Your team for 2019

Have you seen him try to pass?
Well you wouldn't just do it without a few sessions to see how he goes there but he is a talented kid and he does learn so as a bench back up he might have gone alright and that would have given us Buhrers money too .
 
There is no way in the world Sione will be defending in the middle with his dodgy noggin!
Although I believe he defends better closer to the middle, he really can't be exposed to alot of big collisions, or it is sleeptime unfortunately!

Given his history it's a bit of a surprise to see him returning to the forwards after one season at centre. The most logical scenario is he becomes a solid bench player, the reduced minutes should help address the fatigue issue which contributed to those concussions.

There are plenty of differing opinions on where he'll play, I guess until we see where he lines up in the trials or get a statement from the coaching staff tipping us off it's purely speculation.

Hopefully the improvement in his consistency in the 2nd half of 2018 will carry over to 2019, I'd like to see him succeed in the red and blue.
 
Be careful I said this through the season and got smashed for it .
If we sign marque type forward it'll be impractical having both Sione and Buhrer on the bench. I think he'd give playing 2nd row and dummy half a good crack from the bench in limited minutes.
 
It's pretty freakin obvious that passing at centre is different to passing at dummy half.

Sione playing hooker would also be comedy gold for the opposition fans and players.

He should be told what position to try nail down In FG (centre, wing or backrow) and be sent back to reserves to do so. Chopping and changing him these last few years has really stunted his career. He hasn’t developed one iota since he was 19.

Anyone who couldn't see some improvement in the later part of the season is kidding themselves.

I disagree. Would you rather Buhrer? He has no use warming the bench with Guerra, Fitz and Barnett in the side only to pop up for a few minutes at 2nd row.

Buhrer can pass a hell of a lot better then Sione. Can also defend better and not get concussed every other game.

He hasn't played dummy half before, if there are any games let me know. In terms of defense I disagree. Put him at centre and he looks lost, in the middle and 2nd row he makes game breaking tackles unlike Buhrer who just cleans everything up. Guerra would make Sione's role a whole lot easier.
