Quote 21-12="21-12"Id love to know where he would fit in.
Fullbacks - bowen, hampshire, tierney
Stand offs - green, williams, sarginson, hampshire
scrum halves -Smith, powell.
He's never a centre in the memory of man, and if he was....
Thornley
Goulding
Gelling
Sarginson
Hughes.
We dont need him. End of chat.'"
firstly - he is a better half than powell
secondly - he is a better centre than thornley, gelling, sarginson and hughes. he's played there for saints and is a natural ball player who has the ability to fit in anywhere along the backs line.
just because someone has come through the wigan ranks does not mean they are automatically a good player. yes, we would like 1-13 born and bred in Wigan, but if players become available who are better than what we have - we would be fools not to buy them.
for all the potential that willams, tierney, powell have - its no guarantee that they will make it.
