I think I'd rather judge Carlos on how he is doing now,rather than a few years ago, in a different league playing with a different coach and players.

I heard bad reports about Talanoa wing play from Steve And Jim from the NRL bins 13, lucky I choose to ignore them.

Seriously though, he may get a chance so let's see how he does before making him our long term 6, we have a lot more options at 6, than centre, so unless something changes I'd leave him there.

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



As I said, everyone's got their opinion. But there are a couple of points

He is no longer playing in the NRL and the early signs are that he is suited to Centre in the ESL.

I can only assume that he played in NYC with Shaun Johnson (established NRL player) a few years ago. I'd also hazard a guess that Chris Thorman (no offence Chris, if you are reading this, but your time ah Hull wasn't your best) would look good playing along side Johnson.

There would be no point moving a player to S/O if the centres who replaced him were not good enough. This has been proved time and again with Hull spending on halves when our centres have not been of the standard good enough to open or go past defences.

I never remember him playing at centre in the NRL. But after we signed i found highlights of the reserves last year. 1st game I came across although had 6 on his back played centre. Scored 2 set 1 up.
He looks like he's got everything to be an all round threat at centre. Combined with a real spark with his wingman. We've spent nearly 10 yrs finding a real centre. If he continues this yr as hes started then it would be madness to move him. Dean and wilson are more than anything trying to get their bodies up to standard as both small lads. Abdull is ready and waiting. In the market centres are harder to get hold of than halves.
Everything points to carlos being some1 we can plan around in making our attack genuinely scary on the edge

I'd rather have Carlos playing centre and using his stand-off skills as an extra pivot-like threat in attack, alongside the halves and hooker, than throw him at stand-off and lose the extra dimension he can give our attack. He's started well so far, keep him as he is.

How many has Carlos set up already, no way would you move him. Leeds halves are dire and you wont see them putting Moon there

On the basis its driven by something in League Weekly, that's a fair assessment.

On the basis its driven by something from Dave Parker, in League Weekley, its a virtual certainty

Story at the back of the same paper made it sound as though he was only thinking of the move if Cooper Cronk was signing for them

was thinking not so much in his style, more the ability to get the best out of his winger. vainikolo was a great player but still needed to be given the ball at the right times






The referee's indecision is final

I watched every match from late July last year that he played in that was on TV and went to the Grand Final at Parramatta. I recall him playing centre the match after he signed and he scored a try but the team shipped over 50 points and that was his last game at centre. He then played a few games at full back,had an injury and returned to play the finals series at 6. He missed the final because of the birth of his child but played in the GF win.

This was the 3rd occasion that I had been to see him win a trophy as he won in 2010 and 2011 in the NYC competition playing for the NZ Warriors with these latter two being played on Grand Final day. He was MOM in 2010.

I also went to see him play in his debut for Samoa in 2013 when they played Tonga in Penrith.
