk back into the side and be the answer if we are struggling is way too premature. He’ll most likely play a few games for the Magpies too. We might not see him back in first grade till round 17-18.
