In my opinion Tonga, Hopoate and Morgan, if all are fit, will make the team ahead of any player that might be considered for the wing. They're all in the top 15 players in the club.
I think the key to any team list is which centre spot Hopoate takes. Arthur has said Hopoate will play centre, but which one?
If Hopoate lines up at right centre I would consider Morgan for either wing spot. I think if Morgan plays right wing you could swap him and Hoppa around from right wing and centre to suit the different needs of different plays/options. I think they could become an awesome combination on the right. If this is the way they go then a fully fit Willie Tonga is your first choice left centre. If Tonga is injured, Ryan Morgan is the obvious choice for left centre.
It was written in one of the newspapers that Hopoate will be playing left centre, so that changes the scenario a bit. I think Willie Tonga is a great left side player, but I think he is just an average right side player and I think he would be useless for us at right centre. If Hopoate plays left centre I would play Willie Tonga at left second row and have Morgan at right centre. The option plays for a Norman, Tonga (later Loko), Hopoate and Hayne are just breathtaking to think about. I think we should go with Hopoate on the right though.
In my opinion you need people in your edge forwards who can actually pass the ball. Otherwise they are just a one-out runner on an edge, which will be easy to pick off. That's why personally I would go with Willie Tonga and Ben Smith as our starting edge forwards in 2014. Apparently Loko wont be fit until mid-season, but I would play him on the bench to come on and play on an edge when he is fit.
Of course, the likelyhood of both Smith and Tonga being fit for the whole season is very slim!
I think Hunt, Sio and Radradra will be in the mix for wing spots depending on which options play out above.
