Hall and Lyne in centre for me and let him play wing.

While Lyne is out....by all means put him in centre.

Not how I see it. He comes in at centre and if he's good then Lyne will have to wait and Taufua stays form and injury permitting - or - he goes on the wing if Murphy gets injured or Evans can't cut it.

Exactly. He's been carrying a lot of other players this year imho.

That’s what I’d go with.

Play him wherever he wants I say , he looks about the size of Kelepi if not bigger , what a dilemma to have .

Sorry I disagree. I think Lyne has been poor and his defence also has always been a little suspect imho (more positioning than tackle ability and I put this down to lack of pace with him) and I believe we have always had an issue with our right side defence for years. Of course I’d have Lyne in over Minns/Croft who haven’t cut it but I do think Lyne has been poor this year.

Hope Lyne finds his form soon after he recovers from injury.

We'll just have to agree to disagree on that one.

Fair enough. Regardless of our thoughts looks like our new signing has his chance to make his claim. Hope he goes well.

Lyne has been so poor this year that Wane has said that Lyne is in centre in his World Cup plans if he recovers in time!!
