Sivo is knocking on but he's been class for a while.

I think a back line of

Miller
Hall
Handley
Newman
Sivo

With Connor / Edgell / Lumb /McCormack/ etc as cover is better and more reliable than we have had for a long time.

The go forward in those early tackles shoukd be much better and really help out the forwards

The thing to remember about Sivo is that his try scoring record his unbelievable. Not far off one a game competing with the big beasts in the NRL. If we can't (assuming he comes) get 20 tries out of him next season something is very wrong. I'll be able to live with a few errors in return. Agree with you regards Connor.

Sivos try scoring highlights seem to mainly show him getting on the end of passes to finish from close range. Not saying it's easy but he doesn't seem to create much himself ie from range and our 6, 7 and 1 need to combine well to make the best use of sivo and Hall.

I'd watch a couple of games, or at least the extended highlights. 15 metres from the line he's not just a full backs nightmare he's a wing, centre and full backs nightmare. Agree though, Arthur set up his left side well enough to insure he had a number of walk ins, but any wingers highlight reel has a lot of those.

McDonnell to centre good grief FYI Jenkins was one of the fastest 19year olds over 100m in Australia he could probably give McDonnell half a pitch start and still beat him over the other side a good grafter ill give you.

Yeah but we are talking about McDonnell covering centre if. If a starting centre gets injured. We should not carry a back on the bench, if a back isn’t fit then he doesn’t play. If you want to move Jenkins to centre over McDonnell if we get an injury that’s fine as well. However, if Jenkins is going to come as a prop who can cover back row then I’d probs move a back row one out to centre over him.

Don't we have Connor and a few kids that coukd cover before resorting to jamming back rowers in every spot

I think he's on about in game

Ah ok.
Makes more sense

Sivo is looking increasingly likely presumably with Momorovski making way. I’m not a technician but we would have 3 left wingers. If Handley moves to centre, who plays left/right wing and is it much of a transition to switch wings? Presumably the wingers would prefer Handley or even Jake as their centre rather than Newman!

I think Hall can play RW which he did whilst in the NRL without scoring a try in the year he was there I might add.

hall played RW at the start of his rhinos career.

And played there for England

I'd have Handley with with Sivo on the left. Nice combination of pace and power. In the early part of the year, when Ash was with Momirovski he did a lot of damage from centre, so confident he can adapt with a scary foil in Sivo. Ryan could be just what Newman needs on the right. A calming voice and somebody he respects enough to provide good ball to.
