yeah but I think Miller might off a bit off a difference in other areas, kick returns, turning half breaks into actual breaks with his speed.
He might not have the same ball playing skills as Kennedy but he's probably been training enough with us to be as ready as he'll ever be.
If we were going to lose a spine player for 5 weeks Kennedy is my first option to pick from over the others.
Yeah swapped into 6 for a bit but has swapped back to FB now.Nico needs to stay at 7
He could do the job very very well at FB but long term for us overall he is best to stay put.
Miller is a FB, has speed and I think he would back up better through the middle (over Will).
He has also been playing some games at 6 IIRC for the Jets so better option with ball playing (over Tracey) added to his skill set.
I get what you're saying... the argument for Nicho at 1 is that it's the strongest side you could field. Trindall is more seasoned and Nicho has a lot of fullback form on the resume. And he'd play a Teddy role more than a Paps/Drinkwater role in any case I'd say, coming in as an extra playmaker and kicker.I actually would rather a Dykes or a Iro over moving Hynes. Even Tracey tbh.
Hynes is our long term halfback, let him keep playing there. If we slide down the 8 a little so be it but keeps our halves combo together and everything ticking along ready for Will to slot back in.
I think I like Hynes at halfback more than most seem to. I don't want to move Hynes... why change half our spine when we can just change a quarter.
I think he'll be just fine in this area too .He might not have the same ball playing skills as Kennedy but he's probably been training enough with us to be as ready as he'll ever be.
We got smashed 30-10 by the Raiders last time he played fullback, our equal biggest loss of the seasonI get what you're saying... the argument for Nicho at 1 is that it's the strongest side you could field.

My own devil's advocate... Nicho would benefit a lot from playing the finals as a number 7. Hmm...
I think he can catch, its just that he needs to be in the right position.What we're going to miss most with Kennedy is the stuff you take for granted - the organisation and positioning in defense.
From memory Miller let more than one bomb bounce in Coffs... lets hope he's learned how to catch.
Depends whether Miller is putting in a gold medal performanceIf it’s a 5-6 week recovery, come finals times and Miller is doing well.
Do we bring Kennedy back in?
Because of Nicho? There's been a few close to that result where he was at 7. We lost against the Roosters 36-16 two weeks later. I don't think you can draw a line between the two.We got smashed 30-10 by the Raiders last time he played fullback, our equal biggest loss of the season
And confirming he was a beach sprinter, right?Depends whether Miller is putting in a gold medal performance
I didn't want Nicho moved to 1 and we lost badly, I'm drawing loads of lines!Because of Nicho? There's been a few close to that result where he was at 7. We lost against the Roosters 36-16 two weeks later. I don't think you can draw a line between the two.
