We have Paisami, Flook and Henry as first choice centre options. At the moment we just need someone to provide injury cover there.
We could play O’Connor there, but it would be stop gap. Which could be fine, but I have no issues with Thorn blooding the next in line. Annan will have experienced players around which should help. It appears to me Thorn is attempting to keep players in their preferred position rather than shuffle them too much which seems a good move.
After a couple of weeks starting I think it’ll be good for Lynagh to come off the bench for a period and get some more experienc via being a finisher.
