Seedy, Wes is the best defensive back we have at this point, he belongs in the centres imo. Our wingers are currently in good form and working well enough. There is a case to say that Wes would assist our kick defusal issue some but his defence is screaming centre to me. He has composure when numbers go at him, he smashes people solo. The game has changed a lot and the two positions that have changed a great deal are centre and 5/8. Both positions are now much more defensive than they used to be, and require a well organised player able to make good decisions and to put ball and all tackles on back rowers that drive them back. Its a really tough position to fill, I wouldnt be going for an attacking option there unless all of the defensive boxes were ticked first.
Going off what StGeorge does with players is a really poor basis for logic. In saying that with the 3/4 line they have had over the years Naqaima has been shifted to the wing a few times just because of the other players available.
As for Doogs, I wouldnt be the slightest bit concerned if he never plays another first grade match for us. He is a defensive liability, he is easy to get behind on kicks and you never know if he is about to knock himself out, one of his team mates or someone else with his frantic running and spur of the moment ball distribution. He is well passed his best.
