Me neither, stats are an interesting bit of information but don’t always tell the whole story. But ten missed tackles is appalling if true, if he missed half that many in a game again, then should mever play again.

Buy championship players you eventually become a championship team.

We need major quality but that involves spending lots of £££££

Pete Smith made a point in the YEP that soon after the disasterous 1996 season we splashed out c£350k on Harris and perhaps the time is now right to splash out on a game changing player again

O/T, but on the subject of missed tackles Ash Golding has completed 249 plus a further 34 marker tackles. He's missed seven. I don't mention this with rekindling the Golding v Walker debate in mind but it is an astonishing stat.

goldings really filling out. wonder how he'd go at centre?

I'd say he is 4" too short to be a top quality centre.

Centres need to be the size of a second row with a lot more skill

You really do say some strange things, Sal

He is correct. Senior & Watkins are not regarded as world class just for their ball skills. Percival is quickly developing into one, but still needs a bit more bulk. Golding is a pygmy in compare.

Its true the best centres are the size of second row - Newlove, Connelly, Eric Ashton, Greg Inglis, Keith Senior - you don't get any tiny centres that are fit for purpose.

That may well be true. It was the skill comment in your previous post that I took issue with

He is also our 4th best for tackle busts (and 28th for the wholes Super League)

Worth a try as he has good hands, not bad pace and a strong defence.
