Tony Clubb - potentially the best young centre in SL the next would be Goulding who was harshly treated by Noble in his quest for an all Aussies 3/4 line

From what I've seen of Clubb he looks to lack pace.

I would not be surprised to see Clubb end up in the second row. What is his defense like

Shenton is a much better player than both IMO, Goulding is very average.

I agree.

i go to Wakey games by train from York and usually see his Ma and Pa on the train from Leeds station and we have a few chats and i can definately say he was a Bradford fan but is very loyal to Wakey and JK now

I can also say he was definately a Leeds fan not that it now matters as he loves Wakey!

His defense is good. He hits very hard.

On those Whatuira is by far the best. However I think Leeds for the time being would be better off giving Watkins or Gibson a run in the centre. The contastant "rotation" of Gibson/Watkins and Ablett is not helping their development.

Lot of time for Darrell Goulding, if he can get a consistent injury free run he'll make a good SL centre for someone. Face (or more accurately, passport) doesn't seem to fit at Wigan for some reason.

i would say it is helping them, but not necessarily the team. Watkins in particular will have benefitted hugely from the games he has played.

Gibson it could be argued needs more game time though, as he is at a more advanced stage of his career then Watkins

He's to small, exactly the same reason why Ashley Gibson cant seem to make an impact.

Shenton for me. One of my favourite players in Superleague last season, and i think he would be good playing for Leeds.

Listen to them all talking sense, Shenny has no experience, overrated at Cas and gets creamed by Atkins every time

We're quite happy with this cluless centre so plan to keep him

Bearing in mind due to injury, we haven't had the luxury of watching Lee Smith have a run at the centres.....

Although I do agree that we need to sign someone else. How about any of these from Penrith Panthers might get them on the cheap seen as they are making room for their big new signing Terry Campese. Keith Peters, Matthew Bell, Maurice Blair, Junior Moors, Joel Romelo and Andrew Emelio, anyone take your fancy?

I say beat Penrith to the punch and get Campese for ourselves. Then there is Karmichael Hunt who still hasn't signed a new deal with anyone yet, a natural Full Back who can take up the centres no problem...
