Oates shits all over Nene McDonald as a winger

I think oates needs to move into the backrow. We need a damaging line runner. Oates scores alot of tries off backline play's, if we can get a winger that is a good finisher and makes good meters! We don't loose much but gain a better threat on the edge.

What about fifita or sua do we lose one or both because oates wants to move to second row ?

I think its the likes of Glenn and Gillett that need to be looked at as well. Glenn is wholehearted and solid but i think Oates could be a better option with more impact. Gilletts defence is his strength, but he needs to add a little more to his game imo. I've seen him hit holes, but either how he player or how we have him playing right now seems to make that part of his game a little redundant. Its up to our younger blokes to start pushing the established players as well. They cant expect starting spots to just fall into their laps. If they want to leave then so be it, i'd rather have players with a genuine passion to play for this club.

Im sure sua will take thaidays place , fifita is still very young. Nothing is set in stone either , who is to say oates doesn't kill it in the backrow
 
Just saw the possible Herman thing. Please please please. Dude never wanted to leave from what I saw. Besides with all the young guys coming through in a year or two (Fifitas, Carrigan, Haas etc) we need some forwards who'll be in that 24-27 bracket with all our core guys being almost 30 now and on their way out when it's time for the youngins to be permanent first graders

It is one thing to make the meters he does against centers and wingers ... it is another thing entirely to do it against props or back rowers.

there is no guarantee he will even be able to cut it in the back row, but one thing is certain, he is an awesome winger and plays a vital role for us, right where he is.

moving him would just significantly weakening our wing to maybe strengthen our back row (maybe even weakening it).

put someone next to him that knows how to pass and set up their winger (like Bird or Opacic) and his try tally will go through the roof next season.

I agree but a lot of the metres he makes are in the middle of the field against the forwards.
