I see he's been picked for Samoa's Test side, I'll watch his performance with interest after the massive bagging he's received here (probably means he's a good player!)

Can't blame him for that, no winger in position as he'd already made an in field tackle

He actually had a solid game.
Was fairly aggressive in what he did and the attack down his side can't be blamed on him,the inside players caused the outnumbering.
Looks like he will be a bit of a similar quality of player to Harper with maybe a bit more attacking ability,might not go looking for the ball as much as Harper.

If Parker has any more lapses of form at the centre position over a certain period of time, then I cant justify him getting another run at the same position, and is better utilised elsewhere.
Parker is the low downside reliable encumbent pick. One of the other options will have to really impress in preseason/trials to beat him out for the starting spot.
I'm hopeful that is Paulo on the wing and Garrick moves to centre.
Yeah I'm hoping Paulo can impress and seize that position.
Benefit of that is it allows us to play Koula on the left where he can get more space.

He really isn't needed, just send him too the dogs so we can get Josh Curran.

I think vaega offers more than tuipolotu to be honest.

Both Tuipolotu and Paulo would be liabilities. Back up players for injury. Would be reluctant to move Garrick off the wing initially as he is such a good player in that position. Speed, good under the high ball and great finisher. Also great with kick returns.
I would personally want to see what Talau can do in the centres.

Have to agree, the strange part is there were several NRL clubs chasing Tuipolotu when the Roosters signed him from NZ as a potential "Sheck" or "DWZ" type player, but falls well short and his speed is pretty ordinary too.
Would have to say Vaega is a ball of energy and definitely a better option, though have a feel we will see Garrick in the centres with trials and off season dictating that other wing spot.
The way I see it, it's a 4 way shoot out for either the wing spot or centre position. Parker gets first dibs on centres for mine. And agree about Garrick on the wing, he's such a good finisher but wont be upset if he plays wing tho.
should be ..plays centre.
