Very quickly looked at the out of contact post and under cas it has Craig huby, he would do a job down the middle, further improve the pack and be a good play you the younger lads to learn from

Is George Williams any good?

Centre isn't nailed on. Percival has shown promise when he has got on the park, but those appearances have been worryingly limited. Turner is ok, but hardly top drawer, and after that we have jones who is a second row filling in, sia who isn't a centre and wheeler who is never going to make it. Centre is definitely a weakness for saints.

.

He's excellent, can play 6,7 or 9.

More of an organiser than Hampshire who played in the halves last season for Wigan 19's and is way too good for that level now. (Both Hampshire and Williams need higher level than 19's IMO)

I can't see Wigan letting him go due to Green possibly leaving and they then go with Smith, Powell, Hampshire and Williams.

Percival is 19, he shouldn't (and wasn't) over used last year, and should become more and more into contention this year. It's unfortunate his knock has taken a few weeks longer than expected ... But hardly a reason to write him off! The only British centre I would trade turner for is Watkins, and that will never happen - if he ever leaves Leeds it will be for the NRL. Dawson has shown a few moments of promise - and without wanting to reopen the josh jones debate, he still offers very good cover when required.

Who is feasible to bring in to improve on what we have? It's alright saying we want Jamie Lyon, but if he's there's no one of his quality to bring in, it's a bit of a mute point...

Brown showed excellent management of Percival last year. He needed to be taken out as he was starting to miss the odd tackle. Brown was correct in what he did.


Can't rush young lads, some can come in and play for next 10 years but others need to be handled and IMO Percival was falling slightly short due to him not being 100 % ready just at that time.
