Look what the sharks did with Wade Graham. Takairangi has the ball skills and size to make a transition to the back row. His knees will also benefit and he actually might string a couple of consecutive games since the backrow requires less reaction compared to the centers.
Our team lineup would then be
1. Clint Gutherson
2. Semi
3. Jennings
4. Kirisome
5. Bevan French
6. Will Smith
7. Norman
8. Matagi
9. De Gois /Kaysa
10. Mannah
11. Manu
12. Moeroa
13. Brown
14. Takairangi
15. Vave
16. Alvaro
17. Kenny

Beau Scott needs to be there you numbnut
Are you saying Taka needs 5kgs or someone else, as he is 108kg, 6'4'' and taller and heavier then Ma'u and Moeroa, and many edge backrowers in the game. From what I have seen of him this year he looks even heavier then 108kg. The way things are tracking he looks like he could end up in the forwards as he has lost that sharpness and pace.
I actually like Brad although he has his limitations.
He could always fill in a position in the 2nd row as a makeshift for a game or two but he isn't hard enough, doesn't have the work rate, isn't fit enough, aggressive enough nor nasty enough to be a forward.
