Not Ben Crooks on today's performance completely choked. Long time since I have seen a player make so many mistakes in a single game (ignoring Holdsworth in the same game!!!!)

leroy cudjoe, best centre in super league.

Don’t you mean in your biased opinion?

whichever way you want to look at it, still the same result

It will be interesting when Watkins or Cudjoe come up against Australia and NZ Test Centres.
Inglis will be a challenge with his size, speed and skill partnered with Morris or Jennings.

He's good no doubt but he's not a patch on Kallum Watkins, who imo has everything to be a truly world class centre.

Not gonna happen but would love him at Wigan.

Exactly, 'on todays performance'. Young lad comes straight into the side after a month out after ankle surgery. The fact he left the game with his boot back on says it all. He's taken teams apart this season. Going to be a cracking player.

Watkins can't tackle, hold a defensive line or read an attack coming at him.
He also has trouble catching at times

Other than that he is superb...if he can learn to defend and keep his interest in the hard stuff rather than the flash stuff he'll be brilliant

Watkins is a fine defensive centre. He isn’t a very good defender from fullback but I have no concerns whatsoever with Watkins defending at .

He is imo, on a different level to Cudjoe and the only truly potential world class centre the game over here has produced in far too long.

Gelling.

If by top class we mean players who excelled against the best at international level we've never produced a great abundance of centres. In my time watching the game Schofield, Lydon and Hanley stand out in the mid to late 80s. By the early 90s you're looking at Davies and possibly Newlove when he could be d. Connolly never scored a try at international level against Australia or New Zealand. Senior lacked any real flair IMO. Gleeson was too slow. Nowadays I think Watkins has potential.

Connolly actually did score once against the Aussies at hull in 2003. But your point is still valid.

I've not seen many better than Richie Blackmore. Big, strong but with great hands and was giving that 'flick' pass before Lyon was out of nappies (maybe an exaggeration).
He and St John Ellis were almost telepathic, Singe scored a massive number of walk-is thanks to Blackmore's ability to draw the man an pass at the very last moment.
In 111 appearances Blackmore scored 64 tries and in 93/94 he and Ellis scored 47 tries between them (Ellis 30; Blackmore 17).
Ellis left the club after this season and Blackmore was paired up with a young Chris Smith who scored 14 tries (with Blackmore scoring 1icon_cool.gif.
Once Blackmore left the club at the end of 1995 Smith only scored 5 tries the following season, proving how vital a player Blackmore was for us and the number of tries he could lay on for his winger. I have not seen anyone come close to him in a Castleford shirt, and not many I think are better playing elsewhere.

Centre's job is simple but it is becoming a mystic art to put his winger away by committing the defence to the tackle with the finesse to off load or step , and the strength to bullock his way through defences who hold back.
Surprised no one has mentioned Joel Moon , who has an unerring ability to create space for his winger , Broughton Last year , Hall this year .

Jamie Lyon in his Saints spell stands out for me .

If it's all about getting their Winger tries, then surely Darrell Goulding is the best centre we have, as his Winger has been the top try scorer for the past 2 years now.
