It was up against Aitken as well, not much better defensive centres around.

Good point.

Worth comparing to the try he scored in the first game on the left. He scored, but it was just through some shabby tackling that he managed to break. Carrying the ball in his right hand all the time means he struggles to offload on the left edge and he tends to decelerate on the left as well. On the right he hits it at pace and always keeps that right arm free.

That right there is why Bird should have a crack at centre Flano.

EDIT: And why he's better on the right rather than the left.
also why barba should be fullback for the sake of the best make up of the team

Barba looks quicker and better on his feet then last year

Been listening to Gal's commentary on Triple M. He said that in his opinion Barba is ahead of Bird and Val for the fullback position.

Based on today only round 1 should be Bird right centre, Barba fullback, Chad half back.

Good to see we have hooker depth too.
