It's not about one Vs the other.
It's having enough players to cover the entire season positionally. Only a fool would sack Dallin. Even if he is a reserve grader for us, he'll play throughout the year. Our outside backs have a knack for buckling during the season. So more is better in this case.

Im pretty sure what Cces is alluding to is that both RTS and AKP play on the left wing. DWZ plays on the right. This point is often overlook when people say that AKP is replacing DWZ. He is more likely to take over left wing IMO if the plan is to move RTS again...
I do not believe AKP has ever played on the right edge (Dallin's side) in the NRL.

Yep gotcha. Suppose I was alluding more to noitall's post with the quote about Dallin by Riccio.
I'm not actually a Dallin disciple but try scoring as one of our wingers is generally a finishing thing. The whole backline was multi combinations during last season.
I recall one slide in preseason pictures where AKP was about to receive the ball from Pompey and considered posting but didn’t bother because I thought it didn’t really mean anything, and doesn’t really. Really interesting to watch what’s going on with Ponga, I’d love to see us go with RTS fullback if he’s only with us one more year and get Ponga for 2027 if there’s a chance. Any further out and he’s getting on too much and potentially missing his peak years. The more you consider it, they could opt for CNK centre knowing he’s likely to get through games? Berry’s injuries and the pressure that puts on selection could count against him? I still believe Leiataua is earmarked for Pompey’s replacements when he takes it

I would start DWZ for the seniority but have AKP breathing down his neck ready to take over as soon as DWZ underperforms.
Kosi in the last five seasons has played 5,11,11,5,4 games.
Average of 7.2 games.
AKP played 10 games for GC last season.
I don't think it would be wild for AKP to play 7-10 games this season, then progress into a starting role in 2027
Assuming of course RTS and DWZ are playing well and deserving of their spots
