If Hardaker is 1st choice full back we don’t want him to be filling in at centre all the time, Full back is his position not centre.
Sutcliffe at centre is our weakest player in the starting 17 and where we need to upgrade, Sutcliffe can stay as 3rd choice centre and a bit of 2nd row cover or move on.
Full back
Hardaker, Myler, Walker (possibly)
Centre
Newman, Sutcliffe, Simpson
Half back
Austin, Sezer, Myler, Sinfield
Hooker
Leeming, Johnson, O’Connor
I can see the logic, but we could have prime Senior or Lyon in the centre, we wouldn’t get anywhere near winning if Sezer is out for an extended period, or our props continue to get mulched by the likes of saints or Catalan. Didn’t we win two grand finals with either Ellis or Ablett filling in, it’s just not a priority for me, but I understand you have a different opinion.
As an aside, all this is subject to Zack staying, if he goes, we probably would need another utility type, or a starter to allow Sutty to be the utility. Anyone heard if it’s a case of if or when?
doesn't he just?
