Really don't think so. MCB is a better player than BJB. Don't get me wrong BJB has been a good player but he is now coming to a point where that bit of pace and sparkle is now missing. Teams must keep evolving to stand still, so if MCB continues like this we must hang on to him this time.

That’s how i see it, it’s BJB who is the one MCB is the greater threat too. BJB has had a good career and it’s not over yet but the clock ticks. Sadly for him I can’t see a move off the wind for him as his pace goes. Doesn’t look Centre or FB capable and too slight for a forward, shame.

I think the BJB of 2017/18 would have backed himself at the end, and probably scored.

Hope I'm wrong but I do feel that he has lost his nerve a little

V impressed with MCB last night
Looked like he'd never being away from us

Great to have him back in the red white and blue

Don’t think it’s nerve it’s more speed and reaction time. The margins are tiny and age is imo the main factor.

It wasn't nerve, he just thought the ball was going a different way so overran. If he hadn't had to check he'd have easily scored.

Yeah, BJB probably thought there was no way Reece would pass and you can’t blame him because he very rarely does

Ben is fine, just hasn’t had very much ball this season and the ball he has had hasn’t been great, still brings a lot and still confident in his ability as a top winger

Re: Mcb : Fri Apr 19, 2019 6:15 pm  

BJB is bound to begin losing a little confidence. You don't go from one of Super League's leading try scorers to a has been in four months. It would be nice if Reece would supply a little more in the way of passes to Ben once in a while. It's significant that he scored two tries against Wigan when Reece had gone off.

Our centres available after 3 are injured is a problem, what quality do we have that's ready from the under 19s ?

Re: Mcb : Fri Apr 19, 2019 8:59 pm  

Reece is a fine player, but, he is not a c!assic centre, he does not draw a man & pass to put his winger away, however, he is unorodox & therefore things happen & sometimes they come off. He runs lines as an inside winger & not as a centre. But I do like him.

Summed up perfectly for me.
