Maybe I'm alone in this, but I've not seen anything to suggest makinson has the game to play centre to any decent standard.

Will be interesting to see if I'm completely mistaken.

I am a fan of Tommy but don't think he is a centre - he simply isn't physically big enough.

It will either be him or Ade dropping out of the 19 - I suspect it will be him.

Makinson always play centre or full back before he broke into the first team

Probably due to Ade limping at the end, I think Ade wont be risked.

Yep. He learned how to play on the wing when he was chosen to stand in for Gardner in 2011.

I see no reason to change a winning line up. If Gardner is carrying a knock Makinson straight in. That should be the only forced change.

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'd rather we rotate the props if we have the guys fit. Don't want a stagnent 17 like last year.

No way should props need resting after only a few rounds of Super League. We have had wholesale changes allready the last thing we need is more.

It's not really a question of resting them though is it? If we have more props than we need on the field at one time then surely it is good player management to rotate so as to have the best chance of keeping as many of them as fit (and as match fit) as possible?

Its not quite the same as centre SL level. He is 10KG lighter than Manu, Turner and Jones.

I think he is more suited to winger or full back.

It can't be that bad if he has put him in the 19 ?

Yes he is lighter but he is also a lot quicker than two of the three you mention.

Tommy Mak isnt a lightweight. according to Saints he is 90kg. Thats 5 KG heavier than Gary Wheeler who i didnt see getting embarrassed physically at centre, and only 2kg lighter than Darryl Goulding at Wigan and 3 kg less than Warringtons Chris Bridge.
