We were called plodders there for a while, here is our chance to be the comps speedsters and out zip everyone.
Hoppa is too big for fullback, bench him as a utility and use him as a centre or second row.

Meaney needs to work out at fullback ASAP.

We need Hoppa at centre
Hoppa was pretty average at centre.. although I think he was unenthused more than anything

Hoppa isn't a centre... hasn't played there for years before we attempted to play him there.. hence... disaster!

Last played centre in 2015 season, and then start of 2018.

I recall Hopoate was selected as a centre in State of Origin. After about 5 minutes he was shifted to the wing.
He did manage to score a try though.

from memory was that game 2 the year nsw won, and that try earned hoppa about 3 million dollars

I still have nightmares of Holland v Raiders where he literally lost us the game. Croker was made to look like Mal Meninga in his prime and Austin ran around him en route to Raiders winning try on the next play (that loss still hurts)

That said Holland finish to the season was great and his combo with Smith is building nicely

Holland gets a bad rap with most of you but he was much better then what Hopoate showed at center. Hopoate to the wing and Meaney to start at fullback for me.

Holland and Montoya will be the centres next season.
Smith and Crichton / Meaney on the wing.
Hopoate at fullback.

Unless someone blows the doors off in the trials and forces Pay to reshuffle the backline.

He's wrong, but we're still pretty fucked lol. Smith can also play centre but i'd much rather keep him on the wing where i think he is best suited.

How about this as most people don't want Hoppa at centre or fullback and I agree.

1. Meaney
2. Hoppa
3. Holland
4. Smith
5. Cricton

he strikes me as the sorta bloke who at this point is just happy to be out there doing his thing and is in no rush to move... he will most likely be a centre in the not to distant future but right now he's become our best strike weapon on the wing

Well you'd better ring and advise Dean Pay that, because that's from the man himself.

Montoya will be playing centres.
He played a single game there in reserve grade. He isn't starting there at NRL level, no chance.
