Sivo is looking increasingly likely presumably with Momorovski making way. I’m not a technician but we would have 3 left wingers. If Handley moves to centre, who plays left/right wing and is it much of a transition to switch wings? Presumably the wingers would prefer Handley or even Jake as their centre rather than Newman!

I think Hall can play RW which he did whilst in the NRL without scoring a try in the year he was there I might add.

hall played RW at the start of his rhinos career.

I'd have Handley with with Sivo on the left. Nice combination of pace and power. In the early part of the year, when Ash was with Momirovski he did a lot of damage from centre, so confident he can adapt with a scary foil in Sivo. Ryan could be just what Newman needs on the right. A calming voice and somebody he respects enough to provide good ball to.

Sivo outside of Handley will be immense. He'll rip up SL if we provide him with the base. BA clearly knows how to get the best out of him. Hall on the other wing likewise. All of a sudden we have significant attacking threat right across the backline.

Re: Transfer Talk V5 : Sun Oct 20, 2024 6:10 pm  

Yup.
Will be nice to ( hopefully) see what our play makers and hooker can do with more go forward and more strike options

The club are clearly playing the game regarding Sivo's signing announcement as he apparently signed 2 weeks ago
My only concern regarding Handley playing centre is if his defense will be good enough defending the most dangerous area of the field with potentially 3 runners running the channels?

Probably have a full preseason to figure it out.

I'd like to think this will bring out the best in Ackers. He's clearly a talent at 9 and we've not seen him anywhere near his best. We know what Croft can do, we've seen it in flashes, and I do think Frawley, on the front foot, will go much, much better next term. He'll have to, mind.
