Opinion Why not put Lewis in the centres?

[James zac]

Better as a lock too slow for center reminds me of Simon gillies

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Britts last two games have been terrible - missed a lot of tackles against St George - unless in the middle he appears to lack the lateral movement n speed to defend one on one. Lewis on the bench, at best, just to do as much defensive work as possible instead of Britt.

Britts first up contact is abysmal..like seriously bad.

Britt went well in the trials and in the first game - but his last games have ben horrible - and show why he is a NSW Cup / bench forward at best - a depth signing? He cant defend wide of the ruck, may as well have another back on the bench who can defend.

I originally didn't want this signing but came around to him after the trials...looks like I was right about him in the beginning and like you said he's reserve grade quality at best. I'm still scratching my head trying to work out how he got more minutea than To'omaga.

Maybe it's time we give Katoa an opportunity off the bench at hooker? I don't rate him in the slightest but he may give us a bit of spark from dh. JMK can also shift to lock for a period of time and give us a little more pace through the middle while handling the defensive duties better than most other options.

Will need a new centre when Reimis gets a weeks suspension also Holland out for a week with injury.

Harper? DWZ centre Crichton wing? Suprise debut to Topine but he probably still doesn't have a development contract and can't play lol. Yh we don't have many options...

Glad I wasn’t the only who noticed this. He is average at best. You can see why he was on the fringes at the storm and Souths. He will retain his spot because we won.

Tass could also be a option I guess. What are the chances of complete reshuffle with DWZ to fullback and Hoppa to centre with Crichton to wing.........

Surely he wouldn't lol

 

[Spoonman84]

Hoppa HAS to stay at fullback.

Holland will be the easiest and cause the most disruptions this week at a guess. I’d go with Harper leaving Holland where he is.

 

[LFC Bulldogs]

Here's another idea

Why not put lewis either on the bench, or better yet out of the team

Exactly. What makes him entitled that he must remain in the team . If there are better options then they should start ahead of him.

If Holland is out and Harper has signed at Manly I'd go with Tass. I don't see the point of giving Harper game time if he's gone next year.

Fark Harper and his Porn Star tash..

100% agree. Just might be the wrong team to debut against. I did think of that but the Chooks is a tough ask.
In saying that why the fk not I guess haha

 

[Moedogg]

I just can't believe how bad the standards have dropped when a halfback is unable to do the most basic of the required skillset which is to pass the ball and link up with your outside backs. Even Kris Keating could pull it off.

Surely DWZ to centre and Crichton wing causes least interruptions.Wakeham to bench

DWZ is so good on the wing and genuinely offers more to the team from there than anywhere else imo. Really hope we don't move him but I guess we might have to.

What about Schoupp? Is he even training the top squad at this stage? Honestly don't know much about him other than him supposedly being highly rated.

 

[Big M]

Lewis to centre,Wakeham to half

 

[Grunthos]

Wayyyy to slow!
I think his future will be somewhere in the forwards purely on the strength of his defence.
