:CROWN: I am the hash browns of rlfans :CROWN::27476.gif



First off good call moving it here shadows icon_biggrin.gif the results of the poll are interesting.

I take the point about him playing with his head down. There have been a few times where you wish he would of released it and known if meli was at centre then we'd of been away. Equally when meli has been at centre I'd wished jones was as the opposition ran around him for a try (cough Leeds first try in the semi cough)

I definitely think he can be trained to look for the ball more, which would bring his game up to a very good level, and probably pushing for an England centre spot, but I think he will struggle to ever reach the attacking potential of some of the centres we've seen in the last decade (though we have been spoilt) I think he could emulate the playing style of willie talau long term which is something we've been desperate for!

It's very easy to forget the guys 20, so of course he's not going to be the perfect player yet, but I think were in a good position with it, as we can keep him in the centre for a few year, working in his deficiencies, and if it becomes abundantly clear he will never going to get over them (after 2/3 years of trying) bring Percival into the centres and use jones as the workhorse second row - no one can doubt jones workrate, and that is what makes me feel he's not going to do a clough

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif



I think we certainly have cover in all positions.

I'd say there is competition for places apart from 1, 3, 6, 7 and 9.

I agree that he'll probably cover centre for a year while Percival grows up (or we find someone else should he not develop) and then move to the back row.

I think he's underrated by some on here though - he was second only to Lomax in [icleans breaks[/i last year, which is no mean feat.

He could very well make the centre spot his own.
Looked very good at centre.

I think it is easy to forget that he is still a baby in player age terms because he is so physically strong. He is about 8 years off his peak. As long as he gets plenty of gametime I'm not concerned where he plays, we have years to findhis position.

I think he'll get game time at both but i think Wheeler will be first choice in centre ...............for a game or so.
