I guess it was all those times he bombed chances by not passing that have stuck with me, plus I'm not convinced of his out and out pace. Anyhow time will tell, I hope he goes on to flourish and be an England international (if he doesnt want to limit himself to Ireland).'"
Toby has enough pace. He ran from about half way and went through the defence like butter without a hand on him for his try vs Leeds! |

I thought you meant 'anyone'...you'd be nearer the expectation! |

I read we put an offer in for Reece Lyne. Wonder which centre he was to replace?

Give me a centre with good hands, footwork, awareness and intelligence over a centre with pace every time. Obviously, all these attributes would be useful but you can't have eveything.
The likes of Allan Bateman & Ronnie Duane. weren't lightning fast, for example. I don't recall Matt King being lightning quick and in recent years, Shenton has been one of the standout SL centres with very little speed about him.
Give me pace between the ears every time.

Best centres.
Phil Blake, Jiffy, Jamie Lyons, Chris Bridge to a lesser extent.
I know....all halves!

No comparison with King or Atkins there. The first 3 were world class.
I don't think putting Toby King and Atkins in the same sentence as Davies and Blake advances the discussion.

Proberbly a long term investment rather than a sudden change. Scratched my head a bit with this one to be fair, don't think he's that good myself. |

While the least you refer was more successful than any of them that played for Wire put together. |

On last nights performance tend to agree. |

We were discussing individual talent, not how successful the team was that contained them though. |

The strength of out glory period was largely on the back of the prolific scoring from Hicks and Joel. |

Hang on this is going in a weird direction. We were discussing Toby King, you widened the discussion to Blake and Davies as centres, now you are taking about wingers?
It seems to me quite obvious you believe everyone agrees Toby King is a top class centre, I am yet to reach that view, and you believe I am in a minority of one. No problem I can live with that. |

I think he's better at centre myself. |

I'm with Wires71 - yet to convince me he's going to go on to be a very classy centre but has potential certainly. Never quite got the Toby King love-in ever since his debut and outjumping Ryan Hall 3 times isn't going to win me over...yet. Hope he proves me wrong, under Price he's likely to.
