I've been more impressed with Lindop in his few matches than I have with Wrench to be honest.

Tai is far from the finished article. He has improved this year - particularly his defensive reads, but decisions in attack need to be worked on.
He's first choice for me at RC but Lindop is not far behind.

Have we even seen Lindop at right centre yet? I thought his games at centre were on the left (when King was injured) and, to state the obvious, it does make a difference whether you are passing left or right.

To be clear, Im not Roderick's dad. But we did spend a lot of the earky season bemoaning our RHS defence and, over the course of the year, Thewlis and Tai have formed a terrific defensive partnership - not just watertight, but aggeessive. Let's not chuck that away because Tai got greedy when we were 60-0 up.

there's no way roddy's getting dropped now, if he's fit he's in

both him and king have done a decent job in replicating what wigan's centres did for them (and if you read next door's forum, plenty of people lamenting that their backs minus king haven't let them get a roll on the same this year) and whilst its not classy 80's centre play, there's less room for that in the modern game, shame that it is.

True. For me it wasn't the greedy try. It was that early pass to Thewlis obliterating the overlap that made me rub my eyes in disbelief. But I like Tai and think he is nailed on the the playoff games.

I wonder if Tai would be better in the BR, then we would still have Wrench, Lindop and King to play with. Tai doesn't seem to have the mind or passing abilities for a centre.

I think Rodders has an injury ,according to Big Sam. I think ,as Winslade hinted ,Tai would make a good forward.

I can forgive Tai for a couple of slips against Hudds. He stood up against Wigan and Saints, and looked every bit the part.

It's easy to forget he's only played 19 games at top level, and had only trained with a NRL club for a short while on a trial basis, yet he's still somehow one of Super League's top centres (the best defensive one by a mile). I think fans of other clubs look on in envy that we have Tai, as there are very few decent centres around. Remember that we were linked with Waqa Blake before Saints signed him. Just remember that :shock:

Ok so you're not Roderick's dad, but are you Monty Don?
