Ultimately I think we acknowledge we need a good all round centre and I’m just thinking out loud half the time , forums are there to express opinions whether we all agree or not is somewhat irrelevant.
Last season it looked as though Tibbs would develop into a top quality centre, still young and relatively inexperienced he seems to have lost a bit of confidence not helped by being shifted back out to the wing after injury. I see some similarities to JWH, who for years showed potential but was never able to nail down one position consistently. I love Mcombs energy and enthusiasm, and he rarely let's team down, but at some stage I hope Tibbs gets another chance at centre.

Gannon at centre, A big ask for someone who plays mostly in the middle. Second rows can cover centre as they used to defending wider but a prop. As they used to say on Laugh In " Interesting but stoopid."
Woody is best fullback in Championship. Should not move him unless all half backs crocked.
Even then i would play Gannon in the halves before moving JWH.

When Fax signed him they said he was "a young prop" and most things I have read have said prop or loose forward. These days the two positions seem interchangeable , as per Fairbank and Tangata.
Though what Pendlebury and Renilson would have thought of it I have no idea. Oh for one of those two or even a Halmshaw .

We had Jacob Gannon last year and he definitely didn't look like a prop. He played more edge backrow. No idea if he can play centre - he never played there for us. Hopefully you have him on your right side as our left side will be equally inexperienced if Gill is still out.
