Player movements and rumours

    The funny thing is, I think wing is actually a more important position than centre in the modern game and probably deserves more praise/salary cap allocation for all but the absolute freaks. So to be more than a winger he'd have to become a fullback -- something I kind of think he could do, but also a position he's made clear he actually hates.

    Yeah wanting to play centre is a very strange hill to die on. I can't really think of many centres out there that demand more of a salary cap investment than wingers (outside of all the 'fullbacks' who got paid overs and then shifted into centre when they turned out to be shit at fullback).

    Cleary seen two thirds of sweet fuck all then this year. He’s licking your halfbacks arse in stats this year.

    DWZ gone to the dogs

    Kallum Watkins is joining titans in july :eek:

    That came out of nowhere Tbh. Will be interesting how he goes. Should have came over 5 years ago however.

    It could be good for them, though English backs haven't been anywhere as good as their forwards.

    Surely the Dogs proposal of 11mil over 10 years for Latrell Mitchell is not real. Surely.....
     
  9. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Latrell definitely wouldn’t go missing.

    I'd have him at NQ tbh. Good excuse to get rid of O'Neill.

    I wonder if he just wants to be seen as more than a winger because centres get paid more. If so that could be fixed - just tell him he's worth more as a winger than almost every centre in the game (which is true IMO, especially if he stops sulking about it) and pay him accordingly.

    I still can't believe wingers are so underrated these days. The crazy shit they have to do, you'd have a star winger before a star centre pretty much every time IMO.

    Its just simple supply and demand. There's just far more serviceable wingers running around than there are centres hence at the top end centres are always going to be paid more.
     
  14. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Centre is by far the least influential position on the field.

    Yeah I just fundamentally disagree with this. I'd much rather have Beale playing centre for my side than Pereira playing wing, so I don't think there are more servicable wingers than centres, particularly when you consider that wingers have more influence unless the centre is a complete freak (I'm thinking only Latrell really counts as being worth more than a top winger at the moment).
     
  16. Cribbage RG Cribb

    The second best centre who actually plays there at club level is probably Manu (or possibly Leilua is we're only talking attack I guess?)

    I'd take a bunch of wingers at my club before taking Manu, unless I was thinking about turning him into a full time fullback which would obviously defeat the premise of the post.

    Anyone else find it odd that everyone in and around the NSW camp is talking about Maloney being the saviour and the essential pick?

    He was a stop gap solution after Pearce pulled out and they’re carrying on like he was a no brainer.
     
  18. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    He should’ve been a no-brainer. But yeah he’s no saviour like Johns or Alfie. He just brings a bit of needed experience to halves.
     
  19. Julian BJ Taylor

    Don’t pretend Manu is even close to Leilua as a player Roberto.

    Maloney to Catalans
