He is injured. There is no definite return date for him either.

Hard to catch and tackle with your arm in a sling.

He's injured, how many times does this need to be said FFS. Are people just taking the piss now?

A back three of Barba, Hoffman and Vidot will be exciting to watch (assuming Griffin picks them there).

The fact that it's exciting is why Griffin won't pick that back 3. He'll go for safe.
I understand safety at the back is important, but so is scoring. However, he doesn't seem to get that...

Regarding Oates, he's a 2nd rower. I'd much rather we develop him in qcup in that role than play him in 1st grade on the wing. We really don't need anymore wingers/centres IMO.

I think Oates has the makings of another Gene Miles type centre.

I'm not sure whether it's always you, but I've read that comparison on this website at least 30 times.
Make it stahp.
Edit:
We don't need any more wingers? [MENTION=8311]Harry Sack[/MENTION]
From what I can tell the only true winger we have is Vidot..
Hoffman - Fullback
Mills - Centre
Copley - Centre
Maranta - Fullback
Kahu - Fullback / Five-Eighth

Disagree, we need all the wingers we can get to displace a certain someone from ever being named again.

Drew, Hoffman, Vidot, Copley. They're more than capable of playing on the wing.

I'll clarify, we don't need Oates (except as injury cover) on the wing/centre if the correct players are picked.

Correction, Hoffman THINKS he's a Fullback.

He was running around quite freely in Fridays session. I saw the first 30 minutes of it anyway.

In all likelihood neither Glenn or Gillett are going anywhere, and nor should they. They are two of our best prospects. With this in mind, I think it's well worth developing Oates as a centre. He's clearly a player you want on the field as much as possible and looks genuinely capable of being a weapon at centre, unlike most other backrowers. And frankly, if you are strong in both positions I don't really think it really matters if you develop him as a centre or backrower. They are a lot more similar than half and hooker.

I don't see why he wouldn't be running around freely, he has a shoulder injury. Was he doing contact work?
