Quote DannyT="DannyT"Joel doesn't have a clue how to defend in the centres when he has runners coming at him though. They are both at fault but Joel moreso in my opinion.'"
Both of them are extremely inexperienced as SL level and its showing - Particulary when we have SL best centre wing partnership on the other side.
IMO Madge should direct them both to man mark - lets start with the basics and then they can learn the positional play better from there. It all starts going wrong with the sliding defence IMO and the blame is 50/50- its just that Charnley is often made to look like its his fault when half the time its joels.
Basically one slides over too far and the other ends up overcompensating ending up in a right mess. Joel also often starts too far in field leaving a big gap between the centre and wing and josh has to come in. The issue with Joel being he is playing as a centre but still in some aspects playing like a second row, taking the natural narrow centre position.
1:1 work with Carmont should be a priority who IMO is one of the greatest positional centres I have seen.
Pair charnley with Paaaat as well for an hour or two each week in training and you'll soon see the benefits. Joel and Josh still has massive potential to be one of the best centre wing partnerships in the league but we just need to work on the positional play.
. The footwork to beat hodgson was brilliant
