I think the likes of Hunt, Jennings and Fui will be ahead of him for a position there...Wouldn’t be suprised if he gets a start at left centre for 2018. He went ok there for Lebanon

Wouldn't let anyone down, but I'm picking Fuimaono to continue at left centreWouldn’t be suprised if he gets a start at left centre for 2018. He went ok there for Lebanon
Like to see Fuimaono on the edge in the backrow. Maybe come off the bench for impact.Wouldn't let anyone down, but I'm picking Fuimaono to continue at left centre
I think with Sam and Angus (both 80 minute players) lined up to play second row that Fui would struggle for minutes playing off the bench.Like to see Fuimaono on the edge in the backrow. Maybe come off the bench for impact.
I think we are probably a quality back short
So Sam at left edge backrow with Fui outside him in Centres? (Could be good)I think with Sam and Angus (both 80 minute players) lined up to play second row that Fui would struggle for minutes playing off the bench.
I rate him equally in either position (and he said in an interview recently that he prefers centre) and as you said, we're a bit short on quality outside backs.
When our outside backs can make good metres off kick returns it takes a lot of pressure off our forwards (makes it hard for teams to set their defensive line and gang tackle the twins/Sam).
G.I was always a big part of that and adding Gagai & Fui to that would help even more. I also think that's why Richie Kennar keeps getting a mention. His power running on kick returns would help out even more.
I'm assuming it'll be Kennar, but would have zero issues with it being AJ.So Sam at left edge backrow with Fui outside him in Centres? (Could be good)
Then GI sweeping around the back gives Cody a lot of options on the left.
Who should be on left wing?
Makes sense to me.I'm assuming it'll be Kennar, but would have zero issues with it being AJ.
I tend to think Cody just needs strong ball runners (Sam/Fui/Kennar) and he'll create opportunities whereas outside of his kicking game, Reynolds would benefit from having a bit more class/skill around him (Crichton/Gagai/AJ).
I also think Johnston combines really well with Reynolds' short, attacking kicks and that kind of partnership could help balance out our attack which has always been very left edge dominated (Sutton/Inglis combination, Walker etc)
If it was up to me, G.I would be playing left centre in 2018.Makes
Makes sense to me.
Still think we are a Prop short in the rotation.
In 2019 would like to see
- GI maybe move back into left centre and we sign a top fullback (RTS would be great)
- sign another Prop (Walmsley would be perfect)
Wouldn’t move GI from fullback for AJ.If it was up to me, G.I would be playing left centre in 2018.
The AJ/Walker/Reynolds/Cook spine seemed to he'll really well before AJ got injured last year.
But it sounds like G.I wants to keep playing fullback, so I doubt we'll see him move.
Crichton should now be played off the bench imo......Like to see Fuimaono on the edge in the backrow. Maybe come off the bench for impact.

More to prolong G.I's career.Wouldn’t move GI from fullback for AJ.
It would have to be a top fullback
Douehiei should get first crack before Tracey
I think with Sam and Angus (both 80 minute players) lined up to play second row that Fui would struggle for minutes playing off the bench.
If we are to accept some highly probably selects as below
1. GI
2.
AJ
3. Gags
4.
5.
6 Cody
7. Reyno
There are 3 positions up for grabs. I think we will be ok.
