I don't think it's a case that his face doesn't fit. He was doing very well before injury early last season and now it's a one on one vs Sutcliffe. Does seems he isn't deemed a 2nd row though.

Sutcliffe for me. He was class at the backend of last season.

I love Jimmy at centre. His attitude and commitment can't be faulted. If it wasn't for his injury last year, I'm sure he'd have the 4 on his back. Having said that Sutcliffe needs game there to develop and find out if he can be a top class player. Jimmy should defo be in the 17 though

In my opinion Keinhorst is the classier centre as he has better footwork, makes intelligent and better running lines, and has a better defence. Sutcliffe has been solid but for me plays like a back rower in the centres and still makes too many wrong decisions.

Spot on.

Jimmy 'The Shimmy' Keinhorst for me. Always been a fan.

Good to have competition for places.

It’s a tough choice between them at centre. It’s tough to drop Keinhorst after his mom performance. Both are well ahead of Walters (who is in the WCC 19 man squad).

stick with sutcliffe for me.he could hav another decade as our LC and needs to be left alone now to learn his trade in one position. Keinhorst has proved his value to the squad and for the foreseeable future has earned his place in any 17. his utility value and no frills graft is invaluable over a season.

I think that Sutcliffe has never established himself as a first choice in any position despite being given a lot of opportunities at 6, 1, 13 and 4. He is one of those players that has never fulfilled his early promise in the same way that Ward, Walker and Golding have done. Having said that he is a more than useful squad player who can play well in several positions but not consistently well enough to claim a position as his own.



IMO he is not dynamic or creative enough on attack as a back and so I now see him as a back row forward who can fill in in several positions in the backs and as such will be a valuable member of the squad.



Keinhorst is a superior centre as he has better balance, footwork, defence and is a better reader of play shown in his lines of running and linking with his winger.

Sutcliffe can be too much of a passenger for me. He shows some good moments and potential, but he's guilty of waiting for the game to come to him rather than actively getting himself involved. Jimmy is a grafter, and does look more silky/classy, but Sutcliffe probably has more natural ability, but needs to apply hinself more.

It's Jimmy for me at the moment.

Fair points. Watkins too has a tendency to be too passive at times which leaves us offering little threat from either centre too often for my liking. Of the three I think Keinhorst is the least naturally gifted but paradoxically is most likely to make something happen.
