That's been his one and only suggestion so far, says it all really.'"
Cheap and better than what we have currently. People don't agree because they don't want to admit I'm right but I am. If we picked up 2 or 3 solid forwards at the same level as kershaw we'd be a whole lot better

The half back at hooker, the winger at full back, the full back in the centres

Thought him, Ese Ese and Lewis Martin were stand outs.
Separate comment, I noticed
Jed Cartwright at end of the game with his shirt off.
He looks absolutely ripped.
a good sign of our strength and conditioning to come for next season.'"
Ese ese way above anyone else in the team

| As far as Rapana goes, Stuart has mainly selected him at full back this season and the player himself said he's loved it and it's his prefered position for next season.
Zak Hardaker has played centre far more than full back since switiching there for Wigan in 2020 when they signed French.

I just don’t get it though, since when in rugby league have you had to register one position and then stick to it? There’s no rule, It’s just daft to suggest players can’t swap and change positions at different points or evolve to new roles over time. How many grand finals and cups did Leeds win with Sinfield playing at 6? Arguably better at 13 but had long successful spells at 6.
Hardaker is a decent centre. He might have played more at fullback but he’s simply better than what we have at centre. Richie Barnett played almost all his a career as a fullback and was one of our best centres of the modern era. Gary Connolly is another, Greg Inglis, Latrell Mitchell, Joey Manu are off the top of my head and probably hundreds over the years have played both positions well.
Rapana can play fullback. He’s played there this season at NRL level. He has loads of experience and has a strong kick return, it’s a natural progression. If say Moy has an absolute beast of an off season I’m sure we’ll see Rapana on the wing again at some point but he’ll likely start the season as our best fullback.
Cust I’m not going to argue as a great signing, but he can play hooker at decent level. He did for Wigan, I just don’t think that can be argued. Just because you say ‘he’s a halfback’ doesn’t change that, but like I say Cust is an odd one on every level, I think the coach wants him here for whatever reason.

The kid has played every game apart from one I think it was., when those around him were busy getting sent off. He’s tackled his heart out, had to play in numerous positions to cover for others. If his team mates would have put as much in then we may well have done a tad better.
So yes that is why he was voted for.
I’m not saying he’s a world beater either. We all know why we finished bottom , the squad of 50 plus were just not good enough.
Ese Ese outstanding and caught the eye but for all round effort I’d have to agree lane was stand out.

Yes, lots of players change positions but we've signed 2 players at the ends of their careers who have moved away from their long held positions recently. It would have been far better to play hardaker at full back and sign an actual centreminwhat is probably our weakest position. No one is going to convince me, or any other objective person, that hardaker and Chamberlain are anything other than a bottom 2 or 3 superleague centre partnership

Yet the rest of the players disagree with you. Go figure

| Hardraker has played over 100 times at the top level at , think he will be fine, nit sure he has the link play to play fullback anymore.
If Rapana is good enough to play fullback (and play really well) for most of the season in the NRL, I'm sure he will go well there in SL.
Cust is an odd one, but at least Cartwright has coached him and maybe sees that he would be a useful signing at halfback or 9.

Maybe we've obviously realised, we need a full time attack coach.
Id personally go for Ryan Sheridan.
