But he's never played winger has he? I thought he was a second row/centre when we signed him, so he's been playing out of position.

I'd just like to give him a run further infield purely for that reason. He just doesn't look like a winger at all to me, give him a shot in his more natural position.

I know he wasn't signed as a winger but I think he's been used there to learn the game a bit better and get up to speed with SL. What I'm saying is that centre is a much more demanding position. Charnley gets twitchy on his wing when he's not confident in his centre (see Joel last year). He'd do fine at SR I think, it's just that is our position with the most strength in depth and him playing on thw wing has also been needs must with Pat out so long.

If he hasn't got the postional sense, handling or finishing skills to be a winger then I don't think he'll make it as a centre, my opinion of course.

Gelling looks as though he would do better on the right wing as he carries the ball in his right hand which makes it more difficult to hand off his opponent in his present left wing position.
However that would mean Charnley moving to the left which is probably unfair, and I can't remember if he ever played left wing at academy level. (I'll check Bilkos site)

I take it that you haven't been watching Wigan for long?

I'm sure he played left wing last year when Pat was out for the beginning of the season?

You might be right, I seem to remember he was on the left (with Gelling on the right) for the Widnes away game? I've tried to delete that game from my memory, so could be wrong.

I do remember him playing some games on the left in the reserves, he and Ainscough used to swap wings a lot.
