OK I'll deal with you first. All things are relative and I was clearly being a bit experimental - as I'm about to point out to popstart I thought I'd made that obvious.

I'm not for one second suggesting Anakin can slip a ball out like Gene Miles - however when you compare him to Lyne or Arundel it doesn't look quite so daft. It's just a suggestion that's all.

Do you recall Roger Kenworthy? Came to us as an out and out winger, not a position renowned for players with a passing game. Kelly put him at scrum half and IMHO was one of the best we have had.

You never know til you try - obviously in a friendly not a real game. That's assuming Anakin was even up for it.

Quote: gowerthegroap "Right back at me?! Haha. How old are you?!

Oh I watched Chris Annakin alright, many times as a junior. And all seeing one, I align myself to your infinite knowlege that he's nothing like the same style of player we both watched back then. That said, and correct me if I'm wrong won't you, but I struggle to remember him throwing a pass since then. But if that's what we're looking for from our centres, I'm all for it...

So, how do I say it? Right back at you?...'"

Quote: PopTart "Vasty you've got to be on the wind up there with Annakin. Has Belly stolen your password?'"


It's called thinking outside the box as they say. I thought I'd made that abundantly clear, would you like me to bold it in future?

Considering your endless attempts to defend Webster, Sammut, Kirke and other crimes against RL last season I would knock anyone else's ideas if I were you eusa_whistle.gif

Annakin to centre would be a car crash. Bags of effort and heart and cracking in the middle of the field but the thought of him defending in the centre, against simply isn't realistic.

I think Smith sees a lot in Lynn. I would not be shocked to see him run out as starting centre next year despite his indifferent form in 2015.

Arona sounds like a good signing and may be one for the loose forward position with his footwork, mobility and passing game according to what's being said about him. At 5ft 10 and 16 stone 10 he sounds as though he's a wrecking ball shape.

Hope it works out and looking forward to see him play.

Thanks for your input icon_rolleyes.gif

Funny thing is you could well be right about Anakin but I think you are miles off on Lyne and I personally don;t think he sees anything in Lyn but I can't claim to be wired into the mainframe on that one. eusa_think.gif

Time will tell. You cannot deny Lynn's ability and potential but he just seems to be missing that something that fits all the pieces of the jigsaw together.

Smith has bags of opportunity to drop Lynn for off field reasons but stuck with him.

If you are going to look at putting a forward in the backs Anthony Toupou would be the best candidate in my opinion.

I think Arona looks and measures up a lot like Taulima Tautai did when he came over but with better pedigree.

I hope we are ready to lock him up on a long contract if and when he proves how good he is, Wigan, Sts and Leeds will all be watching with interest to see if we uncover another quality X-player!

Think Arona is shorter and stockier than Tautai....

Woah there.
Webster maybe
Sammut not really but tried to see his best position
Kirke absolutely never.

But anyway, if you want credit for thinking outside the box ok, but I personally don't see Annakin as a centre.
If he's got this far in his career and never played there, I doubt he will now.

Looks like he was nominated for Cronulla player of year 2014.
And the clips I've seen show him playing 13 for Roosters which is where he played under Smith.
