Where does Dugan play ?

[bluefox68]

Agree that Ramien is a centre, but he obviously can play wing...

He should go there in place of Katoa.

However, I don’t think Dugan will be back...

 

[snout]

I don't think he will see out his 4 years.

I like this idea. He’d probably go better / be more suited on the wing than Dugan or Leutele.

Ramien is our best center in years, you don't put him in the wing.

I agree with the 'best centre' comment, but he has played wing - World Club Challenge - he could be a real threat outside Dugan (right-side attack).

I'd also be happy with Lee & Duges on the left and Ramien and Katoa on the right. I think this is more of a dangerous combo, but I can't see Flanno dropping Leutele. It would also be a bit of a waste putting Loots on the bench, as we need big (but mobile) forwards.

 

[bad boy bubby]

To put Loots, or any other outside back, on the bench you have to drop either Seggy or Brails.
That may happen, Flanno has been playing Seggy for longer minutes the last couple of games.
To win the comp it's best if you have an 80 minute hooker, ala Ennis and Smith.
But carry on.

Ramien was trash on the wing.

 

[Tiger Shark]

Loots to be dropped makes the most sense for me but we'll see what he goes with.

yeah pretty much.

Can Dugan take Katoa wing

 

[bluefox68]

Ramien was trash on the wing.

Yeah, but that WAS 18 months ago... (roughly)...

 

[snout]

No way will flanno drop Loots.

 

[shaggs]

The only evidence we have that he can play wing was that game where he wasn’t up to scratch.
Swapping between the two spots isn’t that easy, especially for a career centre

Can Dugan take Katoa wing

Seems a better option than swapping and changing centers that are in good form.
Duges would handle wing better than lots of Ramien. (I think he was in the Aus team on the wing at one point?)
Less likely to rupture his hymen on the wing too.

 

[Weaponhead]

Big doubts that Ramien could defuse kicks therefore no to wing.

Lol hymen.

The 12 year old boy in me always got a laugh at that American swimmer misty hymen

Slightly better than the Eyetalian Olympic Basketballer, Gregor f**ka.

After last night you wouldn't move Val back to the wing. Duggan will be back for the Manly game, hopefully LL also. Drop Sorenson and Katoa, put Duges or Loots on the wing.

I think Sorensen needs to be in the 17 he was only forward to play 80 last night, and interesting to see Bukuya is getting very limited minutes
