Will get more excited about PJ as half when he actually gets on the field. Want to see him fit and able to handle a full (trial) game before I confirm him in my mind as our best half option. Someone above said both PJ and Tim Smith would be gambles, and they're right. Hopefully one will pay off!
Colonel might be onto something with Morris at half... that way with PJ at 6, if he doesn't fire or stay fit he can be more easily replaced. More five eighth options like Wags, Mateo, Marcus Perenara - all of whom have as much or more first grade experience and chance to excel (inside Morris) as Tim Smith has as a rookie (half outside of Morris).
Tim Smith may not get a nod until halfway through the year, the same was as Michael Witt did in 2003, through injury or circumstance.
