    If we re-sign Hayne he is definitely our fullback.

      If he is re-signed only because Jennings gets his Newcastle contract, then I think it'll be pretty clear Hayne will be a centre. It's a sad state of affairs that the wooden spooners can't even keep their players.

    I don’t know why everyone wants him to be our fullback. He played one game there and did stuff all and we got belted. we rely on him too much there and he starts overplaying his role.

  We are already lacking in the centres big time, if we lose Jennings it will be diabolical for our defense, we put Hayne there and we are left with French at fullback. Put Hayne at FB then who plays centre?Gutherson is too slow for centres, it is a position we have been lacking in for years besides MJ , but he goes down and we are throwing in Taka (too slow) Hoffman (too shite)and even Mau Has been tried.We need specialist centres even average ones are better than second rowers or wingers playing there.

    Centres don't need to be fast these day's, it helps but isn't the key to being a good centre, the ability to defend against set plays is more important.

    I would give Salmon a crack there if we have injury problems but if Jennings is gone I would start with Taka and Gutho.

  Lagos. Terepo is not 2nd row, don’t mind Lane at prop tho
  Terepo brings energy off bench
  I’d start Mannah with Alvaro off bench playing big mins for Jnr

  I don’t mind our line up at all this year. We’ve recruited the best we could in the circumstances. Our problem is still depth in middle forwards but If we have even just a bit of luck with injuries this year I think we will make the semis.

  How disappointing, we sign paulo and fergo, and lose many, and with the real possibility of losing Hayne or Jennings too...we r not in a good position.... BA live and die by your own sword
