Reuben Garrick's move to the centres has been put on ice as the Manly star prepares to stay on the wing for the entire NRL season.Garrick will run out on the left wing in the Sea Eagles' season opener against Canterbury on Saturday, four months after a signing a new four-year deal with the club.Part of those negotiations included a preference to make a switch to centre, a position Garrick grew up playing, and where he can get his hands on the ball more often.Any chance of that happening early in the season has largely been scuttled, however, by Jason Saab's recovery from a ruptured ACL, which leaves Manly short on wingers early in the year.There had been speculation that once Saab returned on the wing the door would open for Garrick to move to centre, but the 25-year-old said he was not expecting that to eventuate."Our best 13 is with me on the wing here at the moment, so that's what we'll do," Garrick , a winger in 71 of his 91 games with Manly, told AAP.
