Quote: Last Son of Wigan "He was tried at centre for a run of games last season, he looked a million miles off, in attack and more evidently in defence. The role is massively different. Reminded me of how Pat Richards was when tried at centre.
I don't get this obsession with moving Burgess to centre. (I know it's not you mate) It's like someone's looked at his size and pace, saw his hand off and breaks v Cas, factored in that we have Davies and Marshall and come to a conclusion he could be a centre.
It's as if people don't get how different the positions are.'"
Long term it’s something I’d consider but in the shorter term he needs to stay on the wing where he’s just started to get back to something like his best. He’s benefitting more then most from the competition for places as I feel he’s the type of lad that needs to be pushed and there’s improvement in him yet.
Ultimately he’s our best winger both in regards to natural talent and current form so I wouldn’t rock the boat. In saying that I also wouldn’t rule out a future at centre for him down the line because he has the size and the skills to maybe be a success in that position but the time isn’t right to try that currently imo.
