Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3690667, member: 1899"] It's interesting you say that Sproj because Seibold just came out today and talked about Trbojevic shifting into the halves to replace DCE. I think it's just food for thought at this stage and Seibold has declared Trbojevic will be the fullback heading into 2025. If Trbojevic was to switch to the centres, I think it would be a blow for Manly. I'd see it as an admission that Turbo is slowing down and they're trying to safeguard the future. I think what makes Tom so valuable is that he's effective anywhere on the field. Working it out of trouble, coming in as a support, running a change of angle, working that second-man option etc. Just on Manly, there were a couple of things I neglected to mention. Firstly, one advantage they have is long distance kicking. Not only is DCE one of the best exponents, but Brooks has a quality boot on him as well and Croker can step up as well. There were a number of games last year where the game was in the balance only for the halves to turn momentum, so it's something to be mindful of. The other was the 1-2 punch of Jake Trbojevic and Nathan Brown. Ever since we saw the reductions in interchanges, that ball-playing lock has really come into vogue with Radley and Murray leading the charge. Jake was always a handy option but the emergence of Brown last season proved a real asset for the Sea Eagles. Brown's NRL career appeared all but over at the end of 2023 before Manly threw him a lifeline. It's just a question of whether he can maintain that form. Also good to see some quality contributions from you BroncosFan and Mustafur. I don't really have much to add. Taulagi does have experience in the centres and could be an option there. I just think he'll provide more value working it out of trouble on the wing. They'll need it now that they don't have Kyle Feldt to milk penalties - DWZ maybe the uncrowned penalty milker in '25.
