    I wouldn't be so quick to shift him to the second row. It is not like we have a shortage of them. I think this kid can play in the Centres long term.

      Second-rower/centre OK.....but Fullback...??

      SKD has more attributes of a fullback...IMO (Except he is stoopid..)

        Yeh I'd be very suprised if Graham isn't back in next week, I mean he has been there all season. I don't know who will be dropped though.

        There is no doubt though BJ has a big future for us. I think he can job for us at centre but his future is in the forwards.

            The pin ball was there yesterday.
            I agree and I said at the start of the year Mini will be like Mullins in 2002 better every week and by the time the season is getting to the end people will be screaming for him to be resigned

              In no circumstance should Leilua ever play fullback. He has played in the centres and in the backrow his entire career and I don't think that should change. He is best utilised on the edges of the ruck or out wide running a straight angle. If he moves to fullback, it will mean he runs sweep plays and that's not his go IMO. Keep him in the centres for now, he is fast becoming a very dominant figure out wide.

                For this season though I think Graham has to come back into the side. Our defence out wide was very poor. The misses by BJ and Linnett for the Dogs first and last try were ordinary. I think we need Graham's experience out wide, he has been good for us this season. Who goes out I'm not 100% sure.

                Just looking at yesterday our left side defence of Anasta, Carney, BJ and Linnett will struggle if something isn't done.
                Like Aubbo I think he'll develop nicely in the centres too. I'd keep him her for the rest of this season and next. Only 18, not hard to see why shit hit the fan when Bennett found out we signed him last year.
