centres need to be good defensively. u r the conservatives with your 1 back, 3 forward bench imo. do u think all those.
i c tate n slater as similar style of players.
i c hodges as in between
i c inglis,bowen, lockyer thurston, hunt as similar.
ne1 else c it like this?
Matt Cooper is very under-rated, he has attack and defence, he is in the brink of the gasnier shadows of the dragons, because a slightly better player, is in the media, and is perhaps the best centre in the game.
Matt imo, is the best all round centre, but i believe hodges attack is so freakish, that he tops the best, his attack needs work sure, but it isnt overly terrible, just needs fine tuning.
imo tate and slaters game are completely different, tate is the conservative player, who only plays safe football, while slater takes educated risks and has great acceleration.
hodges is probably closer to tates game than billys, but hodges is far better than tate atm in all departments of the centre postion
Inglis and Slater have their own style of play, and no one else has shown otherwise alike.
