I am sorry but what is that based on. Tuson was outstanding last week when he came on and is always a dependable player off the bench who does nothing wrong. We need to keep players like this.

Marsh has not once let us down in the few games he has played for us, he has good footwork and has the makings of a good centre. Im sure Wigan will be watching him closely at Widnes and at some point in the future he could be in line for a run in the team at centre just like Goulding has had this year.

In terms of who I would keep...

Marsh
Tuson
Mcillorum
OLoughlin

all british and all great squad players.

The jury is out for both Fielden and Amos. Right now I think we will give Fielden a contract and Amos will go but things can change.

Ideally I would keep Finch but if hes not happy then let him go. Hes a good player he can really pull the strings for us at times but at other times he can be a liability with knock ons and stray passes.


If Finch goes we need to line up a suitable replacement. Dureau would be great signing.

I like the look at Moon at Salford, he would be a good buy to replace Carmont.

We must by a 9 to replace Tommy in my eyes, but then they say this Carberry is good as people say he is I can see us give Mickey Mac the full reigns for a year while we bring this lad through but if we do that I am not sure 2013 will see us win any silverware, as Mcillorum is too inconsistant on attack.

He's doing well as a centre, but his best performances have still been on the wing. I'll start to believe he's right for the shirt he's got when he does the business in a close game against one of the big four.


Surely this was a prime opportunity to give him a shot in his preferred position though? With Gelling being brought in.


I think he looked like a fish out of water, and playing him on the wing can't have helped

But Hughes preferred position is second row, you've selected him at centre.

I dont think they have at all and some of his performances this season at centre have been top notch. Goulding is a natural centre and always has been, he represented England at every underage level in that position and he had never even played wing until he was in his 20s and played there in the first team. He is our starting centre and to juggle the team around even more when there is no need makes no sense.



Hughes natural position is second row and he has hardly ever played centre so it is not his preferred position at all. He even represented England academy at second row.



Gelling is hardly a natural centre either and is more of a second row and Auckland fans said this was his best position. He was put on the wing because his defence and positioning arent up to scratch at centre.

Aye but I would have played him at second row v Widnes, when Goulding was available

He has been doing a good job at centre in the last few games, albeit against weak opposition, but a natural centre? His main strengths are his finishing, his agility and his speed off the mark. His main weaknesses are poor defensive decision making, not passing and he's not very strong. He's clearly gone some way to overcoming his weaknesses, and those strengths are still good attributes for a centre to have in his nal, but I still think he's a winger playing at centre, and that Gelling at centre with Goulding on the wing makes much more sense than vice versa.


That's what I'm saying, it would be nice to see him get a run there. I reckon he would already prove a better option in the back row than Tuson


I'll have to bow to your greater knowledge if he's more of a second row than a centre, I was always told he was a centre. Either way, a second rower is further out of position on the wing than he is at centre, no?
