| I can't see Golding at centre. He's way too small in my opinion. I'd have Ablett, Handley, Briscoe, Hardaker, Keinhorst or even Ward ahead of him at centre.
Full back, half back yes. Not centre for me, he'd get smashed with and without the ball.

Yep I agree. Again one of those that doesn't consider the defensive side of things. Can anybody really see him being able to do the tackling the likes of Moon and Watkins do.

Yep. And that tackling at centre has to both help cover the halfback defending next to them but also deal with second rowers and props running at them.
It's not just in defence I'd worry about his size either, in attack your centre has to enough physicality to worry defenders or they won't isolate them and create gaps as often. Yes footwork and agility is useful but you need some size to you too. There aren't many small centre's in SL.

All fair points but the suggestion that Golding could play centre was in my case given in the event that Keinhorst were unavailable as first reserve centre and I had said this was after his more suited positions of fullback and then half back. The point was he has the allround skills and genuine class to play in all the creative attacking positions. Yes as a young lad of 20 he currently lacks the physique to fulfill the 2nd row defensive aspects of the modern centre role but then so did Watkins when he first appeared. Some said he was too lightweight for fullback and he has proven them to be wrong.

This week: Four keys to a Rhinos win in the WCC:Transparent Backgrounds/Waldorf.gif |

| Anyone expecting Galloway to be coming in and smashing people or throwing out offloads didn't watch much NRL.
He's a grafter, he'll do the unspectacular 20 carries and 35 tackles a game that lets everyone else play around him, and he'll do it without taking a backward step.
If Cuthbertson continues his pre-season form of just blindly throwing offloads every time he takes the ball up Leeds will need a prop or two that enjoys defending.

Spot on.
If Galloway can do the hard yards and effectively cover what an in prime Kylie offered he will be a good team signing.
As for Cuthbo, he needs to be careful. As last season progressed his offloads got more erratic and more caused defensive issues for us than the opposition. He just needs to be more controlled.

I'll tell you this now, of all the sportsmen I have ever seen, this guy is the most impressive. Clare Balding 6/10/12:37727.jpg |

He looked like a man in his element out there....smashing it up for fun.
I was further impressed with Singleton, and on a few occasions we got a glimpse of Ferres and Watkins and what they might do once things click.

Sorry my post was really in response to the person who said that Golding could easily play centre, whereas I think he'd really struggle in that position.
Obviously he's still young and can bulk out as he'll have only just started proper weights etc but the likes of Watkins had a much bigger existing frame on which he could put on some extra bulk. I dont think Golding can do that nor would we necessarily want him to. I think we've got enough cover for centre should we need it, I'd rather move Hardaker to centre and put Golding to full back

Yes I would go along with that.

Make that another Rhino on board now. Richie Mathers' 6 month ban has finished and even though he announced his retirement during that time he's just signed for the Bulls.
