Quote: Dave K. "I wouldn't be shocked to see Crooks leave. If he is likely to leave at the end of next season than maybe getting a transfer fee would be the best option. Big loss IMO as we lack so much pace in the centre position and too play Sa and Yeaman would be very depressing. I'd be tempted to give Rankin a go at centre in pre season.'"

With another back-rower coming in maybe Whiting could move to centre full time.

You mentioned in the rumours thread the signing of a centre. I have no idea who it could be but he me might have some pace.

Whiting a centre, please no! Our backs are already seriously slow.

Young players like Crooks should be kept at FC, it goes against what we are trying to achieve under our youth/development structure, although he isn't the finished article he is a very good talent with a good strike rate, another journeyman coming in then.

He was a stand off when I played against him

We are of that opinion - Rankin to centre, would be a great move IMO

Rankin's a fullback. Not a centre.

The same old adage was probably spotted on his size, strength and how many tries he scored.

Surprising how many young kids can't pass and have poor core skills but still make the grade.

That and the fact he was probably played out of position his whole youth career for one reason or another.

Gary Connolly managed to adapt pretty well. Greg Inglis does ok at both. Darius Boyd did ok until the depression. I'm see no reason Rankin couldn't become a great centre for us, although I can't see it as we've already signed an NRL centre.

Berrigan-esque, this conversation. Just got excited after his couple of games at centre then it was all whisked away.

Don't mean to be pedantic but Boyd is a fullback for his club and winger for Origin/Australia. Although I agree that I could see him working there but we another centre signed apparently it won't happen.

If Rankin pairs up better with Sneyd, Pryce could always play in the centre I know he isn't as fast as he was but with a decent speedy winger outside of him, we know he is more then capable of putting him away.

Should't make much difference.
The W.C winning team had (with one exception) a backline of club fullbacks
Slater, Boyd, Inglis, Hayne with Morris being the odd one out.
Although I do think Rankin isn't big enough t.b.f - bulk him up??????
