Looks like he'll be a Hull KR player in 2020. https://www.totalrl.com/hull-kingston-rovers-sign-shaun-kenny-dowall-for-2020/

While taking nothing for granted about tonight’s game... what has his form been like in the NRL in recent years, does anybody on here know? Might he be a better option for us as centre than on the wing?

Good signing. Lost a bit of pace but he's safe under a high ball and he's one of the best at gaining the hard yards out of your own half. Don't think he's played centre since he was at the Roosters but I'd imagine he'd have a longer shelf life in the centres.

Cheers. I mostly remember him playing centre in internationals, but that was maybe because the Kiwis had more good wingers than centres at the time? If he’s with us until he is 34, it is easier imagine him lasting longer there than on the wing, as you say.

All moot unless/until we secure SL survival this year.

I think he's played on the wing for the last 3 seasons at least, he'll provide good kick return if he plays there too but he's not as quick as he was though so maybe he will play centre.
