The only way I could understand him being picked on the wing is if Leilua is inside him. BJ appeared to improve a fair bit towards the end of last season and hopefully he's continued with that through the off season. He is very good at getting outside his man when in the centres and has great offloading abilities (in particular accurate long offloads out to his wing man). Both seem very good in the air. Defence would be the only downside. Leilua should be better defensively next season at centre but Moga has not defended much on the wing and this could give him problems initially.
Leilua is simply too slow on the wing and would probably struggle to keep up with Moga if a break is made. And there is too many good backrowers in the squad this year to have him on the bench.
