He'll be the first man up for any injury, HIA's or suspensions that occur in the outside backs.
And we saw last year that Jesse forced his way into the starting 13 based on being in that position 12 months ago.

We also have Jordan Pereira on our books. He was good for 15 tries in the QCup last season.

I like Jordan, tackle breaking machine and similar in mould to the Panthers prototype winger. Has seemed a bit error prone in first grade appearance though.
Just more so advocating Hoeter as I feel the centre position will be a bit more taxing as the season drags on for Cobbo or Mariner week in week out. He'd be handy to give them a breather through the season being the seasoned journeyman he is. Early pre-season i was keen on Arthurs for the vacant centre position due to the above, but he offers that same reliability at wing too.
Was kinda hoping we'd snag Euan Aitkin after releasing capewell due to his centre/backrow versatility and seemingly surplus at the Dolphins, but happy the clubs backing the in house talent.

OK !
Well there goes that excuse . I didn`t know about that .
I thought this was amusing though .
Wighton stumbled out of the now closed Academy nightclub in Canberra at 2.45am on the morning of February 3.
With urine patches on his pants .

Outside backs get the most injuries .
He will get his chance .

Rumours aren't something you "steal." They're something you spread.

Going out on a limb. IF, big IF TPJ signs - DD, Kevolution and Ballard will have to keep him on a tight rope. Honestly at 27yr's of age - hes at a turning point in his life where he matures and takes opportunity or totally ***** it. For a low salary, strict conditions - what is the harm? Hes got max 5 yr's left of opportunity in the NRL.
If his behaviour is toxic, back to reggies. Year by year contract. He has the talent, but he hasn't had the discipline. If it happens and works its a master stroke. Worst case, its an extra man in the cap to bring up from reggies when needed. All will be on him to prove himself to fit back in and come up to the level that is expected.
Being around Carrigan, Reynolds, Haas, Taupau and Riki would only make him hungry if he is actually serious. There's a wealth of professionalism between those guys (yes ignore Haas previous issues). Its all on the table for him should he choose really. I don't think the team is that delicate that his presence will derail the squad - and really you have to think, that a GF team has a settled, strict and balanced system. It would be clear quickly if hes not fitting in or buying in.
