You don't need pace to be a good centre though.

:lol: so far so good with those players! How is Brierley doing?

Early days - he's only had 40 minutes at Salford, but was impressive. But then they were all impressive that day! A confident young man, who seems to like try things.

Its hard to tell in videos like that though, as it all depends at what stage of the game they are at and also how fast the other blokes are around him!

Plus as has been said you don't need to have pace to be a centre.

Looks like a decent prospect, knows how to run forward at least!

jimmy grehan is already here and training at the club comes highly recomended from dale fritz and he holds a uk passport so the formalaties should be straight forward.

looks very big and powerful off the clips but has others have said not the fastest in the world .

Well he can't be too shabby a player if Fritzy rates him highly

Ok he may not be the fastest but with Youngquest, Arundel and Owen in the backline (subject to fitness and availability in the future in Owen's case) we aren't too badly served now.

If a player breaks the line his he not supposed to have support players to finish off who are quicker ?

Jimmy is a fine prospect very level headed young man, Basil knows all about him as he comes from Woolongong .
Mother and father are both English and personally would love him to play for Ireland as his grandfather Jimmy was as Irish as they come and a coalminer to boot.

Basil will bring the best out of Jimmy has he does with most young players .
You might have just unearthed a gem here

thats very nice to hear and im not knocking his pace just saying what i saw from the clips, pace isnt everything if you have a player that runs the right channels and he certainly looks to do that,you obviously know him and the family well and hopefully by the end of the season so will the rest of super league.

Who are you then?
Do you think he's better suited as a centre or 2nd rower?
