Bruno for me does not have the skills , l could be wrong but being a forward for so long, they will have been knocked out of him, l don,t know the ages of posters here , but if you think his physique is a problem, you never saw Paul Newlove.
l,d still give it to Wood.

Bruno is not the same body shape as Paul newlove! (One of the best centres wver)

I know Murphy played at Wakey, he has for us as well but that doesn't mean he is a centre

Bruno played centre for us, but he isn't one now

Murphy is a good, solid winger and a makeshift fullback but he lacks strength and the skill to be a centre, he's one of my favourite players don't get me wrong but he isn't our answer at 4, or 1 and I think Ormsby is a better 5

I remember Sam Wood playing opposite Gelling when we played Wigan down at our place, and he handled Gelling very well indeed. In fact as good as any centre I saw last season as Gelling had a good season. But he got very little or no game time for the rest of the season. Basing him on defending against Gelling ,I think he is worth a go this season.

Yep, and the massive hull right hand side last season too!

We are after Kris Welham from Bradford according to L Express.

I hope not

That's got to be a troll surely. A player released by a side going down to the championship... No thanks

I'm not sure why you think this is a troll. we can't sign anyone else at this time of year!

kris welham is interesting

he was quite a high level performer a few years ago, england knights squad member so not far off playing for england

seemed to lose his way though and went to bulls, reports he has gone quite well their last season

we shall see

It's true Leigh & yourselves in for Welham, Leigh have taken James Clare leaving you in talks with Welham.

Adam Obrien in talks aswell with yourselves & KR

Well everyone keeps saying we need a hooker and a centre.
This is the only way we are going to get either one in the next 5 weeks unless there's another sleeping with someone else's wife (or dog) scandal!

Been thinking about this all day and have come to the conclusion Welham and O Brien could be a good bit of business.

Sam Wood is a great prospect and when he fills out he could be excellent. Saw him the other day and still looks relatively skinny. If Gaskell is injured we are definitely short of cover in the centres. Welham is experienced and fairly strong and would be good as a squad man.

O Brien is a young hooker and has played superleague before and gives cover if Kruise gets injured and could turn out to be a decent hooker.

Providing Welham is a 1 year deal and not a thewlis 4 year special I would say it's a good bit of business to fill in for injuries.

Welham is and always has been a turnstile in defence.

be very happy with o brien, remember him looking lively as a hooker versus at odsal as a youngster
