just listened to that - he does name the team!!

It worries me that our backs aside from the full back are the same as last season. We weren't good enough in the backs then and I suppose I worry it will be more of the same. Weird that Gibson is out and I thought Hall probably performed better than any of the other backs in pre-season. Maybe Brian sees him as a back up half rather than a centre but I thought he played well when he played as did Walton...

We need to trust BS although I was surprised that Arundel is ahead of Walton at centre.

Bill Tupou and Jason Walton are both big strong running centres and would have helped out with some go forward in heavy conditions against a big Widnes side.

Walton isn't big. I grant you he runs hard but on wet pitched likeit was at Fev he continually got knocked on his and ended up further back than where he started. I liked his bravey and on firmer pitches I see a place for him - tomorrow will be a day for trundlers and we have a few of those.

Walton had a good game against Fev and made yardage. He is 5ft 11 tall and 16 1/2 stone so is big/heavy for a centre and has been known to play second row in the past. I thought he'd be more of a 'trundler' in heavy conditions than Arundel...Ashley Gibson played against Fev and is one for the firmer pitches...

One of the modern games wrecking ball centres is Konrad Hurrell at 16st and 6.0 tall, very similar in size
