He’s great at what he does but his game is very limited. He’s fast and aggressive. It stands out. But Crichton is much better. So are Fifita and Kikau. Probably the best thing about Martin is that he’d be cheaper than the elite forwards, so Penrith can afford to keep him.

Disagree. Fifita and Kikau attack is better but their defense isn't close. Id chose Martin over both

Actually Martin's attack isn't close to the other two. Yes his defence is better than Kikau's but not by much. Fifita doesn't work as hard in defence but makes better contact than Martin.
Fifita is better than Martin - if anyone ever needed proof of your contrarian goals, this is it.

Liam Martin has Fifita covered from any perspective - individual achievements, honours, team achievements, general on field performance....he's just a better player.

But hey, that's just my opinion and most others....you must be way smarter than the average bear to see differently.

That's how it works, right?

Lomax to wing is best for the team no doubt. Just get someone in at centre who can tackle and pass the ball! I reckon Sean Russell, as I don't think passing is Simmo's strength.

Yep, Lomax is (pretty decent) winger, and not a centre's arsehole.

I reckon Ryles will let Zac fluff around in the centres until Addo-Carr comes back into the side on the left wing in Round 3. That's the coach's chance to send Tago down to Cup by having Zac shift wider and either Russell or Simonsson (Round 4) at right centre.

Anyone can pass the ball, and it's not as important for centres as running and tackling. We just got carved up by two centres who passed the ball 11 times between them. Penrith's centres each threw 3 passes this week. The days of going through the hands on every shift are long gone. When modern wingers get the ball, it is generally either kicked to them or passed by a spine player, including dummy half. Centres are often running decoys.
