Who plays 6 next year?

There has been a bit of discussion about the make up of a the side next year but one position that appears up for grabs is 6. Who would you put there? Does Norman get one final crack at it? Do you continue with Salmon and see if that combo works with Moses? Personally I struggle to find a position for Gutherson next year, but I always thought that he made a decent 6. High energy, good support player who plays nice and direct. He also has a good pass in him. I’d probably give him the 6 jersey if I were Arthur.Thoughts?

  • Moses was recruited to be 7 but has not shown any evidence of being a 7 yet.
    We have a number of players who can play 6. The main problem for me is who plays 7. Will Dylan Brown come through and claim it? But unlikely to be ready next year.
    • I’ve heard he has def been marked as a future first grader but as for next year I think it’s certain Moses will retain the 7.
  • This offseason, unlike many others, will throw up some seriously different lineup posts.

  • Brown is not far off WE.
    • If We are going to have a rookie spine we had better get a bigger more aggressive middle. Taupau would be worth it if in this case if can keep up the form he showed last year

  • I hope Brown gets a taste of NRL next year, both Dosey and Moses are off contract at the end of 2019 and both should be moved on. Brown sounds like he has ability and with a good 5/8 could be better than what we have now. And let's not get another dickhead or show pony, we just need an honest footballer that is proud to wear our jersey.

    • Isn't MM contracted to the end of 2020
      • I could be wrong, Zero Tackle has his contract ending 2019 but that doesn't mean much.

  • If Norman is still with us he'll likely get first shot.

    Can't find a spot for Gutherson ?

    Are you serious ?

    He'll start at left centre as he did for the last few rounds.

    • I didn’t word that but as I should. Gutherson has to be in the side somewhere but I struggle at to his best position. I don’t think he is a centre though. The best centres in the modern game are strike players like Mitchell, Chambers and Kata etc. Gutherson plays his best footy around the ball not on an edge.

"He'll get a debut at some point, but probably not round 1. He's not ahead of Junior, Tuivaiti, Walker, Hopgood, Guymer, Moretti or JDB. And that's not a knock on the kid. It's just he's hardly played NSW Cup and last year's forwards deserve first…"
