Defense isn't an equal field across the line. Centers have increasingly more pressure on them to correctly read the defense in order to not leave their winger isolated or move too far out and stretch the 2RF or the half. I might be wrong with this; Sione has spent more time at center in his career than anywhere else - second row, fullback or wing - but never managed to string together a relative handful of games in the position.
Maybe if he can have a season where he doesn't play center one week, second row for a month, oh but then gets moved back to center for 5 weeks, we might be able to judge him better on his talent.
Absolute rubbish.
He has had plenty of chances to cement his spot in the centres.
We were crying out for centres.
His attack was average and defense was woeful.
That’s why he was shifted to the backrow.
Brown will do whatever it takes to keep Sione in our starting 13.
I still can’t get over last year when Brown was defending Watson in the centres for Sione.
I would be packing my bags too if I was Herman and Aidan.
How the heck is Sione starting over these two?!!
What kinda message is Brown sending to the rest of the squad by continually picking Sione?!?
He dropped Herman for a couple poor efforts but rewards Sione a starting spot every week?!?!
