Hey guys, just wondered on your thoughts and ideas for what centres Wales should use.

I loved Jamie Roberts and James Hook, but now I think Hook has to play fly half, as I think Stephen Jones can't really keep up with the modern game.
Personally I'd love to see Gavin Henson (12) and Jamie Roberts (13). Both creative players and both solid defenders (in other words massive :p).
Any ideas?
 
Yes that is what we need to be creative and successful.
Although how you can pick a world class talent like Henson when Gareth Maule, Ashley Beck and Tom Riley have been putting in the hard work all year is beyond me.... LOL!
 
I think we should wait untill after the BaaBaa's match before discussing this propperly, because we still have almost no idea how Henson will cope at international level after so long out.
 
Like above has stated can't really call since Hensons not played international in years.

I'm not a huge fan of Jamie Roberts, way to predictable, but i think outside Gav, i could like him
 
Real options:

Jamie Roberts
Jonathan Davies
James Hook
Andrew Bishop

'Wouldn't it be nice if...' options:

Gavin Henson
Ashley Beck

Other guys who probably deserve a call-up on form but almost definately wouldn't cope at international level:

Ashley Smith
Gareth Maule
Daffydd Hewitt
Tom Riley

Don't deserve a call-up on gametime/form, but may be able to cope:

Scott Williams (Good prospect, but not ready yet)
Adam Hughes (Not enough gametime at centre, but looks impressive)

Feel free to add anyone I'm forgetting.
