They also have several actual centres. Using that theory Tom Turbo should of not played Origin despite being in the top 5 in the comp
For the most part there is a greater probability a fullback is more capable of playing on the wing/centre position than there is of a half/five eight moving to the centres/wing.
Australian/SOO selectors have accommodated the best five players into the five outside back positions for a long time now but rarely does it involve a half/five eighth being drafted out into those positions and it is more common place for fullbacks to play wing/centre such as Tommy T/Holmes/Hayne etc etc.
What you and other’s are suggesting is we do it the other way and try and somehow accomodate our halves into outside back positions such Luai/Burton. I’m sorry but it rarely works that way and in the case of Jerome certainly won’t and Burton I just don’t see it.
If Matt Burton is a better option than Jerome Luai then he get’s the job at 5/8 and Luai starts in NSW Cup. It’s not that hard.
