Exactly a class player of his calibre sure he can put in some grand performances at centre. Defensively his vision is there as well.
Could positional switch end Teddy's form slump?
He still has some good games left in him, why can’t he be a centre again?
Could positional switch end Teddy's form slump?
Yes there is no denying his class, however the best interest of the blues has to be considered. And is him at fullback still in the best interest of the blues moving forward.

Dangerous if the hammer and cobbo where to hold the centres down with Muzz and Coates on the wing.
Has Xavier Coates climbed pecking order after Game 2 showing?
Hunt’s omission couldn’t happen. His a part of the senior group of players teaching the younger stars the culture of Queensland. His performances at origin level and specs of brilliance at club level garanteed his selection. For hammer he wouldn’t get omitted for Ponga. A guy called Dane Gegai was omitted for the Hammer. Bronson isn’t even in the 17. Walsh earned the call up and is already getting on the good books of coach Slater.
Ponga's management gambled his future - how much will it cost him?
Very true two world class fullbacks. Slater had the luxury of choice. However similar could be said to Filter and his spoilt choices for fullback, he stuck to his go to man which didn’t see the results expected. Tedesco had 1 bad origin and one forgettable one. With respect to what his done for NSW and Australia. Is it the time for NSW to start looking at the future for its next number 1.

Accurate, however you can’t deny Reece Walsh fought his way into the number 1 jumper. Ponga’s concussion history is worrisome but can’t be the only reason behind his omission. Compounding stats were stacked against the star fullback and it was the rational sense based on form, Queensland game tactics and on the simple yet under emphasized fact that Walsh meets the defence head-on compared to Ponga. Walsh is tough and his only 20 scary prospect there.

Well Australia seems to be the only team dominating. Most world cups. So should you question their participation now.

IRL is the regulatory body of Rugby league. Surely they could come up with a affective solution to expand and influence RL in the Pacific.

Yes. But the cricket scores are distinctions between class and skill. And average Rugby.

With all due respect it is within the means of the NRL to expand its competition. At least if the stress of travellings too much they could just creating Australian based Pacific Island teams based in Australia. Also, if the New Zealand Warriors are apart of the NRL. We limit the Pacific the talent is immense. Though the opportunities limited.

He’ll have to make those adjustments quick, or by the time next year’s serious comes around we’ll have blocks lining up for a chance at fullback and end up being told they’ll have to wait another year.
