I could be wrong, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say, I think Takarangi is a right centre

I hope that Faraimo isn't considered for first grade on the wing. He may have been Wenty and NSW Cup player of the year but he is way too short and struggles to turn and chase. I would like to see one of the young wingers from NYC given a go. Lavaka or Li. Similar skill levels with a bigger upside.

You would have to think that if Hopoate plays fullback that Robinson will be the first choice for the right wing. In fact I'd go as far to say that he is far superior to any player we have stuck on the right win over the last 3-4 years.

Far superior? LOL. Not really. He is a similar player to Luke Burt in my mind. He will receive similar criticism at least.

He is a decent fill in player BUT he isn't a player you want to have playing 25 or 26 games a year. He is fast. Outside of that he doesn't do much. We will need wingers who can get in and hit the ball up as much as finishing tries. We are rebuilding. Again. Rebuild with the young guys. Not cast offs.

Well if Vai Toutai gets a run ahead of him I doubt I will bother watching for too long.

I'm actually considering having a year off in any case.

If Hopoate plays fullback I would like to see Toutai play in the centres. He is more at home there.

Would you say he is very Ken Sio like? I'm guessing Reece Robinson is costing less than Ken Sio and that is the reason why Robinson is here and Sio is not.

He's a lot faster than Ken Sio. He's not really a winger, he's a fullback.
