Semi's support play has evolved beyond that of a winger. His tries tonight should have been scored by our fullback, but he came in from his wing and looked for the ball and injected himself into the position to score. I would not be surprised at all if he ends becoming a fullback sometime in the future. His defence is also improving and he's safe under the high ball. I'm not necessarily saying he should become our fullback, but I think he has the potential. If we have to pay him big money to keep him, moving him to fullback would justify the contract.

Semi plays several positions.A few times I am sure I saw Jennings on the wing.
Semi may start on the wing but I think I saw him play centre, second row and full back throughout the game
Yep I see him at fullback next year if not earlier.
You probably can't justify the $500k+ for a winger, but you can for a fullback. Brad Arthur is using him so intelligently, by letting him drift around the park, and it means we're getting much more value out of him than you would for your typical winger. Just brilliant stuff.
The hybrid play we put him through tonight was superb. Just saying as well, if there was ever a winger you would consider breaking the bank for it would be Semi.
If rugby come calling trying to get Semi to change maybe marquee player fund could be used to top up his pay.
Isn't this what it is for, really, he is worth $500k but you cannot justify that for a winger, even one as good as he is. The best winger in comp by a country mile.
