From 2 yards out

He's not a centre though he played well at kr there but he's a winger

Doesn't matter. Still gets us 4 points.

Bet you didn't mind when he scored at OT did you?

Played more games at centre than wing last year. Ainscough was mostly on that wing.

No but we need more than just someone who can run tries in even i could score 80% of the tries he did last year in that team

Charnley tonight was all over the shop and we need someone like that goulding wont take paaaaat's place and he wont take chanleys on this season

End of the day you put him in 21's he goes so no option

And where did he play better?

Put his stats up from centre to wing!

That would be a silly comparison, but as a centre his wingers got 9 tries in 6 games in the reserves, which isn't a bad return - in addition to his own 5 from 6. (haven't got his HKR centre stats handy, but I know they were excellent).

From watching him at hull kr and us he's a finisher through and through not a centre he should stay there

He's more of a centre than Marsh is. Did you see that pass to the Hoff?

Yeah but imo marsh isn't ready yet

Everytime marsh gets the ball he looks for the line and thats what wingers do goulding was the same i even said it on here when he was playing centre

Said exactly the same to my daughter during the game.

Just bear in mind why Charnley is playing, because Pat is injured. If there's one thing we've learnt so far this years it's that injuries do and will happen. We need to have more than 2 wingers, you get rid of Goulding and Charnley gets injured or Pat doesn't recover properly and you start to have problems.

For us last year he was showed much, much more than just being a finisher. He's got pace and decent hands, wasn't phased at all playing in a derby game and defended very well in all his loan games.

This lad can read the game very well, you'd waste him on the wing. Centre is where you need to play him.

It's a shame he played so well for Rovers last year as we'd have snapped him up in a heartbeat, this was never going to happen though as he's very highly regarded at your club, and rightly so.

For the record, 'all over the shop' generally means his positional sense was terrible/he made multiple mistakes. Neither of which was the case last night.

I recon he is great value at either position. He certainly will be pushing for a first 17 spot. He would fill the gap that gleeson has left at the moment , perfectly well. He also filling in for pat very well.

Seems he will be a star the lad, top game on the wing but he has more to offer for me. He could become a good and think he could cover fullback with ease. Showed a little more than Marsh but he let no one down either. Showing some good promise from these two.

I'd give him a shot at centre next week. He's full of confidence and will easily handle the position imo. He's looks like the long term replacment for a certain number 3 if given the opportunity. I've praised Marsh again in the 1-2-3 thread as he's really been solid in the last couple of weeks but we need to pick our best side available and I couldn't quite squeeze him into that at the moment.

I know some may spit at this but Charnely reminds me in some ways of Chris Ashton - the good parts of Ashton's game, the ability to read a break, supporting the man and the burst of pace, better defender though already.

Similar in stature for sure but actually seems like a decent lad.

I never saw him in the u20s, however watched all his matches for blackpool, and he looked a very good prospect then, I'm glad to see him take his opportunity well, when pat returns he deserves to keep his spot, providing he keeps going which i'm sure he will.

Awesome effort from Josh Charnley. THAT TRY from Lockers' kick and the finish was world class. Many people bag Phil Clarke, but he was spot on there. The pass for Ryan Hoffman was awesome too. Fantastic player.

I see him as a centre in the future, but for now I wouldn't change a winning formula & would give him a few more games on the wing.

Charnley's try reminded me of how Edwards used to kick for Robinson.

I ment he was was everywhere doing right things it can have 2 meanings

Agreed, until Pat is back, then move him to right centre ahead of Marsh.

Played a bit at St Pats with him and he was a centre for 2 seasons and was so effective there, scored and set up bucketloads of tries. Obviously, that was a couple of years ago and Madge has probably seen his full potential and knows where he is more dangerous. The one thing I think could give him a good chance at centre is his strength, hes a big lad for a winger and you could see from his scoots and kick returns yesterday that he made good metres driving and often took a few players to stop him. That strength might not be utilised on the wing. Equally though, hes extremely quick and can exploit a game on the wing easily like he showed for Hoffman's try. Overall, hes a great prospect and worthy of a starting place IMO already. Good news hes on my fantasy team at the moment haha
