Yes. Naden more powerful but is a better winger than centre, Naden also played in a backline of an absolutely stacked side with miles more space. You're kidding if you don't think Jake would be as a elusive in a similar side with that sort of space.
Cook, being a natural 9 already has the advantage. Deitz didn't get a decent chance in first grade, underplayed when available and injured a lot of the time. The shit he cops on here is ridiculous.
That's a pretty hot take, he's obviously a good support runner and broken field runner but I don't know if he's the best of those guys in situations Centres run in.
He looked fine doing it at centre in the lower grades, even when he first came into the NRL at centre he showed ability playing in a rubbish side and with Lewis feeding him. I really think a lot of our fans are sleeping on him because of the state of our firstgrade side. I know it probably doesn't mean that much but he was breaking tackles at a higher rate per run than Cotric and we all know Cotric ran around in circles at times racking up those SC tackle breaks lol.
Burton is our long term Super Star 6, our next Terry Lamb...... that's it.
Yep see that side of it too given he missed so much footy the last 2 years. I think he’s a real instinctive footy player I’d like to see him build on his first grade experience behind a stronger forward pack. His versatility means he can cover a few spots for us. If he starts off in reserve grade it wouldn’t be the worst thing but surely given what he’s shown he has a head start on some others like Cook for a bench spot.
I honestly don’t know, and I suspect none of us do. What I am going to do is to wait and watch, there is a lot of water to flow under that bridge before the season even starts, then there is a whole season following. Gould may even have another Kikau rabbit in his hat to pull out and surprise us all.
Out of the current 16 starting dummy halves, where do you rank JMK?
64th
We been saying this but people want to put him in centres [emoji23]
I think he's the worst starting 9 in the competition. He's definitely in the bottom 4.
I think he could play centre but I'd rather him start at 7 and be given the opportunity in a better side.
I’d prefer him at 7, he’s going to have less responsibility next season w Burton and will be able to play to his strengths more (running)
The 7,6,9 tweet he is replying back to a comment on BBO best position
gus said they training Averillo to be a 7. BBO will get time in reserve grade at 7 or 6 and learn his craft. Im sure he is next cab of the rank is one of the halves get injured
