| Quote tank123="tank123"Never seen Ryan King play but seems some people have high hopes for him. How good is he in relation to Charnley and Goulding.'"
Seen him yesterday for only the 2nd time but he looked a real talent. He was my mom after scoring a try and setting one up with a stunning break to turn the game in our favour. He also made about 2 or 3 breaks in the 2nd half.
In terms of how he looks/plays he's a stocky-ish lad and isnt the tallest. He's taller then Ainscough and looked to have good power. He's faster then Goulding and I'd guess similar to Charnley. He looked a confident lad willing to back himself and I think he'd thrive playing first team.
Matty Russell was official mom and looked another gem. He is rapid and has sensational footwork. He is brave as well and I loved how he ran in to space full tilt and shirked nothing. He looked very special and given time could give us a great option at fullback allowing Sam to develop back at 6. I love Sam at fullback and unless somebody could offer that same attacking threat I wouldn't want to move him but I truly believe this lad could.
Exciting times. |

He's been "training" all season with no change.He's just as raw as a centre now as he was when he first started,and I don't see it changing with an off season I'm afraid.He's done the job he was asked to do, but we need a specialist centre for next season |

Thanks lets hope he gets his chance as this season MM has not given any new player a real chance compared to what happend last year. |

| Quote Cherry.Pie="Cherry.Pie"Some people suggest playing Charnley at centre but how much patience will fans have with him? It's quite likely that if Charnley was given the centre position he would struggle quite a lot defensively, basically because that's what happens to most young centres. Centre isn't his natural position, he's been a winger pretty much all of his career so he'll still have to learn the role just like Joel Tomkins has been doing. Sticking Charnley at centre and King on the wing just gives an inexperienced partnership and lots of adjusting to do.'"
Didn't Josh play centre when on loan at HKR last season, and do very well? |

He did play centre and do very well, but not defensively from what I saw. |

I will go so far as to say had Joel taken the pass of his brother we would be heading for the Grand Final.
He is a very talented player indeed, he just is not a centre.
