I believe, though most disagree with me, he should be playing as a 13, or at least be developed into a 13.
I don't necessarily disagree with you ... i see where you are coming from. He certainly has a game and build to handle that position.

Just want to see a lot more of him in the centres, as we have such a dearth of talent in that position right throughout the club.

For a number of years the doggies junior rep sides seemed to have second rowers playing centre. Goes back to the Hasler cleal years. Eli Clarke is one of the few genuine centres to have come through. Regardless of position Alamoti and kiraz need game time. Hopefully in first grade sooner rather than later.

He was good but he's way too erratic to play halfback at this stage, runs himself and others out of space often and really needs more time in reserves to develop some control. Wakeham played the more steady hand anyway while our halves setup in reserves is different to what we run with in first grade and im really not sure why.
Agree about BBO.

looking for the big play way too often.

Looking at our possible roster for 2023, we have planty of good forwards, TPJ, Kikau, Thompson, King Hetherington, possibly Vaughn (I'd re-sign him), hopefully " Patalo, Durie, RFM, but as for Waddle and JJ m,m,m.
However in the backs apart from Burton and JAC, and perhaps Schoup, we have little to cheer about, unless Alamoti, Kiraz, and Toya step up, also we badly need a No.7 and just hope and pray that Reed dosen't get hurt

Let him develop as a centre that is his position at the moment
