Odd talent this bloke.
I know he has filled in many positions but he looked a great talent a few years ago. But hasn't lived up to the early hype.
Maybe a regular run-out in a pencilled in position will help him. Obviously Agar will be all over that.

Poor man's Kevin Sinfield.
Sort of a 6, but not really quick enough.
Kind of a 13, but not really physical enough.
Sinfield gets away with it by having an excellent handling and kicking game. Washbrook doesn't really have either to the same degree.

Did he? I think I must have blinked and missed that run, pass, tackle or whatever involvement it was that made people think he was a prospect.
I share Gilder's assessment.

You're cup's half empty this week old boy.
I liked the look of him when he came on the scene. That hype has never been converted, but being used left, right and centre has left him a little in no-mans-land.

Your
Smith (Tansey mk 2) has been handed the bum steer too ...never given a run in one position (FB) to claim his own/always asked to fill in a different position each time selected.
I hope Leeds don't make Hardaker, SO (or Ablett, LF) a Tansey mk 3

I don't believe that Hardaker is a similar character to either Tansey (too big for his boots) or Smith (the grass is always greener) but only time will tell.

| On the recruitment front for 2012 with Hardaker proving he could be a centre long-term and Hall and BJB on the wings with Watkins as the other centre, does it now make sense to sign a marquee centre? Would a better option be to get Senior back on a short-term contract (would he resign with the Rhinos for 2012 ?) and plan for Hardaker in the long-term? One difficulty might be the full-back position as 2012 is Webb's last season and either BJB or Hardaker could then slot in. Therefore we might still need to sign a centre.

Not yet satisfied the likes of Watkins can stay injury free for long enough...that should dictate the decision. However, as I have stated many times previously.....ONLY sign a player IF he is better than what the club currently has on the playing register.
So...Inglis, yes but another Delaney, no.

But would Senior fit the bill on a short-term basis?

God no.
Would rather see Wilson, other young lads and even Hauraki as extra centre cover

But you would support signing a new centre if they were better than what we already have (if any are available)?

| Not sure it makes much difference with one of his brothers moving to us, however, would like to see him move to us.

| Frosties, any idea if there is a chance of Senior being resigned instead of an external signing or will GH stick with the young backs we've got now for 2012? Webb needs to be also replaced after 2012 (if not before).

| Given the potential Hardaker has, I'd rather not sign another centre at all. Watkins may be injury prone (although I remember suggesting JJB should be dumped for that reason at about the same age) but he's got talent. There is absolutely no point in signing another Brett Delaney standard centre, or one who may be a bit better today but will black a position for two years. Given that we have pretty good cover in Ablett and Delaney, I just don't see the need.
What we do need is a hard running second row, and lets be honest we really ought to be seeing some of the forwards currently on the books leave.
