I'd say Gleeson was better. The GF winning season, he was outstanding imo. |

Hard to find a better centre pairing ever in SL than Gleeson and Carmont or Connolly and Renouf.
It's a real shame we've treated the position as a 'utility' one over the last 5 years.

Gong back before SL Henry Paul and ‘inga the non winger’ were sensational….and the only pairing in my bracket imho…!
Or Connolly and Inga for that matter…. |

Iro & Bell weren't bad either (Miles was brilliant but only for a very short time sadly)

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

But they were probably more "strike" centres.
Every winger outside Gleeson scored tries, he and Carmont were more "wingers" centres. |

Forgot about Kevin (the beast) yep him anf Bell.
Picked Miles because of his 1 season and he made Offiah so many tries ,a true wingers centre. |

Gidley was the best wingers centre I’ve ever seen. Made a superstar of Ady Gardener!

Connolly and Inga for me
but...
when you delve into the possibilities
H. Paul - FB, Centre, Halves
Connolly - FB, Centre, Wing
Radlinski - FB, Centre, Wing
Robinson, FB, Wing, Halves
Inga, Centre, Wing
Edwards, FB, Halves
Botica, FB, Wing, Centre, Halves
All played in the same era, the team wasn't weakened if you moved them all around. Imagine having that option now. We grumble about 1 player moving position these days.All world class players.
