have you seen where feki is playing in nsw cup although i agree with your opinion

I presume they are playing him on the wing? I would just prefer that when a player is going to make a debut in first grade that it is in their natural position, to make the transition easier

We'll probably be using makeshift wingers either way, happy for Feki to get a run there if he's our best option.

Don't think Feki is a winger myself.

I totally agree with both you guys matt wright isnt a winger either imo, but that doesnt seem to bother flanno and co

I think it bothers his positional play, used to jamming in and trying to shut down the play as a centre, but as a winger doin that and missing the tackle leads to tries for the opposition, playing players out of position is ****

Yep mills has all the skills to be a winger and could convert there full time if need be but matty wright is a centre full stop. I also rate him as a 5/8 but we aren't in short supply.

Happy with that team lineup after round 1 .. Pom had one of his better games .. Best looked good as Carney got him the ball early in space .. Bakuya looked good off the bench .. Wright was poor so he needs to earn his spot again .. I don't think Feki's a winger either but neither are Mills and Wright .. I bet he doesn't care as long as he gets a run .. Good wins in the other sides .. future does look bright

I don't mate. We would go from having a very slow winger to a very slow five eight. Besides we already have a 6 that runs the ball 90% of the time.

Yeah if we're talking 5/8's we already have Carney, Kelly, Graham and I'd even put Walsh in before Wright in that position.

I don't want him at 5/8 but I think that is his second best position, and if we didn't have so many halves he wouldn't be the worst option.

I will argue this again but you couldn't get a slower half than wade, he runs like a prop!

If Bukuya doesn't play then that's mad. I was at the ground sunday as I'm sure many were and you couldn't miss his impact. Seemed to break a lot of tackles.

I say give feki a go see how it goes, it's like a shot and give him a shot next to best, in which would help his playing and experience

Good side. Almost the team I would pick. I'd have Bukuya in there somewhere. Taga was our worst forward on Sunday so I'd give him the shaft for Jayson.
