West Tigers Supporters 2012?

* The club let's go emerging players Andrew Fifita & Bryce Gybbs to Cronula, who need the help after losing Kade Snowden & Luke Douglas. They then import Adam Blair, and allegedly are bidding on Josh Dugan. However import Joel Reddy from Parramatta. Despite being a Brisbane Bronco's supporter, I think West Tigers have a solid team. My question to everyone is in relation to where the players will slot and blend, and in particular what's the long term strategy behind the move.

For example: It's been noted that Chris Lawrence is speculated to move to Five-Eighth, and has been ear-marked equivalent to Laurie Daly. This move would see Joel Reddy center pairing with Blake Aysford, which is an extremely talented & youthful backline. Benji Marshall would slot to fullback, which would allow him to really be creative and destroy teams all round the park.

It's scary to think of Adam Blair, Gareth Ellis & workhorse Chris Heighington in the backrow, accompanied with young props. I'm of the opinion Benji Marshall is looking to adopt the Number 1 jersey, in respect to The NZ International Team, which would allow Keiran Foran to play his natural Number 6 role, and slot Warriors Halfback Shaun Johnson @ Number 7.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the topic I have dribbled up... Sweet as

    Im not a Tigers Supporter, but I dont think Benji should be moved to Fullback. That is just going to take him away from the play and he will get less involved. An example right now is Hayne. With him at fullback there is less chance of him creating something/breaking the line etc, now he has moved to 5/8 he is more likely to do something. This would be stupid for Benji to go to Fullback, at International level anyway Locke/Nightingale (More likely him) will be the Fullback after Lance I would imagine.

    Benji Marshall isn't anywhere near fast enough to play fullback, remember he got run down by Ben Smith 3 weeks ago? And he probably won't do too well under the bomb either, which would only make the tigers' terrible aerial kick defense even worse
