Talking about Greg Inglis:

Bellamy feels his future may lay closer to the action.

"I can see him developing into a five-eighth," Bellamy said.

"He has great skills and a real good sense for the game. There are attributes that are quite obvious to everyone, like his pace and his ability to glide across the field.

"He is a strong defender as well, so I can definitely see him developing into a five-eighth."

From left field for me....never thought of inglis as a play maker....whats everyons thoughts on him at 5/8?

I can see him at 5/8, With Bellamy saying this, and the article in the paper the other day about Hill, Im doubtful Scott Hill will be re-signed when he comes off contract.

I was actually thinking about this the other day.

IMO he will probably finish his career as a 5/8.

Daley, Fittler, Inglis.

Too good to be centres!

Agreed.... But not in the forseeable future.

Bellamy is probably trying to deflect the two top fullbacks issue.

then why did geyer play 5/8 on the weekend? if he thinks inglis would go good there why didnt he put turner at fullback, and put smith samau on the wing?

Experince?

When you have a new halfback still finding his feet and having spent most of the off season with Geyer working with you at 5/8 might have been the reason.

yeah true that SW.

Well lets face it White would be a better 5/8th than the one we have been persisting with!

Aw come on... at least leave the Hill-bashing for when he actually plays...

uh Hill won't be around forever so we have to at least start training a heaven forbid replacment.

Kingy, have you seen Smith Samau play?

I haven't but I did see him training with the guys at Hindmarsh on Friday and to be honest he did not look very confident, and that was only at training. I'd say he's got a way to go before he'll be ready for NRL.

No havent seen him play.

And fair enough if he was lacking confidence or wasnt ready for teh next step up then leaving him out is just fine, but they were talking him up in an article on the storm site and i just assumed he was ready for a crack.

I think someone with the speed and agility of Inglis in the centres is a great idea...

From mind an attacking 5/8th is whats been missing from our side over the last few seasons, Hills got too much of the game breaker in him, one way or the other

Hill works better with shitty halfs like Kimmorley

He's certainly got the ball skills to play 5/8 but I think he'll only line up there in cetain situations i.e. restarts from taps and penalties, in the red-zone.

I'm not buying the talk he's not a centre. I think his form was down due to the hip-injury he suffered against in the first minute against the Roosters. He has to get his hands on the ball as many times as possible and at fullback your relying much more on other people to make the break and then get you the ball.
