Is it confirmed that Tahu will play right centre? Because if he is then Peterson will play outside him not Grothe.

Not sure but I think so, from what I've seen everything suggests he'll be a centre. and from memory Tahu is a right side player

If Tahu and Grothe were teamed up together for any length of time, they could form one of the most devastating centre/wing combos in the league.

yep... they would devastate other teams in attack.

unfortunately, i think they would also be devastating for us in defence.

I kinda think Tahu would be wasted on the right side (bit like Jamie was). Generally the left side see's more ball and most of the attack tends to go left as well.

I like..

1. McKinnon
2. Burt/Petersen
3. Wagon
4. Tahu
5. Grothe

True because most players find it easier to pass left then right. Lyon played left centre in origin and made Tate look ordinary. That prck was so good.

we will concentrate on whatever side of attack we are more affective at, I'd like to think that both of sides of our ruck will have a great deal of potency.

I think we need Ben Smith somewhere.

He showed against Cronulla that his defense is good and he's a big strong guy with plenty of pace.

Seems to suit the left centre possy perfectly.

I've always thought the backline should be

1. McKinnon
2. Petersen
3. B.Smith
4. Tahu
5. Grothe

With Burt 1st replacement in any position.

Now thats a great backline. Theres a few candidates for that left centre position.

although, tim smith, delaney, cordoba, muckert should be included... bench perhaps?

Yes.

My isse was that i ran out of pretty boys lol.

Because I rate Henderson, but having him at starting hooker ahead of Riddell? Methinks not.

and one day you boys will realise that i know what you are talking about!!

i named that bench for you because they too are pretty... :roll:

special eelmentary, special :thumn

Went to a training session this morning, and Tahu looks fantastic! He is a giant! Looks so fit. I would say this is the best buy Parra has made for a few years!

Funny thing is is that the starting 13 pretty boy team I named looks damn good.
