Quote rugbyleague88="rugbyleague88"Although I wouldn't move Hall to the centre, who says a centre has to be creative. If Hall was to move to centre, he would be likely to get earlier more quality ball which could make him more devastating. If he is finishing chances and scoring 30+ tries then I wouldn't see the problem in it. Sometimes wingers can be anonymous because they aren't getting the opportunities, bringing them in field can make them more effective.
I personally think Hall would be more effective on the wing than centre though, although it'd be interesting to see him play at centre a couple of times and see how it goes.'"
There are plenty of not-so-creative centres in SL. This is chiefly because we struggle, nationally, to rpoduce anything else. Moving another pacy powerhouse finisher there doesn't really help.
Really good centres are the ones who can score, yes, but who create chances for their winger. Watkins is the best prospect of this kind English RL has produced in a long time. Ablett is actually better at it than people give him credit for and I think is a better centre than many who are highly rated (Yeaman, Welham, Cudjoe) for that reason. I'd have no issue with him being at centre again next year, but I don't know whether he feels the same.
If he was happy there, it'd need to be real class that we brought in, because I can't actually see many centres running around in SL at the moment. The ones that there are (Atkins is one who seems to have really worked on his creative play, in a more Senior than Lyon way -ie hit the line and slip an offload out of contact) are like rocking horse s**t and their clubs are not going to be too keen on releasing them.
