I would like B A to be our 5/8\. He can organize our plays better than anyone in our club. I personally think it'll all be a waste of a signing if we use him at lock or 2row. Benji to halfback. Bring that chip and step back Benji. Unstoppable.

Hopefully 5/8\. I think he'll be a handy pick-up but i'm hoping he won't be the only one. I don't like the idea of him being a replacement for Ellis, i'd like a back-rower with more punch i.e Sika Manu or Tony Williams (never happen). We're still a back-rower and 2 props short for next year imo

He's too soft to play there :wink:

I think he would be wasted playing outside Benji at 6 Would rather him at 13 with a roving commission in attack myself with Miller at 7

Miller's best position is at home on the couch watching the tigers!

If Sheens played him at Lock, we would essentially have Four halves on the field, and Four blokes that could go to first receiver. (Benji/Miller/Anasta/Robbie). Very hard for the opposition to defend against

I hope he plays as a ball playing lock with Marshall and Miller in the halves 😛ray: But I think he will lay at 6 with Marshall wearing the 7.
 
5/8th for mine.
he'll give the stability and direction in the halves that we haven't had for some time.
Marshall will be free to come in and out of the attack whenever he wants, but Anasta will be there with Farah organising and directing the attack for the rest of the time.

playing him at lock would be a waste and add more troubles to the balance of the team IMHO. It's a struggle as it is now as to who calls what play, who wants the ball when between Marshall, Farah, Moltzen, Miller/Humble, throw in another ball player in another position and it will just add to the confusion.

This could also get very confusing.
 
I think it won't really matter what number he has on their back. Benji, Robbie and Braith will always float between dummy Half, 1st receiver and 2nd receiver.

More than likely, Braith will give us that good kicking game when we are in our own half and need a good clearing kick. Without Benji having to worry about the 5th tackle option, he might run the ball a bit more on the 2nd last.

I think its a great signing for the money. He isn't amazing and is at the end of his career. But what ever position he plays, he will gives us good stability and consistency. Both of which we are lacking right now.
 
I just hope we can keep Miller and Siro, because they will get their opportunities eventually. They just aren't ready yet.

I see them, alongside Tedescco, as our post-Marshall/Farah/Anasta attacking weapons
