Great centre, great servant to club and game....but a lil ott saying greatest ever??
The modern back division as been lacking top Intl class back patic' centres domestically; hence we bring the our Aussie cousins in and it showed in last years Intl series.
Consistently good over a long time and that takes some doing...I for one hope to see him notch a few more seasons yet in our great game...

No wonder you rarely post. What a load of rubbish,obviously you have a soft spot for Keith so I dont want to upset you too much.Keith should never have played at international level he is way out of his depth.If you watch most of his performances against the Aussies you can see that they spot him all the time. The tries that Aussies have scored through him being targeted as the weak link far outweigh the occasional one he has scored against them.FACT.Sorry!!!

That's an unreasonable assessment of Keith Senior because he is arguably the best British centre of his SL generation. The fact that he was out of his depth at international level against the Aussies and Kiwis on numerous occasions is not, and can never amount to a justifiable case for his exclusion from international selection because he was (and still is) one of the best British centres we've got. The alternative would have been to select players ahead of him who were inferior.

The fact that Keith Senior has been the best and most consistently performing British centre for the past decade or more is a sad indictment of the entire SL-era. As a player, he is not alone given that we haven't produced a single, genuine, consistently performing world class player since the switch to SL.

Do you think that Keith would have shown up better internationally if he was surrounded by players of better quality.

No, because he'd have been targeted more often as the more obvious weak link.

He's having a shocker against Bradford... Past it

Gotta admit he was out of position for several of the tries ....

never once competed for a high ball either. Maybe a season too far at centre, and should be moved into the 2nd row

He's never been noted for competing for the high ball. It's not, and never has been part of his armoury. He's always had a tendency to take no responsibility but instead turn his back on the high ball and leave it for someone else to deal with... utilising himself as a blocker instead to obstruct opposition players.

Well, perhaps he should have been blocking somewhere close to the tryline and not 5 yards inside play.

Given that he was blowing hot and cold last season, but was unfortunate to get binned, I was amazed when McD took Pitts off and left Senior in the centre with Delaney on the bench. Should have been Watkins and Delaney at centre, with Squeef in the 2nd row.

I'm not disputing that. These deficiencies in his game have always been there.

Thought Senior was lucky to be only penalised by Ganson. Ganson has a much stronger attitudes to seniors if I remember correctly.
