That’s true, but I can’t see either of them being a better Fb than Edwards.

Guess it depends what you want in a fullback. Staines looks more agile and faster and Burton a better ball player and better step. Edwards looks stronger though with good running of his own.

So, either they saw that he possessed the natural traits/skills of a half or you are saying that we must stick with Cleary at half because the traits/skills needed to be a top quality half can be coached. Which is it?

Depends what you're responding to.

We should get Nathan Brown on our coaching staff,I just have a vision of him and Barrett slaping each other in the dressing rooms before a match and the boyz will fire up..top 4 guranteed regardless of who plays hooker..

As you said it won't happen and I'm am the type who is massively against Cleary to 9 but would support it for this.
I’ve seen Edwards do what

We already tried that with Ashurst and Stephenson it didn’t end for us.

I'd be looking at next years 1st grade team looking like this.

1.Edwards
2.Staines/Mansour
3.Crichton/Whare
4.Naden
5.To'o
6.Cleary/Burton
7. Luai
8.Tamou
9.Kenny/Cleary
10.Fisher Harris
11. Martin/Winterstien
12. Yeo
13. Kikau

14.Burton/Kenny
15.Winterstien/Martin
16.Leota
17.Leniu
And having Nathan Cleary, jump into hooker 30mins into the game and Burton off the bench at 5/8th, which naths probably better suited as a 5/8th or hands on ball 1st at hooker, Luai should be halfback in my opinion.
Nathans defence is pretty solid, and having him amongst the front row should tighten up the middle, ala cameron smith or peter wallace

I'd have Burns over Blore due to the fact he can cover centre if needed but that is pretty much spot on
