I notice there hasn't been a Jersey presentation for Iongi.

I think it was more to do with Luai being ahead of him. Ivan played him at 6 when Luai was unavailable.

Maybe so but aside from Burton. Can you think of a tall 6 in the comp?

But Talagi is not fast. Average speed. Great footwork

but can he ball play?

 

[Iamback]

Burton's size had nothing to do with not playing 6.

From the time. If they saw centre attributes in Burton who we knew could kick, certainly in someone same size that can't kick

Yeah they wanted him to be a centre because they had a halves combo. That link doesn't say anything about playing centre was due to his size excluding him from half.

Not off the top of my head currently. GI went alright at 6 and he has a few inches on Burto. Laurie Daley would be a similar size as well going back a bit further. It's not the norm, but I doubt that aspect even really crossed Ivan's mind. Luai had done his time and was good enough to secure the spot. If Burton and Luai swapped ages I'd say the jersey would have gone the other way and Luai would have had to go elsewhere to get a shot.

I am not so sure. Ivan ran with May at 7 when Nathan did his shoulder that was Naden and Critta in the side. So there was no shortage of kicking targets.

Either way is a good problem trying to fit everyone in
