I predict Tuimavave will end up replacing Pryce. I believe No 6 is the best position to fully utilise his skills.

For me, having him at centre keeps the opposition guessing what he's going to do with the ball. He put in a couple of cracking kicks on sat, and also set up a couple of breaks for talanoa. I'd keep him there, based on 3 performances, but things may change.

I agree. We have seen some great play on that left side and I hope it continues.

Anyway, if we dont bring in Marshall then I'd prefer to see Abdull get a run ahead of Los at 6. And if that doesnt work then HTW and Dean might be the future in that position so give them a try.

Each to their own opinion, thats fair enough. My opinion is that we have a Centre who has the ability to put fear in to the opposition, can go past players, can put his winger away and has a great step. Why change that by putting him to S/O?

Agree. He's a failed standoff as it stands. At 24 he's not managed to crack it. But currently looks the most dangerous centre in the comp. He looks as I've said before like joel moon. A failed half who's attributes suit centre more. In fact carlos looks more dangerous on his feet.
If it's an option to sign Marshall get it done!! His passing and kicking game would be unreal off the back of this pack

That's my view too.

Even though we've only seen him play at centre three times, we've been crying out for a centre like him for the best part of a decade. The comparisons to Joel Moon when he first moved to centre are fair ones IMO.

It's good too know he can slot in at s/o if needs be, but we'd be daft to move one of our most potent threats out of a position he's getting a lot of success in. That said, it's a long season and things could change.

Would I take Benji Marshall? - yes, in a flash. At the start of the 2017 season he'd be nearly 32, so maybe a 2year deal and 3rd year option would be the most sensible approach. He's a star, a genuine world class player who would have a huge effect on Dean & Wilson and the club as a whole.

Dean & Wilson are still very young, and would be 20 come the start of 2017. I'd like to see both get game time, but next year may be too early to rely on either as first choice halves.

Abdull is the other option, and has proved himself more than capable at 6, but his position in the long-term may be at 13?

Agree with both, have to say out of all the signings we've made Tuimavave is the stand out because he has performed in that centre role so well. Yes Pritchard & Manu have been great but non of us if we are honest really knew what to expect from Tuimavave.

Radford deserves huge credit for that decision to play him at centre, for me he has touches of Richie Barnett Snr about him and if plays half as well as the Panther did then leave him at Centre.






I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

to keep the recent Bradford bulls comparisons going, he reminds me of shontane hape

Don't see that 1 so much. If I was going back a few years I'd compare to Richie Barnet snr. But currently looks very much like moon

My experience of him playing centre comes from watching him play there in the NRL. In particular for Newcastle last season when defensively he was useless and did nothing in attack.

I have watched him since he set the NYC competition alight playing as a No6 alongside Shaun Johnson and also playing for Samoa.
