J. Tomkins and G. Carmont?

J. Tomkins might have 12 on his Back but has made the move to Centre due to his Pace and Power and G. Carmont was always a Centre iirc.

Joel Tomkins is as much a centre as Carl Ablett!! or as much a centre as Delanney is a SR forward.

I think most people would agree with you. Any idea if GH thinks the same and who is available?

Funny thing is that if the club had re-signed senior before it had been mentioned on here there would have been uproar! Fans, how very fickle.

You are of course correct that fans are fickle.

However, you also need to deal with the cards as they are dealt. Re-signing Senior a few months ago may well have been seen as stagnating. But then, a few months ago we were all skipping through the fields blissfully unaware that as we approach the end of the season we would have lost Cross and Burgess (not many tears shed) and only signed .... drum roll please ....... Richard Moore.

The facts as they currently appear are that we will not be signing some great new centre. If that is the case then Senior offers us an alternative, an option and options are good.

You only need to offer him 1 year so GH can get back out looking. He knows the club, the players, the systems.

Of course, if GH has some great signing up his wizards sleeve then thats great. But right now it doesn't look like he has.

Had to laugh at Seniors tweet this morning


"received a parcel from Gary H. Note said it's my cup final suit for Saturday. Opened it. F*****g Ronnie the Rhino outfit"

I don't have Senior's career stats but he played 365 total at Leeds plus 92 SL games for Sheffield. So that's 457 + pre SL Era at Sheffield + Challenge Cup games with Sheffield (in excess of 50 combined?) + Internationals (in excess of 40?)

That would place him around the 550 mark in his 1st grade career so if he has a target in mind it will likely as not be 600.

Otherwise I agree, I don't see Senior willing to return in a mentoring role at least not until he has reached his target/retired from playing.

Has he said he has a target? Can you point me to said article?

Yes I believe he has.

No I can't point you to said article at this moment.

Do you wish to state that he categorically hasn't? That could motivate me to find it for you.

Thanks for that Tony, saved me the effort.



Is that a euphemism?
