Which is no bad thing given our current set up and the way Ashton, Thewlis and Dufty are playing and add to that Fitzgibbon's lines.

I'm happy enough with it, the exception for me is Wrench who could develop into a really top strike centre.

I think Wrench has the potential to be an exceptional player, and it's a shame that injuries have prevented him from making as many appearances as he should have done. I like a lot of what Tai brings to the side, but his link play with his winger worries me a bit. He got away with one when he scored in the semi-final, but he should have passed to Thewlis. I want players to be habitually making the right decisions in those instances. King has been very solid this season - gets through loads of work and often makes good post-contact metres, getting us on the front foot. Ratchford, at this stage of his career, is very much in the 'can fill in at centre if necessary' category. On the whole, it's nice to have four options, none of whom regard running 30 metres across field for a zero metres gain as an acceptable attacking strategy.

I like the way Tai is improving game by game. Thought he was excellent against Catalans.

Tai is improving. He is as hard as nails, but agree about him making the wrong choice even though he scores. Got the monkey of his back though.
King is putting in a decent shift.
Wrench needs a sustained run to really develop.

I'd argue none of them - and centres in general these days - are at the same standard as Matt King, Chris Bridge, Toa, Jiffy or Ryan Atkins - and that's just off the top of my head from Warrington (let alone Lyon, Meninga, Connelly etc).

Gleeson was elite IMO

I think our centres are solid and reasonable. As others have said, Wrench could turn into a top class strike centre but he isn't there yet by any means. Tai and King have flaws but are working hard. Are there better centres in the league? Yes there certainly are. I don't think there's many better wingers, full backs, stand offs and back rowers in SL than we have in our squad though so centre is an area we can definitely improve on.

Agree 100% with this, I was talking about the centre position and from watching Giants I liked the look of Masters, problem is he is an ageing centre but as done well to get a good deal at Salford now. Not sure how much longer Ratchford is going to be around and don’t know who is coming through the academy but I do think we need someone to come in.

Aaron Lindop is a centre.

He has only played wing in the 1st team as cover and to ease him into Superleague.

For his age, he is one of most promising centres in England.

Wasn't aware about Marsters to Salford and agree he looks handy, do you know how/if this affects Macdonald and Lafai?

Not that I'm massively panicking from our POV

lafai is being linked to hull fc

Up until Huddersfield, I’d had said Wrench over Tai.
Wrench is solid pacey, but Tai has become a footballer and solidified our right hand side that was leaking points.

I’m not point the finger at Wrench, but since he got injured, Richie Marshall has worked a wonder.

My initial reaction was 'great signing for Hull FC if they get him', but he will be 34 next May, so it's very short-term. Then again, from a Hull FC perspective, they just need something to get excited about right now, whether it's short-term or not.

Happy about our centres as others have said.
King solid both sides of the ball, has a very good offload and can be a threat in the air.
Tai really come on like a young Olam, really doing his job defensively, and his carries out from defence had made me wince, I certainly would not try to stop him
Wrench is awesome when he's on it I'd say hes third quickest in the team good step and swerve, if he improves his defence he will be great rather than good.

Ratch now should only be there as cover when all of the other three are unavailable, he will do a job but attacks stop with him there at centre, he is definitely doing a job and will be great to have in the squad, (im sure he is partly behind JTs improved kicking)but not starting before any of the others

Improvement on his passing game, is much needed..

That Try in the semi by Tai, screwed me up for a big pay day.
I put £5 on Drinkwater at 33/1 1st try scorer, and £5 on Powell last try scorer at 40/1!!
