Some one suggested Maumalo to centre to accommodate To'a on the wing..

Thoughts?

1 Laurie
2 To'a
3 Maumalo
4 Gildart / AJ
5 Nofo

That, to me... has a bit of punch to it.

There's not even a remote chance Maumolo will ever play centre, ever.

Toa has been a centre for much of his career and is probably a good bet to partner Gildart there, depending on how Tupou settles in

I get the impression they won’t be in a rush to bring Tupou in. To’a, Roberts and Gildart will be the ones fighting it out imo.

The best centre at the club doesn’t have a fixed position yet… #justsayin

Expected back mid season. Rehab on an ACL is LOOOOONG. Long way between running straight lines and full speed contact

Tupou may even debut from the interchange. He seems to have the ability to play a number of backline positions.

We know Sheensy is a fan of that.

Nope - I suspect you’re talking about Doueihi, I’m talking about the best proven centre at the club

Ok, you have thrown me but love a good mystery......proven centre....hmmm....the only fit player that I know that is a proven centre and has shown talent is JTJ but I havent seen any evidence that he still has it.

Ok...Ill bite...who?

Robert’s is done…
It’s The Peach…
Has played better at centre in the NRL in recent times than anyone else we have in the squad…

Yeah maybe. Would love to see the Peach come good. I put him in the same bracket as Hastings and Gildart. Hopefully watching. FWIW though I think the Peach has been bought for his utility value though and lends himself more to a roving 13/9/6(at a pinch).

Tend to agree with that but if he kills it at centre, then i think I could probably learn to live with that.

I’ve said it since day dot - smartest signing the club has made in a dogs age…
Not many (if any) players in the NRL that can play as many positions as effectively as the Peach…

I look forward to the “Peach World Order” signs

If Twal starts at lock, he could be good odds at starting in the centres.

If twal starts at lock out chances are already screwed

A young and shy kid,who hasn't played league in 2 years, is unlikely to start the season in the NRL. He'd have to be absolutely killing it to throw him in like that.

I'm fairly sure he'll start off in NSW cup, and then potentially get a callup based on Form and fitness.
 
Peachey has to play lock. We've got plenty of centres and I don't think peachey is quite suited to play there anymore anyway.

To'a will have a good chance of starting the season there

Plenty of centres, but none of them are necessarily good.

We have the same amount of centres we did last year, by my count….
We’ve lost our most decorated centre, an origin centre and have 3 down with long term injury’s…
Replaced them with maybes…

If we were shot there last year, we’re in for a rough trot this year
