Centres: are they done?

[T-Boon]

Is there one good centre in the game?
They just aren't a part of the way the game is played anymore. Centres are supposed to make line breaks right? Line breaks are sort of thing of the past. Tries are mainly from wingers getting on the outside and diving around the opposition winger.
Admittedly I mainly watch Parra. Jennings, Hayne, Takarangi. I cant even tell you what these guys have done all year. Take a few hit ups. Make some tackles.

Not your best work

 

[David brown]

Yeah pack this one in... 1/10

 

[T-Boon]

we need to talk about these things.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Roberts is really fast

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

Centres make far more line breaks & impact when games are played in quarters .

 

[T-Boon]

Who would be the highest rated centre in the game now? I cannot think of any.
Roberts? Would be even in the top 30 players in the game?
Latrell Mitchell? Top 50 even?

The guy at dragons with a weird name is very good

yes he would be a good edge forward, hits the illusion of a gap ok (there are no actual gaps any more), he needs to make more tackles so that he can be an EF.

No he’s a genuine centre three-quarter and it should stay that way.

Chambers is the best centre in the game. Curtis Scott will be the best very soon

And NSW still won't pick him.

 

[Brutus]

Brad Parker is special

Why pick a good quality centre to play centre when you can put Jarryd Hayne there or Josh Dugan

The old "how many fullbacks can we squeeze into a backline"' trick.

Turbo to be the next in the NSW production line of fullbacks playing out of position.

Mitchell from the roosters is a f*cking good centre.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Marsters has been awesome out of the new young breed coming through even though he had a quiet one last night.

 

[T-Boon]

Boyle Corner is the best three off the rucker.
I am going to call that position the 3.

If I were running a team, I’d move my best centre to apex
