6 could be anyone from Connor, Adbull (if re-signed) or Tuimavave The vacant wing spot: Naughton, Lancaster, Rawsthorne? Logan & Bower backing up Fonua & Griffin
Plenty of options there.

If lose Pryce, Michaels, Feka, Yeaman, HTW and Dean and sign Connor, Griffin and two young kids I'd expect us to have some cap space for another signing either before or during the season.
A unknown superstar wrote:Griffin will definitely be first choice centre and would have Tuimavave as the other with Fonua back on the wing, although I've said since he played a game for us that a Fonua is better at centre. Although Tuimavave will stay at six, so I expect Griffin and Fonua as centres and Naughton on the wing.
Fonua would be wasted now on the wing.He sees a lot more ball as a centre. Not so sure we will see Carlos at 6 as i think the club will still sign an established 6 if they are able to. Cant see where Connor will fit in other than a replacement for injury similar situation to Naughton this season

I'd keep Fonua at centre, but I could see a few reasons for him going to the wing
We are stronger at cente than on the wing with only Talanoa and Naughton Fonua is still suspect in defence in the centre. He would score loads of try's off high kicks to the corner.

Don't forget we have paid a lot of upgrades for juniors and new contracts for a couple of first teamers and I hope they will be looking to upgrade/extend Sneyd and Houghton's contracts too, that uses up a lot of cap space as well. I doubt we will see any more major arrivals unless a well paid first teamer departs.

Think looking at last season this'd be his last, he's had a great season of course but he's getting on and for all we know could have already lined a day job up before this season had kicked off. Wish him the best, he's been a great servant and deserves more than 2 challenge cup winners medals.
