| Quote: Mars "Watkins is currently England's best centre, but you are underestimating Crooks' performances this year with your 'no way on earth statement'. Crooks has almost scored as many tries as Watkins and Moon combined this season, he has more try assists than either of them, made more tackle busts, more clean breaks, more metres per carry and has made more tackles. He's also missed more tackles (although not as a percentage vs. Watkins) and made a couple more errors.
He's played consistently well all season irrespective of age or expectation and people are justified in selecting him for this years dream team.
Watkins is a great talent and will start at right centre for England, but based on this season's performances Crooks isn't far behind.'"
Im not denigrating Crooks performance, I think he has done well and had a good season. He has shown some great potential. But that’s what he has shown right now. Potential. A lot of the judgements of the likes of Crooks and Lineham is on what they have shown the COULD be rather than what they ARE. Crooks has had a very very good season for a youngster breaking in to the first team. I don’t think that if he was the finished article, if he was having this season as a 27 year old I don’t think we would see people pushing him for dream-team inclusion. |

Ryan Atkins is currently England's best centre for me. |

Centre is a really interesting one as their appears to be a few good candidates. Just had a look at the Opta stats and the best three would appear to be
Cudjoe
Crookes
and not previously mentioned on here Dean Collis
Not far behind that you have
Moon
Watkins,Wardle and Atkins.

You mean Atkins who barely gets a look in for England.
Watkins for me, the kid has it all. |

Watkins is brilliant with the ball in hand and a nightmare in defence.
The lad simply can't defend!

Danny Brough's the best half-back we've got. He doesn't get a look in for England? |

You've been pedaling this nonsence for 18 months now. His defence is fine, and improving. |

I think Atkins lacks too much technically both in positional defending and ball handling. He's a big, fast guy, but not a great centre, if you follow. Exceptional physical specimen, though. |

I've always thought he do a good job on the wing at international level but that route has been down for him with the emergence of terrific young wingers like Charnley and now Lineham. We've obviously got Ryan Hall as well. |

i said that when we signed him, but was proved wrong by the improvemnet and the way he played as a centre. now i think i was right all along, and should be a winger, before his pace goes. amazing athlete though |

Do you remember Vinny Anderson? Good back row, good when filling in on the wing - TERRIBLE CENTRE. Absolutely inept. |

He has to play for Scotland because he doesn't get a look-in for England. And he wants to play in a World Cup. |
