I think this year has shown that Dunster has no future on the wing with that injury completely reducing his speed. He has one year left on his contract before the optional renewal. I think the club has shown he won't get a contract so I think the club should consider a positional swap to see if he has any future.
I have watched his stats and NSW cup games closely to realise he still has something to offer. His carry's are still pretty strong, he makes good defensive reads and has tackled well. He has bulked up post injury. I remember when he first came into reserve grade, he started at centre. So I think he may need to take Luke Lewis' path if he has any future in the NRL. I think for the rest of the year, the club should move him to centre and Cini to the wing. See if Dunster has the defence to read and tackle well plus if he can set up his winger. Cini is better on the wing where he actully played NRL so he does not need to defend and use the alright pace he has. I would even consider a spot in the backrow for Dunster. However, this is a postion our cup team and juniors our stacked on so I do not see it happening.
Overall, I think a positional experiment to centre is something we should consider espcially since we got no juniors or talents in the outside backs that will be affected by this change. Just give it a go, because at this rate he wont be resigned anyway.

I think your right and I think the club would be aware of his limitations at this point
Yeah Centre could be the way to go for him.
