    Centers much play like faster versions of backrowers these days...even young Angus could play there but his improvement second half of last year says keep him in the middle and everywhere
    Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe

      I think Brett Morris and Brett Mullins before him have proven that veteran wingers provide more than just good value.

      Even Brett's dad was great for us as a veteran winger!

        Trouble with Ryan Hall is he has zero , none , zip flexibility , he cant turn and chase quickly , he's not an athletic winger / centre , he may have been in the past , I cant comment , have followed him , but at the moment he is a battering ram , more of a front rower aka Trevor Gilmisters build . If he's in of course I will support that but cant see it working on what I saw last year . And yes I know super league winger of the century blah blah

                I reckon they should give Sitili a run at left centre....just get him to practice sprints....he’d be unstoppable !

                  He can play right centre cause Manu will be playing hooker.

                      If you don't know that Toops is a left player than you may be beyond teaching.

                        I hope we don't recruit from outside , I think we have some young guns that might turn into something .
                        We have some players on the development list , I trust in Trent to bring them on.
                        Christian Tuipulotu ? He looks pretty good ?

                        We can always fall back to Aubo

                        I like the idea of Tupounia playing out there , that kid deserves a starting spot , he is an awesome talent that we need to keep switched on and keen , this sort of challenge does players a lot of good. I think he's good enough.

                          That’s a pretty interesting idea. He’s certainly a comfortable left side player. He played a bit of wing in NYC in 2016 when they won the comp. Line running is his big strength which other than short side raids from Keary may not suit our attacking style all that well. Not sure I can recall him having much of a right arm fend and I can’t see him gaining enough lateral speed by March. But worth a look considering his position in the squad. He’d need to prove he can defend on an edge because some of his efforts late last year were the season he was dropped for Collins. You have to be 100% reliable in Robbo’s system. Otherwise it would be a bit rich to go into each season expecting to win.

                          I think it’s more likely that he’ll use Brett Morris as left centre and give Kepaoa a run in the WCC to see if he’s running to throw in at right wing. At least until Hall is available.

                          Thoughts go out to Billy though, such a great upstanding kid who loves being at the Roosters. As someone else has mentioned he’ll be taken care of here better than anyone else in his position. Plenty still to look forward to from him.

                            Teddy had 2 ACL injuries b4 he turned 21years old! No lose with Roosters best depth Roster ! Dont be surprised if Angus Chriton plays centre ! He has become the new ALBO, fast strong ,scores trys and always has a offload! U heard it here first! Morris stays on wing

                              Terrible news for young Billy , makes the decision to release latrell seem even more foolhardy.
                              Out of all the options that have been mentioned in the press I'd be going for Josh Morris as I don't see any of the others as being left centre's.
