We extended AJ, Staford and signed Naden - all centres.Cannot see Staines being recruited as a NSW Cup / backup player.
If he signs for 3yrs or so you know he will be in the starting plans as he carries into Benji years.
He is a 21yr old good enough to play 35 games over last 2yrs for the best team in the comp.
He walks into our team. His defensive & attack have all improved noticeably this year, in NSW Cup he has been great at fullback making 200+ mtrs/line breaks/covering across the park.
The kid will be a walk up starter for us. He has 1+yr on any other back we used this year.
Maybe Laurie 5/8, AD center, Staines Fullback. Could be why Laurie 5/8th talk is happening.
We've got Talau reportable coming back, might not play centre, who knows.
And some want AD at centre - which I doubt will happen, personally and will be persisted with at 5/8 (imo)
I also don't think Staines is signing to play backup but yeah, some interesting movement to take place I think.
