did you also see josh morris that game? narrowly denied twice, gunned jennings for pace easily, big, footwork, and deadly close to the line. proved last year that his combination with his winger is very potent, imagine if that were his brother. the better choice plus lyon/idris right, jennings isn't a left centre! morris is the better choice
Narrowly denied twice against a centre you're saying can't defend though. :lol: although if you actually watched him play you would realise that his defence isn't as bad as people make out and that he has also improved a lot since last season.
As for his pace... having a screwed knee will slow down pretty much anyone. He needs surgery but has put it off in hopes of making the Origin team. Josh Morris wasn't the only one that caught him. Michael Gordon was matching pace with Josh Morris as he chased Jenko down.
That said, I wouldn't pick Jennings for Origin with his knee the way it is. He quiet often gets up out of tackles with a bit of a limp and his pace is definitely suffering aswell.
Also... Jennings spent the majority of his career at left centre. His form at left centre is what got him picked for City, NSW and Australia last season. They played him on the right as he's more comfortable on either side of the field then most centres. He asked to be moved to the right this season as that's where he was more likely to be picked in rep teams.
