He kinda did a job. Not well, games definitely too quick for him at the moment. I'll give him 15-20 games before I make to much judgement.
 
Looks talented, athletic. Dom Young should be the last outside back we need to sign from another club on a biggish salary for a long time. Between Wilson & Hunt, with Winter and Seve coming through, we should be good. Conveyor belt plz.
 
He almost always plays on the right.
If we had a vacancy at right wing or centre I'd say he is the next man up and take the chance on him, but I really don't want to see him playing out of position and the Wests coaches having a week to think about targeting him and Marz.
Bradman carries the defence on that side - those are big shoes to drop a kid into, given it's not his usual position.
I'd keep him at 19 and only use him if we have to.

What do you think Billy? Lucas at centre and then Francis in from Cup…? Not dropping a kid into replace Best rules out most options.
 
If you don’t back DeCourcey now then don’t at all. Lucas can assist him as he’s next to him in defence and Sharpe is also a strong defender on the edge.

Makasini will be on wing this week with Toa most likely back in centres after the winger got suspended for 1 week.

Edit** just realised they defend opposite sides. So Gags/Dom defend Toa/Maksini, DeCourcey/Marz defend Turuva/Tavaana
 
I wouldn’t go Lucas, to centre I rather he didn’t move, he is our best second rower and adding De Coursey to centre means the least amount of movement, Lucas hasn’t played centre in a long time now, there is no way he has been practicing centre in between drinks, De Coursey showed enough, people are worried about his defence, don’t forget people here were worried about McCarthy when he debuted saying the same about his defence, than it toke 3 games for him to miss 1 tackle…
