That's the last thing we expect him to need practice on.
I didn't say you said we had a shit roster. I was just taking the opportunity to reiterate a point whilst replying to your vaguely-related post.I didn’t say we had a shit roster? I said they were undersized last year
No direct quotes from Jennings himself but this article suggests he thinks Taka will also be starting in the centres.
If true, BA has had another offseason brain fart akin to not playing Edwards at the start of last season.
“Jennings expects he'll start in the centres with Brad Takairangi in round one against Penrith, with the edge player against spending time out wide in the pre-season.
Rookie Jaeman Salmon has also trained there, but will play in the halves in a reserve grade hit-out against South Sydney on Thursday night.”

Ah...good point. Has an official suspension been handed down yet?Maybe Taka will cover Salmon while he serves a suspension.
If all the talk about Salmon is true, how he has been impressive in pre-seaso etc, there is no reason Taka should have the jump on him.
Maybe he sold Jenko are furphy.No direct quotes from Jennings himself but this article suggests he thinks Taka will also be starting in the centres.

I didn’t say you said I did. I asked an open-ended question regarding the general topic. Which was about how shit our roster wasI didn't say you said we had a shit roster. I was just taking the opportunity to reiterate a point whilst replying to your vaguely-related post.
I actually like that centre pairing long term, but with our current roster, we need Gutho at fullback IMO.Maybe he sold Jenko are furphy.
Starting centres Gunco & Salmon
I’ve thought about French. I think fixing his weakness of being manhandled on kick returns is as simple as being super aggressive with them. Rather then looking to minimise how much he gets pushed back, he should just be going top speed at gaps, jinking at the line, linking with wingers, etc and especially being a real bitch when tackled a la SlaterI actually like that centre pairing long term, but with our current roster, we need Gutho at fullback IMO.
TBH, I just don’t think he has it in him to be more aggressive/tough with his runs. If he did, there’s no reason he wouldn’t have shown it by now.I’ve thought about French.

I don't think so either, but IMO it's what he needs to do to maintain a 1st grade career. Contract year so if he does good for him, good for us but if he doesn't then bad for him, bad for us but only for the remainder of a year where expectations are fairly lowTBH, I just don’t think he has it in him to be more aggressive/tough with his runs.

Listen, we don’t have a shit roster so why don’t you just f**ken drop it, bucko!I didn’t say you said I did. I asked an open-ended question regarding the general topic. Which was about how shit our roster was
Ah...good point. Has an official suspension been handed down yet?
If so, do trials count?
Why don't you f**k off to some Euro trash countryListen, we don’t have a shit roster so why don’t you just f**ken drop it, bucko!
Go f**k yourself with a Park Rd, MiltonIf it’s OK with you I might save myself a long flight and go to Park Rd, Milton this time.
