That being said, I an still hoping (perhaps vainly) that CW can recover his form at centre. IMHO he was the **best centre in the world in 2010**.

Really? I think Chris is overrated as a center and should have been moved from there a while ago. He has good front on defence but laterally he is an easy beat. He has always been a pretty poor defender like this. Remember when he first hit grade? Sheens put him on the wing and he scored many tries. It looked like a master stroke but I am sure it was designed to hide him in defence. If he still had his pace that is where I would play him. However he doesnt so a LL type clone will work for now.

As for the best center in the world….not even in the top 5 mate. He had a lot of competition - not just from NSW but Queensland especially and then NZ and GB. He wasnt in that class for mine.

Stand by it. Chris has good speed, see his try against the Sharks at leichhardt that year where he left gardiner for dead. He also had an unparalled ability to unlock his winger. Something we have been seriously lacking this year.

We called for a stint at backrower a while ago and I like it thus far. The fact he can alternate that step wider is an asset as well
 
Thought he had a very solid game tonight. Seemed to be running freely - not the crap limping and weak jogging we saw earlier in the season.

Our back five at the moment are playing great. I'd have Koroibete come back through State Cup. His positioning in defence is very suspect and while Nofoaluma, Reddy, Ayshford, Lawrence and Simona are playing great footy I'd rather have them in the top grade

he played centre all night when he came on, reddy moved to the backrow.

No he didn't

x 2… lawrence was 3 in defensively.

Yep and Reddy scored the try from center correct me if I am wrong. :sign:

I thought Reddy scored that try from the backrow, because Lawrence and Simona were seen in a wider position as Reddy went through the hole infield.
 
lawrence wrapped around reddy for that try. was a good play.

maybe we are all wrong and he was playing halfback with sirro in the backrow? 😵

lol let's just leave it as it is
 
I would have sworn black and blue that Chris was in the second row but i just watched the replay of the second half and he was definately at left centre.

I rewatched the game today. Lawrence was playing centre every second he was on the park. Once he came on Reddy played the remainder of the game in the backrow.
