Jenko gone. Waqa out for 4-6, Oldfield out injured too. That leaves Opacic as the only specialist and experienced centre available. Marata did a brilliant and steady job standing in at the last minute but as most are commenting, the heavy field helped him and played into his hands. Against a fleet footed centre he might get burned.
So...whatdowedo? Play an inexperiended winger in Dunster at centre? Or maybe shift Fergo inwards? Can Rankin play at centre? Or is it time to blood young Will Penisini?
Big conundrum for BA to solve.
Personally, I'm not in favour or shifting positions so I'd roll the dice and would give Will his NRL debut next week.

We have nothing to do with wenty anymore he is signed to the Eels nsw cup side
We tried Fergo in the centres and he was useless like tits on a bull and Lafai is on a NSW Cup contract with Parra (not Wenty) and won't be available as he'snot in the top 30. I would play Rankin, he's good and experienced
I wouldn't want to lose Fergos carries out of our end. Dunster too small.
I'd go with either Lafai or blood Penisini.
The opposition will probably kick ealier in some instance if they see Fergo dropping back on the fifth to run it back. I can't see it being as an effective ploy when Taylor and Sterlo would switch between defence and attack.
I like this.... I'd try Penessi.... big wraps on this kid!
Penisini for mine.
We have Lafai in reserve grade. I imagine he'll be called up for next week or we may see a Penisini debut.
You are wrong we have nothing to do with Wenty anymore
Wenty is no more Mack. We have our own Canterbury Cup team now
Are both of them 2 players: Lafai and Penisini eligible to play?
