I think this will ruin the Dogs season and j actually don't think they are as good as their record suggests. Theyve had some flukey wins. Let's see how all this plays out
Why would you put Iongi, who is getting better and better at Fullback, into 6 and have him learn that position? Why not use Papali'i at 6. Yes he is learning on the job too but better than having both Joash and Iongi learning on the job where Joash at 6, Iongi is settled at the back.
"DCE wants to win a comp in his last years , we are not a chance in hell of him signing with us., Not to mention him growing up beachside, to him geographically , Parramatta would seem like signing to play for Broken Hill."
"By 2027 we could have 2-3 juniours coming through. Alemaddine would be ready by then for example and we can spend the cap on a star left centre. We can still renew him anyway."
"Ryles wants a new Hooker, not sure to compete with Smith or simply have Smith as no.2 or if that has changed since Smith has been starting but seems Ryles wants a Hooker.
Though Mahoney was at Moses' wedding and Moses wants to win, if he feels…"

If true - who do we chase for 6 - or do we promote a junior🤷♂️..
Or a fullback longi could slot in easily
Iongi to 6, Papalii to fullback...

Agree. Papalii is already playing 6 in cup. Just need more experience there before going to FG.
This might be a blessing in disguise.
Why move him? No need to. Fullback is more important than a 6
It's just another option that is all
Short term I think Dylan Walker slots right into the 6 role no problems at all.
