Quote: Phuzzy "So no actual reasons for that belief then. Fair enough. Not really sure how to counter that other than to say that clearly his best position is currently wing but I still don't see why that would preclude him being equally effective as a centre given time, training and experience in that position. It seems you don't either so I guess that's the end of that particular discussion.'"
I didn't have that belief, you put thise words down attributed them to me and I hadn't said them.
To be fair as I said earlier I wasn't so much arguing with your point but just saying that 2/3 times you said I'd said something that I hadn't. That's all.
Budgie has played centre at junior level, academy level etc.
He currently could "Do a job" there.
But currently he's a far better winger than he is centre or full back.
We currently have 3 1st team wingers, saints have 3, most teams do, I don't thinknthats excessive.
You talk about having to lose players because we have 3.
What happens if one gets injured and we only have 1 with no other juniors currently in the frame to step up?
We play budgie centre and we have 3 x centre's, do we let 1 of the others go and only have 2? (what do we do then if budgie and say gildart get injured and we have no back up?).
Wigan have built up a squad of players and I'm over the moon that currently for the first time in 2 years we have fit players and competition for places, I see that as a positive not a problem.
