With our abundance of secondrowers, and the possible departure of Carmont at the end of the year, plus Madge's insistence on playing Joel at centre in the recent past. It does appear as though the club are at least contemplating playing him there.

Now obviously there's lot to consider, first of which being is Carmont worth another year beyond this present one? He's been superb so far this year, and like many have stated numerous times he did start his professional career late on.
Secondly, we have a whole host of young threequarters who could be possible replacement's, from Goulding and Charnley, to Marsh and Pryce. And it's important that we don't block their progression within the team.

Finally we have Joel, are most athletic backrower, and just one of numerous options we have to play in the secondrow.

Personally I'd like to see Carmont play on another year after this one, assuming he continues to play well and stay injury free. With Charnley slowly eased into replacing Carmont when he does eventually leave, and if Carmont isn't up to another year I'd still place Charnley there, but he must get plenty of game time at centre this year if that is the plan.
Whilst Joel would make a decent centre imo, I think he's best suited in the backrow and can still offer us decent cover at centre when needed. The nice thing is we've plenty of options, the tough thing being which option we go with.

I think he has the speed, size and skill to be one of the best british in a long time. Just needs to be coached into it.

With the amount of quality players we have in the second row, I would like to see Joel get more games at centre. Maybe he will if Gleeson is injured.

No he is not a centre.

Doesn't look a centre to me but then I thought Sam to fullback was a daft idea when it was first suggested.

Joel should some awesome pace to get back last night and make the tackle of the game in my opinion.

No, the same as Phil Bailey was never a centre.

I don't see him as an out-and-out centre, but he's more than useful as someone who can fill both roles - a bit like Wild or Gilmour (but much better than either, of course!). It gives us the option of not needing to carry a back on the bench.

better than Wild yes better than Gilmour not sure about that but he was one of your top 3 last night

Too early to say yet, he's useful as cover but I don't think he's ready for the shirt yet.

Better than Gilmour was at the same age, at least (which is why we let Bradford have him) - I guess time will tell on the rest of his career.

Carmont was outstanding on Sunday, if he keeps playing like that we'd be mad not to offer him another 12 months.

I think Joel could be a centre, his speed and footwork at time is class. Needs to be moulded a little but time will tell I guess.
