Wigan rugby league, hated, adored but never ignored
Terry Newton - 07.11.78 - 26.09.10 - R.I.P.: |

| Quote: tugglesf78 "Lets be honest. Joel is only in the centres because Gleason shafted us. I dont think him move was the part of some grand plan, more that desperate times call for desperate measures.
He has done ok in the grand scheme of things but it is fair to say he is a much better back rower than a Centre. That is not to say he could not become a decent back given time.
I think he deserves a lot of credit for giving it a crack and it is a testament to his character that he has done it with enthusiasm and an open mind, but the time is right to get him back where he belongs.
Question is, who replaces him?'"
Absolutely spot on, Joel seems to have just got on with the job, despite centre not being his natural position and full credit to him, but Wigan do need to put him back in the second row if we can get a decent centre. |

Thanks for the input flower; duly noted your inability to read the original comment outlining him as the best British second row. He clearly isn't.

The point of the OP was that we are playing a great second row at centre. So what if hes not 'the' best? He could be, if we stop playing him at centre. |

Do you really think if there were any decent centres available then Maguire would have passed that opportunity and kept Joel there? Yet again you're missing the point, im not saying hes a rubbish centre, im not saying i know better than Michael Maguire, neither am I saying that Joel is the best second row ever, all im saying is that he is better at SR than he is at Centre. |

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

If you recall, but i know it does not suit your argument, we had a problem earlier in the season with our first choice centre. JT stepped up and has done reasonably well. But he is not a centre. |
