I don’t see it as a natural progression to I’ve sifa to the back row. I see it way more natural to lose a backrower and replace them with a backrower. That seems a bit more logical. Take Fitzgibbon from newy. Don’t buy into the best rumour - it’s complete and utter bs.
I’d rather Fitzgibbon from newy than bes

Edge and centre seem reasonably flexible to me. Good players who have enough size and athleticism combined can do it. Aitken at the Dolphins, luke Lewis, Chris Lawrence, Capewell off the top of my head. Best is young and he’s bigger than Teig.

Can't help but think Best would be Pom 2.0.

Edit: And that would be too much for my blood pressure.

I love sifa in the centres he has changed games with his hands and strength for us in the edges

He’s rare, would hate to see him be moved.

They aren’t many centres at all that I would play over sifa

As much as I like Friz and wish we never let him go, I am not sure we should get another player at the back end of his career.

We have nobody coming through whose ready to take the 12 jersey. We need to go to the market if we lose Wilton. Getting Frizzell for 2 years shows there is a spot for someone in our new cup/juniors there will be a spot free. The best of the crop takes it. He wouldn't break the bank either.

I'm not completely sold on Best, but I don't hate the idea of him and sifa causing havoc on the same edge. Sifa could still use his soft hands to put Best into space if he was three in.

I am surprised that Iro isn't being touted as next man in if Sifa was to move to edge forward. Much rather promote from within than get someone from Newy. That team is aids.

I can't see friz being cheap, last contract, probably go to the biggest bidder
