No because he kicks goals.

Actually, its because he is a damn fine finisher .
He bombed a try last week and almost bombed one today, hardly a "fine finisher". He's a far better centre and it's clear as day. He will only end up on the wing if there's better centres at the club or we continue to develop pure shit on the wing.

Last 7 for me would be

1. Topine
2. Harrison Edwards
3. Skelton
4. Morrin
5. Jake Turpin (We are fucked if Mahoney goes down)
6. Prop
7. Prop
No Turpin... Better options in NSW cup in Trevilyan (Raiders) or Berrell (Sharks)

Morrin, Patolo, Seumanufagai and Edwards are going to need to battle it out for a spot. All of them show promise.

Matt Doorey, Tuipulotu Katoa, Joe Stimson and Brandon Wakeham will not be re-signed and anyways there duds.

I'm very unsure where Kurtis Morrin, Creedence Toia, Jayden Tanner, Philip Makatoa, Ryan Gray, Harrison Edwards and Joshua Stuckey will end up?
Cook is rubbish!

Kiraz centre over Schoupp all day, find another winger.
I'd try Schoupp next to Kiraz first and bring Skelton onto JAC side.. if they don't work shift Schoupp to wing.. if that don't work Toia it is.

Unsure how accurate this list is but I would have Creedence Toia on a top 30 contract as backup for Averillo.

About a month back Gould said there were 5 spots to fill in the top 30. Not sure of the type of contracts Hayward, Preston, Stringer, Pele, Davey, Papalii have been signed to - NRL, second tier, development, train n trial?

Moving players on such as Allan Okunbor and Cook will be helpful.

I don't understand the Kennel hatred for Brandon Wakeham. He and BBO have been the regular halves pairing for the reserves this year; BBO has had some good touches, but Wakeham has been the main playmaker, and has been the best player on the field more often than not.
