It will never be considered. Dylan would make a better prop than a 6

I’m sure it will be considered along with numerous other options.

Im not saying I’d do it, but Iongi is a talent and it would be a shame to lose him without ever actually seeing what he could bring.

From the limited amount I have seen Iongi would make the better half if you are trying to fit him in.

Dyl has zero of the attributes needed to play in the halves. He even looked lost on the wing for Australia.
He's our best ever 1 and that's the only spot he'll be considered for. He'll play 1 until he's pushed out then he'll play a few years in England or at a shit club here in the Australia. He will then join a strength and conditioning team hopefully

He is an out and out fullback. I’ve never seen him in the halves coming thru the juniors.

We've basically lost our most promising halves, three or four, this past two seasons, poached by other clubs.

Of the current crop of juniors I don’t see NRL quality in any of them from Flegg down. Jett Cleary is the one whom perhaps most is expected off, for obvious reasons, but I haven’t seen anything yet to suggest he could progress further. (Disclaimer: I said the same thing about Nathan Cleary when I first saw him in Matt’s playing hooker.)

Honestly I’d rather @murraymob play 5/8 than Edwards…

Schnieder is our next halves partner next season

 

[WestyLife]

If anything it should be the other way around

How do you mean? Iongi at 6?

Just think this merkin got paid to write this........ f**k me dead. Edwards can barely pass a football

Haha yeah it's also really lacking any substance. Reads like a comment on here more than a professional piece.

Yeah Raiders fans are seething about losing him and now he's here.

Yep, I know Iongi is leading all the same categories as Edwards in NSW Cup but if I had to compare him to an NRL player. Jayden Campbell is closest so works as a 6 if you want to play both

Right on.

Schneider can play. More upside and higher ceiling than O’Sullivan and Cogger.

Whether he reaches those heights tonight or not, who knows but he will do a job. Panthers are based on systems and not on single individual brilliance which is dictated by who is playing and who is out.

I’ll be rooting for Scneids tonight and hoping he has a red hot crack out there, which I’m sure he will.

Edwards at 6 - gee thats an odd take - for all Dylans metre eating ability etc - i think he organises out defence really well and doesnt get mentioned enough.

we would sacrifice alot of what he does right and every game for minimal improvement in the halves.

Schneider will be fine - i expect Romey to take control of this team and let Schneider do the long range kicking and lots of effort in defence

Opposite, romey will stay on his edge, and schnids will just do what nathan does, just a little slower
Its plug in plug out, everyone is assuming that romey needs to step up, but he just has to do what he always does

Read smh article today that said of the last 76 times we’ve been up at half time we’ve won 75. Incredible. Ivan still massively underrated for what he’s done here.

Watching the footy show.Nathan cleary is on .Super impressive in everything he does from preparation to talking about the team said he will be back after the bye

In other news Benji had been sacked by the Tigers with Ivan returning immediately to replace him

The only loss was the Golden Point one v Cows last year without the Origin guys.

Even that has an *
