Faaaaaaaaark. It was highlighted 3 years ago that we had only ONE NRL proven centre in our squad. Now we have none...

This is potentially season-derailing.

and Jeremy Hawkins did his hammy again so cant debut him

well whoever comes in might at least pass the ball

I say debut suli and play him on marikas side ..two Fijians then have Richie and young together two Victorians
play munster at 5 / 8 and Hampton at fb and green on the bench ...just to mix it up a bit

I hope Tohu has enjoyed his time at centre as he is about to get some more time there.

Hampton at fullback over Munster?

Not all drugs are bad, but having an opinion to change things up should be encouraged.

During the Dogs game. He played out the game assuming he just rolled his ankle badly. Tough, but probably didn't help.

Suddenly going after Beale and Locke doesn't sound like such a bad idea.

Hampton is either a fullback or halfback not a centre

Munster can literally play anywhere

I still don't see where Locke fits in the picture. I'm fairly certain Munster is our best pick at FB so if the plan is to play Locke at centre/wing, do we know if he's any good there?

And he's nothing special in either role

we lose more by moving Munster from fullback than we gain by putting him at centre.

Since Locke is recovering from a shoulder reconstruction, I doubt we are after him. It seems to be the same few media outlets just regurgitating names that we are supposedly after i.e the mole, lurker etc than being reported again by other news outlets.

Ben Ikin mentions on 360 we "should" go after Juz e and than its reported by fox sports as if we are (and since he wanted out, I doubt he is coming back).

Same with Waqa - who I thought was only being released by Raiders at the cut off date to play in France.

And please God NO to Nielsen. We got the best out of him, he's done.

I imagine Kennar and Blair if he stays injury free will play centres unless someone is pushed out at another club we can pick up. (Got a feeling Dragon fans would pay us to take Mann back :-D )

Unless Billy makes a miraculous recovery Munster is Fullback. Absolutely no way we move him!!!

With all these injuries, you honestly have to think someone at the club slaughtered a bunch of black cats under a ladder with broken mirror shards. FMD! seriously!

The other options are to look at state leagues and under 20s teams for a player. Didn't Matt Greive play some trials with us? Maybe he's an option.
