The early signs seem to be that Fitzgibbon will be staying at 13 next season and Westerman playing at 6 and learning his trade from him before taking over the jersey. On face value it looks like Agar plans to employ a very direct game-plan and not the more expansive one that has been touted.
Does this also mean that Lauiaki will be employed as the 5th prop next season?

Well Agar's direct game plan has ended up with him nominated for coach of the year, god knows how.

It would be plain wrong to use Westerman at 6 and Fitz at 13. If thats how agar wants to go then fair enough but the negatives of that are that we will be short in the back row without Lauaki, short up front without Fitz and boring as hell as we have been through having a prop at 13.

I'm hoping this is all a bit of a joke to keep teams guessing but who knows.

It's a possibility depending on the opposition, however Horne and Long will be first choice so he would need to do something else with Westerman then. I can see him playing 13 when the halves are fit with Fitz dropping to prop/backrow.

I don't think Westerman at 13 automatically means a more expansive gameplan but a 13 playing at 13 is much better than a prop/backrow playing at 13.

To be fair you will still have plenty of numbers in the backrow with Burnett, Kent, Green and Washbrook able to step up.
Also, if Westerman is to be the extra half back perhaps Agar will turn his attentions to signing another prop instead of a half back.
