Joel Reddy to play right-side?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I can remember Joel Reddy has always been a right-side centre.

NYC report please

NYC Report

I've read the NYC report on the Eels site, but did anyone get out early enough to watch the game. I note Paddy O'Hanlon scored two tries - seems we were let down by errors. Anyone care to share their thoughts on the game?
