So we should swap a backrower to cover centre, and play Sione in the back row....

Sione wasnt cutting it at Centre and seems to fit the role of a backrower better.

Stone was a 5/8 until 18ths ago and has grown 15cm 18kg in 2yrs.

He has a lot more smarts then many know and great vision

I just informed u of Stone carrying 4 guys twice and having not missed a tackle yet in his 3 limited games of nrl footy...

U reply with his tackles are borderline ineffective?? And how a winger did one good run where he carried a winger and fended off a centre and is somehow stronger :applause:

I've been watching him play man. I know what he's capable of. And despite the anecdotes you offer up as objective truth, ive got to say I totally disagree with you. Stone is way understrength for FG

Denniss is stronger than Stone. Its evident in his play. In the metres he makes and the way he handles defenders when carrying the ball. Stone cripples like Houston.. but that's totally understandable, like Billy said, he has a mountain of improvement to make

Ive been banging on about this idea as well mate, think with his footy smarts vision and skills plus size and agility he could set up many tries out wide.

Well as you know I like big centre's and this guy fits that and he's footy smart too imo Ross outside him would be deadly ....
 
Tun the cowboys game on, Ponga going very well.

Just scored a try, made a big line break earlier on which almost lead to a try.
 
I think he is a bit lazy at times to get to bombs etc. If he ran across then at speed, he could have been there to back up his winger in case it came loose like it did and possibly forced the ball.

Honest views? You've hated him since day dot and Cowboyman is butthurt that he's leaving his side to come here. Pretty hard for either of you to offer an unbiased opinion.

You recognised Ponga at all during the first 30 minutes? I certainly didn't. Was only brought into the game when JT out him into holes the last 10 minutes of the first half. Did nothing in the 2nd half either.

I've said form day dot I believe he will be best player in the world in 3 years time but he has a long way to go.
