I personally think if we can bring in some cover at hooker then Berro would be better off in the centres. I have not always thought that but when he played there at the backend of the season you immediately saw his class and had Reece been more experienced then Berro would have put him in for tries. We have not had that at centre for a while so would like to see him there over a number of games.

That said I am not totally convinced about Washy at hooker so if we don't get any cover for hooker then Berro should probably play there with either Whiting/Turner at centre. The problem is from anattacking perspective in the centres they both do a solid job rather than a good one. Ideally Rovelli would have been good, covering 6,7, and 9 and allowing Berro to play centre.

Berrigan showed enough class to make this a debate for me but ultimately it would depend on how Washy went at hooker and that is something we can only guess at. Maybe have a look at him during the friendlies?

i'm still hoping we can bring rovelli in.

But in his first season (200icon_cool.gif with a poor team he looked a class player, setting up trys, scoring and making breaks.

I don't buy this playing in poor team a player of his class should be still showing how good a player he is, in a poor team, look at Rangi Chase last season in an average Cas team. Holdsworth at Salford is another example.

The odd times he has looked a cut above his teammates, but not very often (certainly not often enough).

I can see what you are saying about moving positions though, hopefully we will aloow him to settle in one position next year, be it centre or hooker and we will see him getting back to his 2008 form.

Spot on

Edit

I don't get it? Yeaman isn't slow.

I've only seen Chase and Holdsworth in a handful of games and highlights every week (as I suspect most non Cas and Salford fans do), and IMO they are excellent in flashes and anonymous at others. They are not showstopping for 80 minutes as the weakness of the teams around them don't enable them to be. Pretty much like Berrigan, then.

Yes, Paul - that's the only reason I don't rate him. I just hate any player born in Hull.

Well I suppose it's [ipossible[/i that he's just had an off day almost every time I've seen him since he debuted. Doesn't seem very likely though.


Indeed. Possibly not in the way that you mean, mind.
