1\. Moses
3\. Tedesco
6\. Austin
Moses might not be as quick or strong as Tedesco but is definitely the better player as far as ball playing and link-play goes. He can operate as a 2nd five-eighth essentially which is very valuable. Looks a lot like Lockyer at fullback and with a good offseason adding a bit of size and speed, will be a lot more dangerous.
Tedesco's career would be preserved I feel in the centres too. I cringe after he gets tackled on many kick returns with that very jinky upright style he has, because it seems that whenever he gets tackled around the legs he could get hurt. Running straighter lines using his speed and strength from the centres would still utilise this and he'd still be a massive threat as a support player looking for offloads, as a finisher of back line movements and also in the short kicking game.
Austin's game isn't that suited to the centres either. There's no doubt he could have some success there, but he isn't the type to beat his man on the outside to put the winger away. He works best drifting around the 20m in from the touchline and targeting tiring forwards/much smaller halves with quicker bursts of speed and that huge step of his. He's your prototypical running half in that sense. There's a number of times his running has troubled teams this year. The try against Parramatta just before half time that kept us in the match was awesome, albeit it was from hooker it shows what he can do. Same as the half-bust he made that lead to Brooks' try vs the Dogs and quite a few occasions vs the Cowboys he bent the line and nearly busted them in his first start at 5/8th. That's not to say he isn't a good ball player, because he does a good job with that aspect as well. Moses and Austin in tandem at 1 and 6 with Austin's running threat squaring up defenders allowing Moses space to exploit the overlap was the reason we were able to score that many tries down the right despite having scored barely any earlier in the season.
All in all, it's a good problem to have since we'll be having quality first graders in all positons, but I just feel that there's more potential in the 1\. Moses 3\. Tedesco 6\. Austin combination with Austin being able to take out 2 defenders with the threat of his running game and consistently giving Moses the chance to work his magic in space with Tedesco and Nofoaluma outside of him.
