I would be putting Trell in 6 before Wighton.

Jack is a horrible ball player, great runner
At the raiders Jack was a poor 5/8th. Never seemed to have enough time and over thought the “ball playing” aspect.
he’s a runner, pure and simple
 
I think both would work. Not fussed if Jack is 5/8 or Latrell. Latrell will be better eventually but may need an offseason to prep, where as Jack has played a majority of his career there.

As long as we can move Hawkins back to reserves once Latrell is available again, I’m not too fussed.

Gray’s given us something we haven’t had for a long time…. Speeeed. And now with Dodd potentially signing, theres a genuine fight for spots in the spine.

I assumed it was locked that Latrell would be 5/8 once Cody retired. Now I’m not so sure.
 
A poor 5/8 who won a Dally M and helped take them to a grand final.

I don’t want him to play 6 (unless he’s the best option), but let’s not belittle a tremendous player. His best footy in the NRL has been at 6. Even if he’s a centre/ utility here.
 
Wighton won a Churchill as a 5/8. Like Greg Inglis, he might be a better ball runner than ball player - but he can do both, well.
 
I guess it’s just another thing that will have to be found out the hard way.

I’d prefer he went to 7 if anything that way he can just play the role of feeding Cody

Now not the time to move wighton to 6

Last week if you remember when host and chee kam where named starting back rowers and with the current backline named that Wighton would be the only threat out wide and that happened to be the case.

Without wighton at centre, we will have zero attacking threat on both sides of the field.

Wighton is suspect in defence at centre but the whole team is suspect also atm

Best to wait for Trell to return before making a change like that.
 
For next season, we should be looking for a real fullback

1.
2.AJ
3.Trell
4.Wighton
5.Graham
6.Gray
7.Dodd

You got Munro, Mellors as depth on the wings.
Just spit balling, you can shuffle that deck a few different ways.

Cody will be the 6. So there’s that.

Gray or Mitchell still looking the most likely 1.

Whoever isn’t the 1 will likely be the 6 in 2025. Assuming Cody retires.
