But it didn't pan out. He played one stint there by memory and in the end they settled after a few games into the season of Niukore from second row to centre and Curran to replace the vacant second row spot.
Let's say we line up 1 to 17 on saturday which even I don't mind as I am just conjecturing for shits and giggles
Our injury replacements for broken legs in the first ten minutes looks like this
1) CNK broken leg - Niukore to centre. Pompey to wing. Dallin to fullback. This not ideal as we lose Dallin's strike off the wing. We will lose if this happens,
2) Either wing breaks a leg, Niukore to centre, Pompey to whatever wing. We will be ok if this happens.
3) Centre breaks a leg Niukore to centre
4) A half goes down, Walker to half
5) a prop either afb or barnett goes down. Tohu to prop. Jazz to lock.
6) Egan goes down. Sironen steps in
7) Second rower breaks a leg - Curran steps in
8) Harris breaks a leg. Jazz or Walker to lock
Sironen covers one eventuality and is a poor man's utility which is why I presume Webster is cutting him free next year. CHT is a rich mans utility can cover full back, half, and hooker to a very high standard.
As of yet no one has picked up Siros contract. Not even a sniff from tigers where his Dad played. Super League havn't returned his texts either is my understanding.
You claim to a man you trust Webster judgement, well he has made a judgement about Sironen.
