Reply to your own posts that you’ve gone MIA on champ, then and only then might I read your reply on someone else’s behalf. It’s cute though
I'm glad you find being called out for asking a dumb question where you have intentionally ignored half the persons statement cute
I assume you mean this old chestnut?
On your point I still didn’t see anything that suggests Tracey is an ok option at centre. Zzzz
We all know what Tracey is doing well, can you explain what he needs to do better to be an ok option at centre
I don’t think there is anything he can do tbh.. it is what it is, not everyone can play another position. I just hope he’s not first pick at centre next year as he is now, I don’t see what he brings for us there. Maybe he trains and gets better there in the preseason not sure.
I like him at wing because his energy isn’t wasted, he’s quick, has more space usually especially on kick returns, his defence is suss at times worry about him against bigger centres and he doesn’t have to pass if he’s at wing.
Let me flick the question back to you, in the last two games what has he done to say he’s ok there ?
I just think
it is what it is champ, that cute enough for you?
Maybe I'd have answered you at the time if your answer to me hadn't opened with it is what it is, given a confusing half arsed response, then tried to throw it back at me.
I remember looking at it and thinking I'm too busy right now to unpack that. Sorry I left you hanging, I didn't realise you needed my response so badly you're still worried about it.
Let's unpack...
I don't think there is anything he can do tbh... it is what it is (not really an answer, you must have an issue with some element of his game there? TBH I pretty much gave up as soon as I read 'it is what it is')
maybe he trains and gets better there in the preseason (ah yeah... so he can be okay there if he gets better there, sure... I agree?)
I like him at wing because his energy isn’t wasted, he’s quick, has more space usually especially on kick returns (so he can't be an okay centre because you like him somewhere else better?)
his defence is suss at times (so better defence is your answer?)
and he doesn’t have to pass if he’s at wing (so you think his passing isn't good enough to be an
okay centre?)
So is the concise version of your answer 'he needs to train there more so he can improve his defence and passing and then he could be an okay centre, but you prefer him on the wing. You hope come round 1 we have a better 2nd choice centre than Tracey'?
If so my answer is that I agree with that statement, I definitely think he needs a full offseason and trials there if he is any chance of being a round 1 centre, to improve his combos and defence.
I think the energy he brings he has still been able to show at centre and can be used to our advantage with different looks such as two centres on one side (like Turbo in SOO) and even swapping out to wing at times to create different match ups.
He does bring the ball back well although also takes tough hitups well and isn't afraid to come in from centre to take these runs. Ronnie and Sione also bring the ball back fairly well I don't think Connor is significantly better there.
I'm not terribly excited about him starting at centre but it appears to be our second best option after Ramien currently, and has potential. I don't think he becomes and elite centre but should be able to be an okay one with some practice.
I'd like to see a better option stand out and Tracey be our 14.
I hope you can finally sleep at night, champ
