Having re-read Mike Gregory's book the other week, I'm pretty sure Bridge played in the centres when England Academy beat the Australians (Mathers was stand off). That's a fair while ago though, and he's not played there since. Centre is a pretty specialist position, so it may take him a few games to get into it. However, should Gleeson be out for a longer spell, perhaps worth a go.

Bridge has played centre for Warrington quite a few times including 20mins on Friday.

I stand corrected, the only one that comes readily to mind is the last time we played Salford on Good Friday, couple of years ago?.

Correct. Bridge did play centre.

Doesn't he play for Huddersfield?

...and PJ is on his way back after knee reconstruction.

I was under the impression Cullen played him there for a while as he desperatly wanted to try and fit him in somewhere.

Possible. But Bridge played a lot of his youth rugby as a centre and played as centre when the team he was in beat the Australian schoolboys.

Therefore maybe his best position is in fact centre.

No not at centre, Cullen played him on the wing because Nat Wood and Briers were the backs and then Sullivan, until Sullivan got moved to Hooker and then Bridge took his place, he played nearly all year on the wing i think.

The overwhelming conclusion seems to be that, when fully fit, he is a talent that you try and get in the team somewhere (when he was in on the wing in 2005 I think Cullen said something along those lines).

The key for him is coming back, getting a run of games, match fitness and confidence under his belt. I think long term he is a six, but certainly talented enough to play anywhere in the back line.
