I think Peachey has to play 13. 

I'd prefer him to play 13 but we are just so light in the centres, I think Peachey has to play in the centres until AD returns.

Won’t Gildart and Kepaoa be in the centres?

Scrap that, just saw the Kepaoa news which is a shame. Even so, I’d rather Toa or Roberts there. Peachey is too valuable at 13 to not play him there.

Issue is, Gildart is an unknown so we literally have nothing at centre at this point in time. I want Peachey at 13, I just don't think we have that luxury unless these young guys jump out of their skin in the trials. I really hope Roberts can find some old form but I am very worried about his defense.

That’s true but we don’t have anyone suitable to play lock outside of Peachey. The game has changed, we can’t put Twal there.

 

Chuck Gildart and Roberts/Toa in the centres and leave Peachey at 13 imo.

That is horrible, I'd be playing Seyfarth there.

No way. The modern game needs a lock that can ball play, Seyfarth doesn’t fit that mould. Our halves pairing is one player who is completely unproven, and another who was dreadful. We need Peachey in the middle no matter what, and he’s much better at 13 than at centre imo

Seyfarth's link play at lock was fantastic last year, he pushed Brooks wider of the ruck where he plays his best football. I don't disagree that Peach is a better lock than centre, it is just that the options of centre haven't shown me anything. Hopefully that changes in the trials as I would prefer to have Peach at 13, just don't think we have that option as our centres are not first grade standard.

@garry I rate Seyfarth as a player, but our halves don’t look to have a heap of points in them, they’ll need creative help.

Also need people to run off them. It really highlights the fact our Roster is still below par, the problem is the same we just disagree on what to do because both options are rubbish lol

I didn’t realise Toa had such a good scoring strike rate. Eleven tries in 20 games and six tries in twelve games alone in 2021.

@helmesy does he play in the centres at all, or mainly just FB and wing?

He only played wing for the Knights in 2021 but had a couple of games at centre in his debut year 2020.

Might be a real chance to get a 3 or 4 jersey in round one with AJ injured and Nofoaluma and Maumalo 1st choice wingers.
