It depends what the situation is with JT, do they think he will stay at centre. Apparently we are chasing King according to a few on here. I would be happy to go into next season with King and JT at centre.

I really hope Carmont changes his mind though.

In our SL grand final team we had two quality centres in Gleeson and Carmont, the position is underrated in terms of how important it is to the team in attack and defense.
Next season we potentially could have a SR convert and Marsh/Goulding, we've fallen backward in such a key area, it's something that surely must be the priority.

I'd like to see King at Wigan in the centres with another new centre allowing JT to move back to the SR. I've mentioned who I'd also like at Wigan in the other centre spot if Carmont is to retire.

I like the look of:
Tomkins
Charnley Ashysford King Richards
Finch Mellor
Fielden Tommy Lima
Hock Tomkins
Lockers

As a starting 13.

Ayshford already signed a new deal at Wests.

No, but I've been there every other week since the friendlies, and for someone who had never played Centre before, he's doing a better job than I expected him too.

One bad/good performance doesn't mean that's that for a player.

I don't think I underate the position.

I just trust that JT can step up and become a class centre to replace Gleeson. We do need a top replacement for Carmont though.

Sorry, didn't mean you personally underrate the position, just that it's an area which is in need of attention.

Here's a question, despite his 'rocky' personal past, would to have Gleeson back? Personally I would.

Hes not had one bad performance. Hes had a few there. Over runs his winger far to much. Hes playing second rower in a centre position just moved over a man.

No way in a million years should Joel be Wigan's centre next year.

In fact I'd go as far as saying I'd put lockers at Centre this year and get Joel in at 13 popping up all over the pitch.
