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.

Yep our centres are a weakness unless the kids can stand up big time

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

I think we are significantly better in the centres this year. We've lost BJ who was hopeless. We've gained Gildart, To'a & Tupou. I think all 3 will be much better than BJ.

I view Peachey as a lock or interchange player who can come on in multiple positions but he could slot into the centres as well.

If not they are three wasted signings. No, make that two as we have to allow some time for Tupou.
 
Our cup team is looking good...

Pauga, Tupou, Ogden, Kei(who's he?😂) , Hoffman, and whoever doesn't play grade.

That's just the centres stock.
 
Stafford To'a looks the goods and definitely get game time this year due to illnesses/injuries and if his form warrants him taking over a wing spot so be it.
It is a no-brainer that Madge will be looking at training attitude and performance in trials that will determine if Stafford Toa, Junior Tupou, Tyrone Peachey play and what position.
You can throw just about the squad of 30 in there for that matter.
I hope that players get selected in positions that they will perform in not just to fill the void (injuries and suspensions change that of course)

You're right, but I still think it's worth taking a punt one a few of them instead of playing the peach there. We really need him moving the ball around the middle of the field.

Whilst we're potentially better - That may not be NRL standard....
we were a long way behind last year.

Not swapping Tommy for JAC is possibly the dumbest thing we've ever done.... (Or not done)

What about extending Nofo?

Probably could've used his funds for JAC and kept Talau

great try that one. hopeful he hasn't lost too much pace from the injuries he's had. also unsure of how he's going to handle himself defensively week in week out. fingers crossed he rises to the challenge.

All reports out training say he still has his pace. I think he will have a big year.

Was thinking there hasn't been much talk on him as yet.

there has been a little, apparently stronger than his frame suggests and that he's impressed early on. also heard that he smoked nofo in a 10m out drill, that said that's not a difficult thing to do.

I’ll wait to see how he handles NRL before fawning over him.
