Quote: Offside Monkey "But, to be fair, that's one of your strengths.
I do think Soliola is going to play back row, which will strengthen it. I also think you may underestimate Paul Clough.'"
I don't underestimate Clough at all, but he is in my eyes a grater and metre maker only. He's not the type of player to play out wide in the centres as Joel will and bust tackles, score tries and create opportunity's.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with having grafters in your team everyone needs them. But looking at your backrow options I don't see anyone other than Puletua that will cause any sort of great threat running outwide.
You'll know better than me, but I'd hazard a guess that Soliola will in fact play in the centre's more often than not. Even if it's just because Wheeler is out injured most of the time.
Soliola did If I'm not mistaken play for the Roosters in the centres more than in the backrow. Like I say it's tough choice to make, where ever Soliola plays he'll strengthen but likewise where ever he doesn't play will be weakened by his absence.
