Another way of looking at A & D at our level no one will be perfect but would we rather have a winger who scores 30 + each season and concedes 6 or one who scores half that for and against?

The first. It's a situation akin to Rob Worrincy although his ratio of tries against him as opposed to those he scored was much higher than LW's.

Just as a counter argument, name some good championship wingers who are good defensively.
I would also say that walmsleys best form of defence is his attack via his intercepts .

Aye, it's a case of getting the balance right and chosing when in a match it is right to take the chance of an interception as opposed to defending the moment. Whichever way, a winger such as Lachlan only comes along very rarely and the possibility of him leaving, especially to a club like Wakefield in our own division, is part of the reason i have held back from buying a season ticket this time. Let's hope he stays with Fax at least until his present contract is up.

Walmsley is a generational try scoring talent the likes of that we have not seen since Greg Austin, lets hope we don't have to wait as long to see another like him.

Greg had his critics too. "can`t defend and lazy " were comments i heard around me. I remember him missing a tackle and the cover working hard to close down the break and Greg gently walking back. Players that work hard and have talent generally play internationally and not at Fax any longer!

Writing about Austin made me think of the best centres I have seen play for Fax
John Burnett ( though only at the end of his career) ,Tony Anderson , John Schuster and David Willicombe.
Schuster probably my favourite he could do it all.

Anyone have suggestions?

I loved Schuster. The best was during SL and the last game of the season was at Odsal and the bulls hadn’t lost a home
Match all season and we’re planning a massive after game celebration for not losing all season. There was a bulls fan standing behind me And my Dad gobbing all match about how Schuster was a spent force and too old and how Fax were.
Step up Schuster who intercepted a pass on our try line and went the distance to score in the corner then converted it to win the game. That was a truely beautiful moment. Didn’t see the bulls fan as he slinked off somewhere and we did ruin their party.

Happy Days!

Was only 1 season and techincally not normally a centre but a certain Greg Florimo played the majority of his rugby in that position for us and was class.

Other than that I think the Austin, Schuster, and Watson era takes some beating. The sky game against hull Kr where we put over 70 on them, Watson was simply unplayable. More recently I think Stuart Donlan was very, very good for us and was not far off international honors, another who's natural position was not centre but for whatever reason ended up there and showed true quality.

I had thought about adding Greg Florimo to my list as he was my sons favourite player of that era. But only one season counted against him.
Donlan oused class but again I don`t thjink he played many games for us.

Just checked , he played more than I thought, 68 according to wiki

I had one stood in front of me all game really giving to us both barrels.The look on his face at the end was priceless.
