No coach would want a player who can't tackle lining up against Latrell Mitchell. If Tim Lafai is carving you up then its panic stations against Mitchell. It seems Benny still has his marbles.

Inglis will play half the game and Corey Allen will come in and play right wing and Lady Gaga will go to right centre.
You had this same argument last year when Hunt played centre and Lady Gaga played wing.
You thought Seibold finally made the call to play Lady Gaga on the wing.
But what do you know soon as Kennar came back from injury, Hunt was dropped, and Lady Gaga was back to right centre.
Soon as Inglis gets a few games under his belt, he’ll move back to fullback.
The centres will be Burns and Lady Gaga, the wingers will be Graham and Johnston.

Every opposition team hopes Gags goes back to centre Wooshka. This week is all about keeping Mitchell under control. A crippled Inglis getting that gig over the QLD rep superstar of this era is no vote of confidence in Gags.

When Tim Lafai is carving you up with every touch of the ball tgere is no way you could be asked to handle Latrell.

Unfortunately for Seibold he made the wrong decision last year, he should have left him on the wing.

You’ll find Inglis had no preseason so for the first few games he’ll be playing right centre until he’s match fit.
He will shift back to fullback and Lady Gaga back to his normal right centre.

Yeah cause the right centre never has to do as much tacking as the team's left centre does eh? :rolleyes: If you are trying to ease someone back in, putting them on the side which does the most tacking is not smart from that perspective.

Ol' Wooshka is yet to admit Gags can't read the attack well, has a habit of rushing up and taking tackling nothing but thin air, is brushed aside with ease by his opposite, can only hit a stationary target (ie high ball to opposition winger to chase and hit which worked wonders last season) and won't put his body on the line in defence.

The plan is to give Burns a chance to cement left centre from when Inglis does eventually go back to fullback.
Lady Gaga won the Wally Lewis on the right wing so the position isn’t unfamiliar with him.
Corey Allen trained right wing yesterday outside of Lady Gaga, good chance Inglis might not even play.

"I’ve got a young player in Burns who needs more football, and I think he is more suited to the left hand side than he is to the right-hand side,” Bennett said of the 22-year-old who made five NRL appearances for Souths last season.

“He has trained there all pre-season and GI is pretty flexible about where he can play so that is pretty much the reason he is on the right. The other young fellow will get an opportunity on the left and hopefully can play the season for us there. I think he can, but he just needs playing time.”

Why is Woosh referring to Gagai as Lady Gaga? this is a guy who has followed him from club to club as a fan, where Gagai goes Woosh goes, was there a lover's tiff in the off season?

I think the point was that the left side in attack is generally the more dominant side for ball movement. Hence more defending for the opposing right side defenders.
