So sad to hear about possibly signing these 2 old men who CANNOT play a long season at that age, do we never learn, we have a problem playing for 80 minutes, we already have too many 30 + players, we simply do not deliver good young players that we believe in, yes we have young players but we have very little faith in them !
I hoped with WP, we would change our culture, but it seems same of/as before, I am in praise of Carter but, I am afraid we are held back by lack of vision !

Rather see Crowther and Pitts continue at 13. Seems to be working well this past few games. Pitts looks good at 13 in the middle.

Whilst agreeing with the sentiment of your post Steve Ella is the same age as me… and had just turned 28 when he played with us…

I actually believe Batchelor is showing far more promise than the two named.

Having just finished watching all the RL Nations down under tear a strip off each other, I was amazed to see how many players present were from feeder clubs .Some real talent ,no 10 &16 for PNG were animals and looked like they could run through brick walls and were hands full for a not too shabby Fuji side .There was quality all over the shop in every team that I had the privilege to watch ,and I’d definitely be on the blower talking to agents or players asap because come the World Cup were in for a real treat going by what I’ve just witnessed and Englands job just got a whole lot harder .

I absolutely want to see crowther develope and both him and pits play

Taylor coming in should have a positive impact for us especially on a developing player like crowther
