I think he likes the Young Boys abit too much if you know what I mean

| This started off slightly tongue in cheek but Im starting to believe my own hype now.
Our current option at left centre are Delaney, Smith, Ablett
Delaney - Seems far more effective in the 2nd row. In the centre he is defensive and not really what we need.
Smith - Not consistent enough and Brain doesnt trust him so really dont see him getting a game even if we only had him and Kylie to choose from.
Ablett - Done a fantastic job but is not (in my view) a longterm option and should go back to the 2nd row next season.
You can also make a case for hardaker getting the nod. I would not be against this as I think he will end up in the centre but he is still young and a bit light. A year of Hardaker and Senior alternating would be a very positive thing in my view.

Delaney - Definitely a SR Forward
Smith - Defensively Weak and lacking belief in himself
Ablett - Agreed, Fantastic Job filling in, but like Delaney, a SR Forward.
Keith to mentor his Successor but to Sign a 1yr extention to be there in the Big Games.

Be serious. If we ARE going to be tongue in cheek
Our new coach for 2012 is going to play:
1.. BJB ( he's waited long enough )
2.. Watkins ( too defensively weak for centre )
3.. Hardaker ( filled out a bit for season )
4.. Hall ( ideal for role )
5.. Chisholm ( speed to burn lacking until now )
6.. Webb/ McGuire / Smith ( take your pick )
7.. Burrow ( too much spirit, great defence and speed to be omitted )

I think we'd lose more than we'd win with a Back Line that inexperienced.
Such losses would dent confidence and do more harm than good.
Adding ingredients too quickly will spoil the finished product

I said SLIGHTLY tongue in cheek, not the whole Benny Hill show.
Is your suggestion that we dont need another centre for next year?
If you do think we do then who? From what I can see out options are limited and on that basis Senior could do a job for us for a year and would be a big help to our young backs.

Is this the same Senior who prior to his injury was being described on here as finished, washed up and not worth offering another contract to (not saying that was your opinion, but it did seem to be the prevailing one on here)?
What's changed? If he wasn't good enough in March, why is he good enough now?

| Great player in his day and still capable of shining moments, but let's not got cloudy eyed. Let's move forward. Not neccessarily quite as forward as Nantwich seems to want to go but still...

Plus he has had a career threatening injury since!!
Just because the CEO has been incapable of signing a suitable replacement doesn't justify re-signing yet another over-the-hill 30+ year old

Senior is focused on 300/400 games - he can only achieve this through playing every week - in Senior's world he plays the player he mentors watches!!
Signing him again is madness

I'm just saying I think he has abit more in the tank and to be fair, the whole team were playing Cr@p at the point he was been slated on here.

He may not be the ideal option but I would suggest 'madness' is a bit strong.

Madness would be playing SR Forwards as Centres to be out-classed most weeks.
In the absense of a suitable replacement or the same past or present ability, he is a sane option.

He was being out classed most weeks - he will be slower than he was following his injury - signing him again is crazy
We have better options in Hardaker, Smith or Ablett
If other sides saw some potential in him he would now have another deal following the Crusaders debarcle - the fact he hasn't speaks volumes
