Match Discussion Round 20: Rabbitohs v Tigers

[cmorrison9]

I fall for it every time, but is Taane becoming a pretty decent NRL centre?

I know he’s much derided on here and has a brain explosion in him (which I think people weigh higher than they should at times - cause it hurts), but does he offer more at centre than a safe and predictable player like Tass does?

Yes he’s 29, but the last little bit has me wondering if he’s just an incredibly late bloomer.

And don’t get me wrong, I’ve dreaded seeing his name on the team list at times in the past.

But I find myself in a position where if we were fully fit (and Wighton was required in the halves), Milne and Gagai might still make my side.

He’s a better at centre than on the wing, but comparing him to centres across the competition, he is well down the list. Even at our club, at full strength, he ain’t playing first grade.

Taane is the perfect example of a great depth player. Gives 100% effort in the top grade and can, at times, be brilliant. Other times he is terrible. Latest example the bombed try v the dolphins. That was atrocious play.

Seems Hornby has managed to Milne's brain snaps under control. Has filled in admirably of late.
