I feel if our centres get injured the club is in serious trouble,selling Lee to the titans has left us thin very thin, you need experience depth

Plenty of options, Montoya to centre and Holland the next best winger fixing our goal kicking?

There's a shortage of specialist centres in the NRL. But yes our outside back depth is poor at this stage, no real experience or highly rated kids there.

We have young Anderson, Okunbar, Carr, Smith and yes even Holland who can at the very least fill in. I have no problem with blooding a good young bloke if the Morris' or Hoppa goes down. It's time we let some of these young blokes show us what they've got and if they get an opp they should grab it with both hands.

The above names have they ever done anything in reserves to deserve a chance?

Lee can't defend for shit and Phillips can't catch the ball.

Well if a wingers job is to score tries then both Holland and Smith have done theirs well. the other blokes haven't been given a shot at top grade so its hard to tell how they would go but all of them go pretty well in the lower grades. Okunbar is fresh from the 20's but he is a giant and has been training with the FG squad this year and I think will develop into a handy player. The game I saw Carr play he looked good. Haven't seen Anderson but he has some raps on him.

Every position we have covered but the centres definitely not, simply you don’t release Lee without a option , don’t rely on Morris boys older and prone to injury

Lee is never going to make a gun centre. His decision making is so poor and with even worse defence he is just too much of a liability. Yes, he can pop a ball and has a good step but its not enough in this day and age.
