Who plays centre is Auva’a is out?

Late Mail from NRL.comCanberra Raiders v Parramatta Eels, 7.35pm Saturday at GIO StadiumRaiders: Aidan Sezer, Ata Hingano, and Michael Oldfield (all concussion) will be monitored during the week and are expected to play on Saturday.Eels: Kirisome Auva'a is in some doubt with a knee injury. In overdue good news for Parramatta, fullback Clint Gutherson is set to make his return from knee surgery this weekend and Bevan French will be back on the wing after overcoming his shoulder injury.Looking at the squad named, who comes in for the other centre position if Auva’a doesn’t play?Do we see Hoff come in, the Fresh Prince or a makeshift centre in Ma’u??

  • Davis
    • Swampie give yourself an uppercut please.

      • Lucky for Snake it is a prior injury

        I think that means it has to be someone from the 21 namef

        So has to be Hoff

      • If we have to rely on Davis, we are in massive trouble 

    • Nathan Davis 

    • After that shocking game last year Davis should never ever play first grade again.
      • With that metric our round 2 team should all be out

  • Smith to fullback gutho to center. Or god help us mau to center with gower to the bench
  • I feel Gutho & center will take some of the 80 minutes of intense pressure off him which would happen if he was playing fullback. Though he is a bull at the gate roaring to go, he still needs to be eased in to get his timing back and the 80 minutes of NRL match fitness. If his fitness and timing is back maybe look at Nathan Davis playing fullback, interchanging with French & Gutho here and there. A bigger body running the ball back from our end and a back up goal kicker helps. He is not a bad defender and he has experience playing fullback. I don't like him on the wing and I don't think he's a classy center (yet), particularly with defence. Davis needs the opportunity of playing three to four NRL games to find out if he can play NRl at a good standard or not. 

    • Davis is not in the 21 so can't come in.

      Centre for Gutho is a bad idea imo, a centres lateral movement gets tested more than any other position in defense, at fullback he will be able to run straighter lines, even in defense.
