oldmancraigy said:I like to respectfull disagree with the last statement! If we're looking at our best defenders in the backline, it's Hayne 1, daylight second. There's no doubt he's our best option as a DEFENSIVE centre, not to mention the tantalising lines that he runs in attack and his high 'game IQ'. By mid season we'll be saying 'best centre in the comp?' and we won't be far off!
Agree about their aireal skills tho.. but we probably need at least Hayne in the centres!
I'm not convinced Reddy is 'safe' - he's 'safer' at fullback, but he seems so slow off the mark these days, and so awkward in defense all the time... Always a chance of being caught out of position, makes bad reads, and is very slow when the ball is slotted in behind him, or over him.
And caylo - I reckon that Reddy is probably there because we haven't got a better option at this stage!
You fellas who are suggesting that Reddy's form was 'good' last year have pretty damn low standards I'm afraid...
That is one thing I may have to agree with, but as the season proceeds i think you will find that U20, and wentworthville will have a few players atleast who will push for a spot in the backline. Reddy has atleast Benny to contend with plus Etu, T.T. I think the u20 though may relay help bring jnrs through starting next year
