He was signed on good money to be our 5/8 moving forward.If he could get a lot more consistent with his efforts he'd be much better off and so would the team.
If we see he is unlikely to develop elite 5/8 ball playing skill but perhaps have elite centre skills, then CC/ Gus would certainly be concerned about how far he can actually take the team. Might be a case of them realising they're unlikely to find the ideally suited 7 for him ever.....(all conjecture)
So they've possibly decided to expand the 5/8 options and try others.
I still have faith in him but it's time to pull the finger out and for him yo start leading from the front every single play and every game.
It is a BIG setback to our plans if he has to be moved ... halfback is a long way from being settled as well.
I still have some hope he can toughen up and perhaps play at 13 .... we have plenty of options at center.
