o Suli - Is as good as we are going to get for now (hes not my ideal player either).. the 4yr contract is a bloody long time.. but he may well end up a 2nd rower yet also. And 100% all of our backline will look better in space and without being on the back foot.. I dunno if we have the roster to fix that.. but it cant be any worse.
o Sloan - Has to really put on weight and get aggressive to be a winger (and we all hope he will do just that).. but he has always struggled to carry the ball out of the middle where he has the advantage of stepping either way.. the last place we would want him is on the wing where he can get banged into touch. I know some fans love him.. but the 2022 or 2023 Sloan would struggle to even make the NSW Cup 13 (Ben Rumble @19yrs is ready to play fullback for NSW Cup imo, but he has no dev contract). What I suspect will happen is we will start Ben on the wing with Sloan @ fullback in NSW Cup.. but im almost positive mid season Rumble will be playing fullback fulltime.
