that's it... he had a few quiet games where teams just ran all their defence at him, but he came back strong at the end of the season.. I think it would be a good choice because we need a decent centre and I personally am keen to see Nick Meaney remain in the top squad
Agreed nick meaney looked very good at the end as well seemed stronger and super quick he could have a big year looks really good on the wing

If a winger can’t catch, step or defend he shouldn’t be in FG. No matter how big and tall he is.

Funny thing is that Okunbor smashes our wingers in all offensive stats while also being equal or slightly better in all defensive stats lol.

So we invest in 4 apparently terrific young centres, dont play them because where gonna put the only decent winger we have had in 10 years in there. We dont want to bloody win do we.

Some people are specialist centres because of there defensive reads and tackling style, some have it, most dont and will never understand it. Next minute he wants to play fullback, get his million dollars and refuse to sing the anthem. Lol
He wants to play centre because our centres get 500 k and wingers 300. Pretty simple math. Id want to move to centre too.cant blame the man
Stay on wing reimis its our halves fault. Wakeham will bring u into game more i believe.

I'm not that worried about where he plays. But it's definitely a positive knowing that he's got the ability to defend kicks as a winger. If we have another capable winger to replace him there I'd have no issues with him moving. But it's a decision that the coaching staff have to make.

He’s the best winger at the club by a country mile
Here’s an idea
Let’s move him out of position and chop and change more positions
How did that work out for mr dean pay last season?

okinbur is utter rubbish and has absolutely zero idea out there
Watch him live at the games and u actually feel embarrassed for him
If his mother didn’t work at the club he’d be a reserve grader for life.
Next u have floptoya and Holland
Enough said

Schoupp, Averillo, Harper. Our wing depth is limited, Smith needs to stay where he is
Not arguing.. hope harper can hold his own until schuopp and averillo take over from he and hoppa.

He's a fine winger. Let him work on perfecting the wing spot, and if he then wants a bigger challenge, give him a go at centre. He's a good talent and we should do whatever we can to make him happy with us.

I think he has the potentials to be one of the best centres in the game but he hasn’t really been given the Opertunity there.
I think coach Dean hasn’t got the vision and hasn’t seen the potentials. I believe he will make a Massive difference to the centre’s if he goes there.

I'd rather he stayed on the wing. He's our best winger by far and one of the best finishers in the comp. Plus having Okunbur on the wing terrifies me...

Reimis' workrate was poor most games as a winger. He has the talent to succeed at centre, but can he handle the physicality of playing there every week? Making that many tackles on second rowers and reading things defensively is a bigger adjustment than people think.

Probably already mentioned, but Smith in the centres brings Okunbor into the top squad full time... I thought Jayden improved heaps this year, especially his handling and efforts under the high ball
I really think he needs some time in the top grade, hes shown how hard he can be to stop in limited chances id be willing to start with Remis at centre and Jayden on the wing at least we"d know for 2021 if he"s ready.

Meaney is our only x factor who has a bit of speed id like to see him stay just for that reason
