The groundsmen from belmore said he seen xeri training at 6. Not sure if bullshit .. anyone know if Xeri ever played in halves ?
I cannot see him playing 6. Burton is a certain starter there. With 45 utilities following him that could all play 6.

He is a Smokey for some time training in the #1 roll if you are looking at him playing away from the centres.

We need him firing in the centres. We are well off with players that can fill on the wings (Skelton, Wilson) etc and players that can cover the halves (Mann, Hutchinson) but we lack any depth in the centres. If it’s true that Burns has left the club, it leaves Kiraz and Xerri as our only real centre options (assuming Chrichton plays fullback)

Hutchison has played centre at the Rooters. Mann could cover centre and I think the weak gutted dog could do a job there as well.

But that’s why we are in the position we are in. We had Topine playing in the centres at times last year. Just because they can “fill in” at centre it doesn’t mean they can do a good job. We need specialist players in their positions

Flopine isn't fit to lace Salmon, Mann or Hutchison's boots. Flopine isn't a first grader let alone fill in depth player.

You’re missing the point completely. You don’t put makeshift players in positions unless you have no choice (e.g. an injury during a game). Salmon, Mann and Hutchinson are not centres

What makes a specialist though
Every team has players that played multiple positions throughout career
Even Andrew johns floated between halves and hooker
