Saints game was a preseason game and as previously mentioned - He switched there, and I don't think playing poorly on the Wing in that game is a fair assessment of his overall abilities as a Winger, he had a bit of a dodgy start overall 2015 amidst all of the Hullabaloo about his contract with Roosters.
The CAS game to be honest I'd forgot - Couldn't tell you how much of a hand he had in Manfredi's tries, I've slept since, but don't remember it being Jamie Lyon or Steve Renouf esque
In fact Joel T played a dozen at Centre that year and Bateman 10 and a 19yr old Gildart played the last 7 games even though we had Charnley/Manfredi & Burgess fit.
1 start at centre in approximately 2 1/2 seasons suggests he's a Winger not a centre.
Bateman/Joel Tomkins/Isa all been selected more times at centre than Budgie in the same period
Anyway - I'm Sure Mr Wane etc. will make the right decision

Yeah he's definitely a winger, and a talented one at that, no argument from me there, I just think he can do pretty well at centre also. Anyway, like you say, a decision for greater minds than ours! |

Tomkins or Forsyth for me. I wouldn't be against seeing Burgess given a run at centre at some point but I probably wouldn't start it tomorrow in such a big game with him coming back from injury.
If Forsyth plays he's likely to have to switch over to the left with Burgess outside of him and Faz and Williams on the inside. I'm not sure what his natural side is but that should give him every chance.

The only problem I have with Joel at centre is that Gelling will probably play on the right so Joel would have to play left centre when he's played most of his career on the right. I suspect it'll be Isa or Burgess at left centre.

I'm pretty certain it'll be Burgess tbh but I'm not convinced it should be.
At least we have an option this week which makes a nice change.

I'll take that thank you! Lockers, MM and Budgie all looked fine to me with Budgie looking like he had never been away. Only Gelling was off the pace and was wisely taken off later on. |

Joe Burgess I apologise! I didn't think the team were great today but he was a mountain in the centres.
A cracking option they've opened up there today.

He was, wasn't he? How harsh it would have been to drop Marshall, especially when he made that wonderful Nofoaluma-esque finish!
