J Carney
far too good to be anywhere else but first grade
He's a natural centre by the way.

Agreed, long term I can't see how it will be anything other than Linnett and Carney at centre and wing BJ in second row, off the bench or on the wing wing if Carney doesn't pan out and Graham helping all 3 of them to make whatever adjustments they need to their games in terms of reads in defence and positioning in attack by playing with all of them at some stage.

The team we had on the weekend will beat anyone on best form. If we are to improve the team solely on personnel my three in order would be.
1/ Riddell for Watts
2/ Anasta for Symonds
3/ Perrett for Carney
Each of the replacements offer more in attack, defense, speed and smarts.
Whoever thinks Linnett should be replaced is off their head.Born and bred in the eastern suburbs.

More speed.
More brains.
Better defence.
Great attitude.
Some forget about Graham's escapades at centre last year. Especially that shocker against NZ.
What a joke. BJ has more skill in his little toe than Linnett will ever have. BJ is something special if you can't see that I don't know what you are watching. Everytime he touches the ball he breaks a tackle.
Linnett is nothing more than a good solid player. Since he has come into first grade I can't remember Linnett beating a man with footwork or a fend.
I like him and I applauded his play on Sunday but I don't think he is much above average.
Just watch when he gets the ball all he does is run straight into people, he just lacks a bit of class.
I agree some people do forget about Graham's escapades last season. He was very good in the centres and shocking on the wing. The game you mentioned against the Warriors he was on the wing.

Linnett is good at getting on the outside his man but a truely good centre is just as apt at cutting back inside. Something I'm yet to see him show... he's still developing but I agree with the sentiments that at the moment he's just as solid player with great speed and agility in broken field play.

Just watch when he gets the ball and his centre is opposite him. He dosn't try to beat them with a step or a fend he just runs back in field and takes the tackle.
