The youngsters need to be given a go this year instead of signing a player towards the back end of there career. Johnstone got a run out and did really well, Moran has been in the first team environment for 3 years and still hasn’t had a proper chance plus Robson who was standout for the u19s all year and is highly thought of by the coaches all need game time next season

mmm its all about opinions of course..

I'd argue we have 1 good centre, 1 ageing on his way out or into the pack centre and one bang average/ordinary centre.

Livett..not convinced at all that he has what it takes to be competing at the top. I saw him have 1 good game last season v a Leeds side that went on to fight relegation.
Currie...in all likelihood finished as a player..hope I'm wrong.

Our centres need to be fast, creative and powerful....all I saw on Saturday was slow and clueless...add in the slow and clueless half backs and its no real surprise that we fell short in both finals.

You might think this harsh..fair enough...but IMO its the difference between 'runner up' and 'winner'.

I think he has a great career in front of him if he can stay injury free, he has been good this season IMO and been out best centre. Our centres looked clueless on Saturday because every time they received the ball they had a Wigan wall in front of them. The combination between the Wigan defence being absolutely superb and the ball movement from our halves being laboured and quite easy to read meant that the centres didn't have any space really. Saturday was not a game to judge centres IMO.

You could be right of course, but I think our centres are good enough for next year, however, we will need one soon though, Goodwin and atkins don't have too many years left. I would take gelling in a heartbeat but I can't see us changing this year.

Harsh but true. Remember the chaotic days of the later DVDV era. The halves and centres were: Langer, Briers, Kohe-Love and Hunte. Or in the early years at the Halliwell Jones, it was Nat Wood and Briers/Appo in the halves and we had centres like Grose, Gleeson and Kohe-Love.

The current team is massively advanced from them in terms of organisation and structure, but those guys could finish off plays and when we got in the last 20/30 yards of the field there were lots of routes through which a try could come. At the moment its just hard work for us to score a try, we pass the ball from one side to the other and hope that somehow an overlap will appear for Charnley or Lineham.

In this respect we're still where we were in 2015 and 2017, either side of the time with Sandow where for all his faults, there were a lot more potential routes for a try at any time, and defences knew that too.

I would love to transport those DVDV or Cullen players into the current side, with Steve Price as coach, we'd be stand out favourites for SL next year.

Toby has all the scope to be a class centre....that's it.
Goodwin has been great in the middle period of the season...he'll have 12 months in him but we know it takes him time to come back from a knock.
Atkins is a fit guy but he may be just cover.
I'd like another but class out and out monster.

I couldn't read anymore than this, and that was the DVDV era. It's shocking how SL quality has slipped so much.

Well Walkers re-signed with Widnes so that's a no go.

I think you will find they have signed Brad Walker so Danny should still be ours.

I never said Brad....I said Danny.

Never really understand why new signings take so long to announce.

Leeds have just signed one in Konrad Hurrell.

Impressive signing for them and will go well over here. We should have been all over that IMO.

well i would say the obvious answer is, he hasn't actually signed yet, despite what every tom duckie and harry on here say.

There will also be a case of managing the flow of information to the media I expect, Guardian will be full of news and interviews from the Grand Final this week, no point announcing a signing to go along side it. Send it out in a quieter news week and maximise PR exposure and references in local and whatever limited national press the spot gets these days.

Or like you say, he could just not have signed officially on the dotted yet.

That depends on who you know

Awesome i thought it was Danny who had re-signed
