By the way anyone can get stats off wikipedia regarding Michaels.
I 'attacked' Radford for playing decrepid old men (one prop, one winger, you figure out who) instead of the youth when he had chance, I 'attacked' Radford for not giving Miller a chance, I 'attacked' Radford for binning off our young dream team centre, and yes I still think that playing JA at 6 at a time when he needs to be really pushed hard was the way to go because he will stagnate at Doncaster, he's shown already that he is ready but whatever.
And I've watched Michaels play, I don't need to go on wiki (which is bullshit anyway), he makes Yeaman look like a slug, he can tackle, he can pass & importantly he is great in the air which if he's to be left centre we need that because Yeaman & Talanoa are suspect in that area (in fact yeaman rarely ever leaves the ground).
Logan hasn't being all that pre-season, and with an attack like Warrington I want an experienced centre even if that means he's not 100% fit. IF he's no-where near fair enough but talk of not playing him because he had an infection in his knee over a month back is tosh (his routine clear out surgary was in December btw)
If as has being said we won't play Arundal for financial reasons & michaels is deemed a long way off then we only have Logan or Naughton to fall back on, those calling for Whiting to play there, well he got mullered last season playing centre and should be no-where near the backs.
