Quote: ShortArse "....the reason Ive wanted him to have another stint at wing (didtn he play wing when he first came into the 1st team???), was to understand what its like relying on a centre to get hold of the ball.
perhaps he'll have learnt about how and when to release the ball, and will be become a better centre as a result of this stint.'"
An interesting point of view. I don't think he is ever going to be our first choice winger (I think he lacks the pace for that ) with a fully fit squad and so I think he must make a go of it eventually as a centre if he wants to be a first team regular.
As to this season so far from him I don't think you can ask for more in that he has IMO clearly bought into the MM philosophy and is playing as that philosophy demands. I am sure MM will like that but that in itself is IMO no guarantee of continued selection. That said he is fortunate both our 1st choice centres are no spring chickens so if he sticks around and learns to pass as ShortArse mentions above he may well have a future there.
