I'm unsure where the reddy to number 1 all comes from. He has had very little experience there. Honestly, I would be moving Lawrence there and chuck reddy in centre before giving reddy such an integral position.
Reddy certainly would not be a long term option in 1.

Reddy is fairly big , played fullback at parra and was noted for his strength and he would run hard at the opposition , fullbacks need all of this

I can see what you're saying Helmesy and its a very logical approach. Personally I believe it would be better for the kids confidence to throw him straight into the deep end, rather than having Sheens hold his hand and walk him into the side with 10 minute spells off the bench, by showing the club has faith in his ability. I think it'd be better for his development if we just let the kid play the game he has thats got him this far.
A few blokes before him have gone straight from SG Ball or school boys to First Grade, like Lawrence and Benji for example. They were rare talents, heres hoping Tedesco is the same.

So does lawrence. But stronger, faster and knows benji much better.
That's what I mean. It would be better to have Lawrence in such an integral position in our spine, than just an above average centre.
ultimately I hope tedessco is there.

Lawrence is pretty much the gunn centre in the comp , could not move him , nobody in our team can play there as well as him , tedesco i hope if he gets the start it is in the trials , opposition will want to give him a real welcome to top grade , and im not saying he cant do it yet , i just hope he is ready , i know he is very good

The quotation marks , which follow the words " time Sheens said " means it is not a rumour but they are quoting exactly what Tim said .
And based on WHAT TIM SHEENS said , one should believe that Moltz will be the half back …........

Wests Tigers coach Tim Sheens is refusing to confirm young sensation James Tedesco will be his fullback for the NRL season opener but, either way, it appears Tim Moltzen's days in the No.1 are over.
Moltzen starred alongside five-eighth Benji Marshall in Saturday night's 20-12 trial win over Parramatta, the performance erasing any doubt Sheens would have had about the utility finding a home at halfback.
But while the halves are in order, there's still plenty of question marks over who will take Moltzen's place at the back, with Tedesco overcoming a nervous start in which he fumbled with his first two touches in his own in-goal to put in a solid effort.
Former Parramatta utility Tom Humble also spent some time at fullback, while another ex-Eel in Joel Reddy and Mitch Brown could also be an option for round one against Cronulla at Leichhardt.
"He took one in the air and took a knock, and then he got a knee in the mouth, so he had a tough night for the first half," Sheens said of Tedesco.
"He's sharp, but there's a long way to go yet before we're talking about maybe our No.1 fullback.
"But he certainly showed plenty of enthusiasm, good speed.
"Tommy went well there too, Brown will be playing next week as well - I'll just still experiment with that in the short term."
Asked whether Tedesco was favourite to snare a start for round one, Sheens said: "I'm not making the decision on that just at this stage - I'm not saying I'm not (going to pick him), but I'm not going to make a statement about whether he will or won't."
"There's another trial next week, a couple of weeks training, lots of things can happen - I need to have a real good look at the whole thing before I make a decision."
Sheens said he was pleased with the work of his halves, particularly in the first half when they laid on three of the Tigers' four tries.
"They're quick … they'd be the quickest halves I think in the (competition) as a pair," he said of Marshall and Moltzen.
"I was pretty happy with them."
Sheens also confirmed skipper Robbie Farah and centre Chris Lawrence would play in his side's final trial against Sydney Roosters at Campbelltown on Saturday night.

You need to learn to read between the lines. He will play some of the match at fullback. Others like Tedesco will also get a go again.

Maybe the fact that Moltzen played 7 against Parra and will again play there against the Roosters is a good indication. Surely you can put 2 and 2 together in regards to what Sheens is thinking. The fact he said he was satisfied with their combination, and labelling them the quickest halves pairing in the comp is a dead giveaway in regards to who will be the no 7\. I was with you, i wanted Moltzen at 1 and Miller at 7, but there comes a time where you have to accept that thats not whats going to happen. I know everyone has preferences to what they think is the strongest side, but its much smarter at this stage of the yr to pick the side you think will be named, not the side you want to be named. Because you will only be setting yourself up for disappointment
Moltz at 7 is a Lock,
There is no way Coach would be faking such a vital position with such a young player.

How filthy would the Steeler fans be if Moltzen was selected as the Blues halfback
