I honestly don’t get this Tracey as a bench utility.
He doesn’t really have that X factor and hasn’t shown a great deal when playing in the halves.
So really Tracey in the 14 jersey is more for “backs cover” and I’m sure it could be better used.
I get what you are saying but just about everybody values a 14 for different reasons.

As he can cover so many positions it allows the coach to have flexibility to manoeuvre the squad within the 17 if we have injured players

Personally, I love Connor for all the effort areas, I admit he’s not elite in any set position but having him in your squad can see him cover 1-5, to a lesser degree, 6,7 & 9.

Thee way the game is @ present having him as a 13 sniffing around the middle late in halves when the opposing forwards are gassed could also see him create, I concede, I would only use him in that position for 5-10 spirts cause I do think he would get found out eventually by the opposing team if he was there any longer.

Fitzy talks a lot about what players do off the ball. I get a sense he sees and likes what Connor does in our backline to make the whole backline better.

It may be in defence of attack or both, but if he improves out backline as system then I am happy for him to get a fair crack there…. even if we don’t see too much individual brilliance.

Farnworrh is a gun.
Strong, fast, great line runner and can draw and pass.
Partnership of him and Ramien in the centres would be ideal.
Allow Tracey be bench utility again
Doubt Tracey wants to go from a starting centre to a bench utility, especially assuming he keeps going well

Yep, and could be why Mr Hunt is in RG.

Euan Aitken has told the warriors he will be remaining in Australia after this season. Was signed till end of next year but stated he wants to be close to family.
With nikora leaving I think we should chase this bloke for the 11 jersey.

I don’t rate him as a centre but as a second rower he has really come into his own I reckon.

I’d take him, he definitely plays a lot better in the second row. The games that he played for the warriors at the back end of last year **** on the output we get from nikora.
