Naden is poor at centre, cant setup JAC to save his life and is a massive ball hog. He will put of the exact same numbers + more off the wing and we can actually play a centre that wont starve JAC of the ball.
Yes he is a ball hog hence JAC not crossing, few times there all it took was a pass from naden and te fox would of gone over. I’m not a fan as yet.

Maybe we could play Averillo there. Cause he sure as shit isn’t a half!

A few times we created an overlap or got a tonne of space down that side and instead of giving Fox early ball, he ran to the other sideline and crabbed across field for no reason. He hogs it way too often. The only time Fox got the ball was when he ran from dummy half or Burton cut Naden out.

Chotrich has been shit this season. Letting him go was a smart move. He's average at best and has gotten way worse the last few seasons... Okunbur definitely needs to be dropped. Naden to wing, Schoupp to centre. It's an easy fix to a glaring issue.
We are very light on in the centres...lacking pace if Schopenhauer and Burns play there

He was good in round 1 and didn't play this round due to calf strain or something

If Naden went to the right wing then Burns needs to go to left centre inside JAC rather than I assume Schoupp, JAC looks a bit out of sorts/frustrated needs to cross the stripe asap to give himself and the team an extra lift.
Not sure shifting Naden will happen though.

We got rid of Cotric as we couldn't have 1.1 mill of our cap tied up on wingers. I think everyone would agree that The Fox brings much more to the squad in terms of leadership than what Cotric does

He’s played one game and scored in a winning team lol

He didn't score. He had a try assist and 11 runs for 70 metres with 16 post contact metres. He's not worth what he's on. He's better than Okunbur obviously, but anyone is. People shouldn't lose sleep over losing Cotric. We'll be better off for it in the long run as frustrating as it is watching Okunbur right now.

I'm not a fan of our club consistently trying to turn wingers into centres.

The main reason with that is the winger turned centre very rarely passes and it's because they aren't used to doing it. Why we don't use specialist centres is beyond me.

Will Hopoate who at his best had very slick hands was also a ball hog, why do we always starve our wingers of any ball. The one player that shouldn't be getting the ball that often is Okunbor and he seems to get it everytime

Isn’t Cotric injured again too? He’s starting to have real trouble staying on the field now.
