He's an average NRL winger at best mate imo. I love him but I wouldn't an upgrade.
I think he is a decent one. Very safe under the high ball. Very consistent at getting the ball safely down in the corner for tries aswell imo. Decent returner of the ball aswell.

Mate, I love Feks as much as anyone but even I have to admit he’s not safe under the high ball, far from it, he rarely even makes a leaping play & still drops his fair share of them.

Feki played in the centres in his warriors days so you would think that he could also be an option which then gives noodles and Katoa the wing spots.
Feki over Noodles purely due to NRL experience.

Mate people need to get over this, it's never, ever going to happen.

I agree with HB. I don't think Feki is a realistic option in the centres. If we had that many injuries and the two wingers were fit I reckon it would make sense to leave those blokes in the spots they are comfortable playing. If we actually lost all five centres to injury I would personally go with Lumelume as one centre and a back rower as the other (maybe Williams or Paulo).

I love feki.. but he is pretty one dimensional returning the ball by far his best attribute. Loves dragging his feet along the ground when going for the corners while other top notch finishers somehow get both feet of the ground, the fekstars are always dragging on the ground just a matter if they are over the line or not. That being said as dodgy as he can be under kicks that 50 min of the granny he was rock solid when I siiht myself every time one went up.

I reckon Feki would be a great centre in attack. Wouldn't be too confident with him reading complicated plays in defence though

Can Feki even pass the ball? His defense would get found out in the centres worse than it already does on the wing. Upside would be possibly not having to field so many bombs where he is suss but then we lose his excellent kick returns/hit ups which is his only standout attribute

No for me - he needs to lift his game on the wing or be replaced. I love the bloke but modern teams need athletic wingers who can consistently finish

for the time being feki is locked into one wing spot imo.

and I would leave him there barring major injury crisis.

Good competition for wing spots at the moment. Even though you'd expect Feki to be there Round 1, Gray, Sione and to a lesser extent Lee will be putting all the pressure on him.
He's got to perform.

I mean, I think we'd all be OK with Gray on one wing and Sione on the other if Feki didn't come up to scratch early on.

Feki is a winger. This discussion about him becoming a Centre is a total and complete waste of time. Sosaiah is a winger (and a damn good one too). I love watching his "Samoan sidestep" where he just runs straight through his opponent who invariably needs to bring a clean pair of underpants to change into.

Billy Magoulis would also go well at centre! Has to be somewhere given his talent
