Possibly because at the time he wasnt.

He is a player who has come on leaps and bounds this season. At the time we were really lacking in the forwards and the Lima signing was just a rummor.

We dont need a world class forward atm, just a grafter who likes the hard work. Griffin now fits that mold.

Surely centres are the focus, not another prop.

It depends what the situation is with JT, do they think he will stay at centre. Apparently we are chasing King according to a few on here. I would be happy to go into next season with King and JT at centre.

I really hope Carmont changes his mind though.

Yep, I'd go along with that.

Give Joel the No 3 shirt next year for me.

not after Saturdays performance I wouldnt, terrible passing game

In an ideal world King comes in to replace Gleeson and Carmont decides to stay but I can't see it. If we do go into next year with Joel at centre I'm happy enough but a move back to the pack would offset the loss of Hoffman.

An interesting off season is in store.

He's never a centre in a millions years imo

He's only played there for 2 months, and he's done a damn sight better than some we've had there.

In our SL grand final team we had two quality centres in Gleeson and Carmont, the position is underrated in terms of how important it is to the team in attack and defense.
Next season we potentially could have a SR convert and Marsh/Goulding, we've fallen backward in such a key area, it's something that surely must be the priority.

I'd like to see King at Wigan in the centres with another new centre allowing JT to move back to the SR. I've mentioned who I'd also like at Wigan in the other centre spot if Carmont is to retire.

I like the look of:
Tomkins
Charnley Ashysford King Richards
Finch Mellor
Fielden Tommy Lima
Hock Tomkins
Lockers

As a starting 13.

Ayshford already signed a new deal at Wests.

did you go Saturday?
