Quote ="Exeter Rhino"Tickle may be in the running, but is his new form good enough to elevate him above the likes of Ablett, JJB, Wilkin etc and compete with Ellis, Westwood and Burgess who will be the obvious candidates? I like Tickle but always thought he was a bit small for England. At least Hock has the size, although not seen enough of him this year to comment - in past seasons he was something of a liability at times.'"
Tickle is a big lad mate, I saw hull play in the flesh on Sunday for the first time in a couple of years and was surprised how big he is. I think only Andy Lynch and Sam Moa looked bigger than him in Hulls team. He's definitely bigger than JJB and I don't think I'd be surprised if he was bigger than Ablett and Hock too. I'd be the first to admit I haven't seen much of JJB or Ablett for a while but I don't think tickle would look out of place at international level. I hope he gets a chance.
