We all know that DWZ's deficiency lies in his ball playing and passing game. I was certain that he was going to be our long term fullback late in the season, but after Will Hopoate played there when he got injured, and got two try assists, I started having my doubts.

Today's game shows that Will Hopoate has the ball playing ability to be our Fullback.

DWZ and Hopoate should both play fullback, at different times. DWZ can take the kick returns, but once the line is set and we are attacking, Hopoate plays in the middle. In the defensive line, DWZ should play fullback.

Hoppa’s hands a great in the centres as he can give quick ball to Smith. I think DWZ will be good sniffing in middle off our forwards after a full off season

Dallin is basically our Ken Maumalo/Blake Ferguson who are both on the wing... I like his organisation from the back though... I'm happy with whoever goes there.. even if Meaney had another go, if he can put more size on during the pre season

Hopoate's a great Centre just leave him there.

Hoppa is a good fill-in at FB but not permanent. We have been down this road.

If Hoppa had a bit more pace he would be a better fullback than Tedesco
