I think CNK might be a centre long term.
Though TBH I thought he looked like a centre when we signed him and the thread came up here showing his highlights... so maybe I was right initially, or maybe there's just an element of confirmation bias at play. He did get named in the NSW cup team of the year in 2016 at centre though.
Also, they might want Fus to play centre, but his attributes seem of better use on the wing (and may well be the next fullback if RTS leaves at the end of 2018). So CNK->centre makes sense to me.
Of course, the better option would be to go sign a centre or two (for competition, if two - I'm happy enough with Ayshford.. though they'd compete with him too, not just for the other spot). James Roberts I wouldn't trust to be available (read: not suspended for bad behaviour) to make his high asking price worth it, and nothing else from NRL ranks jumps out at me... but as it happens I do like two reserve grade centres (both QLD cup guys, though one switched from NSW cup mid-season).
1. Jeremy Hawkins, Sunshine Coast Falcons. Been in the Storm system for a couple of years now after a very average start to his career in Canberra. Currently ripping QLD cup apart, and not really any question marks over any aspect of his game. If I had to knock him, it would be that his attacking numbers are likely inflated a bit because he's working with the Croft/Walters halves combo... but that's it (possible questions over his hands too I guess - makes his fair share of drops, but again likely inflated by him seeing so much ball.. and his create/score rate compares favourably to his error/penalty rate). Decent ball runner, very good at setting up others (particularly his outside man), impressive (and consistent, for his position) defensive work.
2. Jordan Drew, Townsville Blackhawks. This guy will surely be keen to move for an NRL shot - why? Because he just did move this year - for a chance at a shot... in the future... at a club that already has centres. Hasn't shown much of setting up his outside man, but a strong runner and a better defender than Kata. Also has been making very few errors. Came through at the Broncos, stuck behind internationals at centre, moved to the Sharks, stuck behind Bird/Leutele/Beale/Capewell at centre (unjustly, I'd argue, in two - maybe three - of those cases), now hoping for a Cowboys contract (behind O'Neill, Linnett & Bowen... and with a young guy ripping up NYC this year at the position).
