Agree that Atkins and Bridge are arguably the best 2 centres in the league. The only one that comes close IMO is Carmont.

But what about other players you've been wrong about?

For me I didn't think Carvell or Solomona were going to be good signings, just shows how wrong I am.

It was the 2004 season where Gaskell, Westwood, Wainwirght & Nathan Wood played the left edge and must have put each other into touch just over 1000 times that forced change.

He was strong at centre, just had no elusiveness and couldn't find his winger. For me, his line of running were poor which surprises me a tad, as a backrower now, I think he runs some very intellgent lines with & without the ball.

Westwood was a pretty good centre in what was a struggling side when he joined, I think any negativity is rather unwarranted.

He was actually signed on the recommendation of Nathan Wood who the club only originally approached.

Nail on the head, although I'm not wrong, I just offer a different opinion.



IMO most of the best props of the last few years have come from the 2nd row, think Wiki, Morley, Peacock. I honestly think at international level he could be very good at prop. He has all the right atttributes.

Horatio Yed - See Ditas Slot Meter. Every player in the league is athletic almost but I mean athletic and agile, thats how I think a 2nd rower should be, prime example bing Lee Gilmour, he for me epitomises the 2nd row position.

When I see Luauki, Lautiti, Solomona etc playing prop I just see them as a prop playing 2nd row.

Bridge is the best british centre. But I personally prefer Carmont, I think he's just pure quality. Definately Bridge over Joel Tomkins though!

Players I was wrong about.....

- Richie Mathers. Was genuinely excited when we signed him from Gold Coast. He was god awful for Wigan.

- Danny Brough. Didn't think he'd do anything when he went to Hudds, turns out he's actually a quality player (just with a screwed up face).

- Kyle Eastmond. I thought he was gonna end up a world beater.

Ben Westwood excels at RL when he doesn't have to think too much. Giving him things like a winger and a touchline to worry about was too much for the man.
