Would probably look like a midfield of... If this transpires
12 Gilbert
13 PUJ23 TUJ
Don't you rate TUJ over PUJ?
PUJ is a centre. TUJ is more of a 12. He is the bigger twin and feel he could be isolated a bit on defence at centre.
Ah ok I see what you mean, but that implies to me you rate Gilbert over TUJ!

I think it implies that we need to have a strong distributing 12 to play alongside an inexperienced 10. Playing Gilbert also means he can shoulder the goal keeping. While Millar is a very good goalkicker. Having someone managing that responsibility would take a bit of pressure off.
The back end of 2022 also says the Highlanders coaching staff likes the idea of Gilbert starting at TUJ coming off the bench.

@nostrildamus i rate TUJ over Gilbert at 12 but i can see what @SouthernMann is talking about here, especially if we have an inexperienced 10...more reliable Gilbert at 12 would be good

I think most people would... Landers want a ball-playing 12 as a first option.
dont know about "most"...in my experience

thanks, all. I'd just like to see the twins play together at some stage (and have a good run without major injuries!)
