[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1126260, member: 73144"] Bringing this over from the Transfers Rumours thread. Sorry for getting nit picky, but it's one position where we have some potential. No more at this stage. Watson's proven. So's May and if he can get back to anything like and both can stay fit then there are your 2 RWC starters. After that both positions could be up for grabs and there's not really anyone who's made even a fairly convincing case for succession. Malins has just been dropped by a 2nd consecutive coach. Arundell has all the potential in the world, but is still wet behind the ears and his few senior starts have been at FB (bar, er Ire…..). Nowell has the broader game but not the gas and is off to Fra anyhow. OHC got canned and Coka's seemingly out of the picture. Marchant's a centre really and off to Fra too. Daly’s an option I guess although I’d rather see him at 13. Radwan's been unlucky in my book but also unproven at this level. Loader’s now getting some good press but we have no idea how that might translate to the bigger stage either. There are others too, but no-one has really screamed over a consistent period that the shirt must be theirs. I’ve always been a fan of serious gas, but watching Hansen and Lowe for Ire does make you rethink that a bit. Then again they tend to get the ball in their hands a bit more than our guys….. [/QUOTE]
