I didn't mean Walmsley himself - I know what you mean about his long term injury. I just meant somebody of that calibre. The England forward pack is the most feared on the international scene. There was an article running in the Australian press before the last world cup saying that also. I don't see why we always have to go for NRL imports when we have some fantastic forwards already in super league.

I also know Rhys Evans is a 27yr old 2nd division Centre ditched from SL
with zero interest in him & no record whatsoever of being a capeble SL back up Wing or FB.

Zero interest until a coach who has coached him before has decided to to take a punt for 12 months He'll fill in on the wing and maybe centre if he's crap then he won't get picked.

WE shouln't have lost Ben Markland. Outstanding in last year's Academy games.

So you would play a winger not 18 until March who is only 5ft 6 and 12 and a it bit stones against seasoned SL players?

We' ve a new V3 version of this thread subject now available at the very top of this site in the £sticky" section.

I'm going to leave this thread unlocked until the end of Monday night (6.1.20) then I'm locking it up and moving this over to the new V3 version.
