Montoya at Centre

[James zac]

I want to see lachlan Lewis back in any capacity but was thinking he'd be a good centre, better than Holland, better than Montoya.

Lewis needs to bulk up he’s a lock at best

 

[B-Train]

Is this a thread about Montoya or Lewis?

Montoya has run really hard and made good metres the last few games but still makes his customary errors and never looks to pass. This week will be the real indicator of how he's performing.

 

[TABOO]

Credit where it's due, the stint in reggies has worked great for Monty; he has played better ten fold.
As mentioned, same case for Fualalo.

When has he played fullback and Centre in First grade?

Reggie’s is professional football.

 

[JUNKYARD DOGS]

Yeah mate Lewis has the heart and ticker for first grade. It's up to Pay to figure out his succession plan for him... it has to be lock. He has proven that he can handle it defensively.

Coaches have a lot of say in the way someone plays (who knew) such as players like Granville who I know have been told to not run.
Lewis needs to be in the team somewhere for us to get the best out of him in the coming years. More games he plays with top class players the better.

People do realise that in today’s game a Lock is a third prop so Lewis will need to add about 30kgs lol

This isn’t 80s or 90s Wayne Pearce or Nik Kosef era

Absolute rubbish

 

[Big M]

Definitely on the improve, the whole teams attitude was better except for Hoppa who did fuck all.

Did you think that at 16 nil down?

Read my signature, I knew it wasn't over yet with plenty of time on the clock.

Montoya didn't have enough pace over distance to play winger but seems better suited to centre. He's got a nice little burst of pace with good acceleration and he's trying to muscle up in defence. Maybe Pay saw something that I couldn't but still too early to tell. Holland had a few diamonds amongst his (mainly) rocks too.

You can add service from dummy half to vision and tackling. No one knows how Lewis will go at that. We have seen how debilitating bad service is from Lichaa.

Guess we will never know until it’s tried. If Pay ever goes back to using a utility it would be good to see how he goes for 20 mins. In saying that our bench should be 4x forward interchanges like the team that faved the Titans.

Yeah mate. I hope he doesn't get pigeon holed as a half who never made it. He lifted us last season, that proved he deserves to be in the team long term.

 

[speedy2460]

Montoya playing better but still not the answer. But it’s what we have got.

Montoya is better suited to the centre. At least he can concentrate on his own game and not be there to cover for Hopoate's defensive liabilities.

 

[Delta]

Put Lewis at centre and he will be forced to run the ball. What else could he do? Kick everytime he gets it? Might be a good way to make him use his running game. Take some pressure off so he doesn't have to kick.
