Actually that wasn't the purpose of the cap.ian.birchall wrote: ↑Fri May 13, 2022 10:20 amBut that is what the salary cap was designed to do, stop the 'top teams' signing all the best players and thus equalise the playing standards of all the teams, only wait, how many teams have actually won the Grand Final? The Bulls of course are not even in the Superleague of course now.
But KPP is a second rower! I can see if they keep playing KPP at centre it will be another Jack Hughes scenario IMOWiganer Ted wrote: ↑Fri May 13, 2022 9:22 pm KPP is yet to return and he could play right centre with French as his wingman.
Left side Thornley and Marshall.
That gives us a back three who are flyers and both centres, big men around 6'5".
Halsall to be back up.
I could understand it if the club don't up their present offer to Bibby.
I think there's definitely a limit on how good he could become as a centre and it would seem to be much lower than his potential as a back rower. He just has everything you'd want from a back row forward. However, he only has to be better than our other options at centre and better than what we're likely to get from elsewhere in order to be the right player for that position. The only thing that matters is what's best for the team. I think his attacking talent has been wasted at centre so far, but barring one big mistake against Castleford his defence has been outstanding (and our defence currently is nowhere near good enough), so it's all about the team dynamic.josie andrews wrote: ↑Fri May 13, 2022 9:46 pm But KPP is a second rower!

Nicholson has the same skill set.lucky 13 wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 11:23 am I'm Ok with KPP at centre his skill set is completely different to Hughes his off load and passing game are a massive plus. He's also different agility wise. I was really impressed with him defensively the Ca game was another learning curve in the most difficult position defensively for me. Obviously he's a good tackler and mostly dominates even when in the forwards. I could see him developing into that position well both defensively and he will always be a threat ball in hand.
Smith and Cust is another plus they seem comfortable together and offer plenty control and threat. I know you may think I'm mad but depending if Tommy goes again Ratchford may be and ideal back up player. Can cover full back halves centre and the goal kicking if Smith was out. The young forwards have still got development in them but another hard running prop a centre would be my choices going forward.
