With Mennings still not re-signed we're a bit weak at centre. Blake is excellent (though injured) and after that we have a bunch of options who are only really backup standard - Takairangi, Salmon and Parry. Or Ferguson to centre and Gennings to the wing. Maybe Parry will grow another head after a full off season and emerge in round one as a first grader. Maybe it will be Salmon instead? Fingers crossed but I hope Mennings re-signs. It's very exciting.
He’s a massive cat.
No thankyou, he's a whiney little merkin. He's been badmouthing us since he left.
Would have Jennings started preseason if we had re-signed him or later because of his rep commitments?
For Wenty???
As backups maybe but we probably need another top 17 centre, unless Parry or Salmon step up by round one.
Played a bit of centre this year.... Is he our plan b if Mennings doesn't re-sign??!!
I'm pretty sure the older players start later regardless of rep commitments.
But we're talking about centre, which requires defence first and foremost. Gennings' defensive issues won't be resolved at his age whereas Parry just needs a stronger upper body. He'll probably have one by March.
Others closer to the club will know better than me but wasn't there some tension with his old man and BA/coaching staff about him not getting a run in 1st grade early this year/ pre-season training? I know he got injured in the pre-season trial but there was talk prior to this happening...Something along those lines. I think this was further heightened when Stefano didnt get a run in 1st grade particularly with some players leaving kept getting selected.
