Quote: St pete "Would he get a game in our pack next year ?'"
I doubt it.
If we went with three proper back rowers then Soliola, Manu and Wilkin would be first choice.
If we played with a 3rd prop then I imagine we would go with Wilkin, Manu, LMS and Soliola on the bench.
In either scenario, Flanagan would be probably be next on the list ahead of Jones.
So for me, Jones will start the season at centre and provide back up to the pack to cover any injuries, with Percival covering Jones.
I really like Jones and like other people have said, let's not forget he is only 20. I really hope he kicks on and finds himself a regular spot and he continues to improve. I'd hate to see the same thing happen to him that seems to be happening with Clough.
I can't see Manu playing many more seasons so Jones may get his chance then, but if Andre Savelio fulfils his potential then he will overtake Jones and Flanagan pretty quickly and become our 1st choice left 2nd row in the next couple of years.
