The logic of some of these scenarios people are offering up beggars belief.
We have the NSW FB who has most excellent KR and HU stats.
We buy a centre from Melbourne who in effect is surplus to their requirements.
Some people are advocating we move the NSW fullback to centre and move the centre we purchased to fullback.
If we needed a FB then buy 1 if we needed a centre then buy 1 but to force 2 changes and have players out of their natural positions is ridiculous.
If Mary thinks Dugan is better suited to centre then OK but buy a proven FB to cover the position instead of hoping we can cover it. Positive intent is far better than hit and hope.
All the talk about Mann played here / played there as a junior counts for very little as it is not the position he played in the NRL when we purchased him. Where is the evidence that he can play full back at NRL level?
This type of scenario reeks of not having the best game plan to suit the style of the players we have and hoping by moving them we will achieve a better result.
If players don't fit the mould for the team move them on or if the coaching staff can't get the desired result move them on. Unfortunately we have habit of keeping both.
