Even Rogues likes Percival
Percival is a decent player but still very raw. He needs games to develop his awareness in defence especially.
If we were to bring in a Centre it would be more for Turner than Percival for me.

Percival deserves to be played although we are exposed defensively with the wing and centre pairings. All the young backs seem have some defensive flaws which can only improve. However playing another young back like Wheeler at stand off only makes the problem worse. For me we certainly could do with an experienced stand off or centre just to steady things down until more experience is gained. An out and out stand off for me is the key signing.
I am quite happy with his one on one tackling ATM it's just his decision making in defence that needs to be worked on. I also think it is magnified by some poor decisions made by Swift who I think needs more work on his defence than Percival. If he had someone with experience like Francis Meli outside him to give him some guidance I think a lot of his defensive frailties would be ironed out quickly.
(Although it would make him a nervous wreck under the high ball).
Have to agree, Turner going through the motions again yesterday, didn't even make an attempt to contest for Londons last try.
Yet another thread that ends up discussing Wigan thanks to BM. We can only dream of the day he's banned or bothers to post his drivel on his own teams forum.
We sign a centre and put Turner stand off?
Id prefer we sign a centre and a stand off and put Turner in the stands with me
Percy seems to be better since he filled out a bit.If he can keep fit he will be a top player.
Learned comment from The Don
Latest rumour I've heard is that our ' utility' for next year will be Tommy Lee. Awful I know. I just pray it isn't true. Not checked but I'm pretty sure Lee played for Huddersfield under Brown as well
