[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 1221771, member: 34990"] If Sinckler keeps his form up after his injury he'll likely come back into the EPS, just because good tightheads are worth their weight and there's a big experience gap behind Heyes, with the next in lines realistically a bit too young despite their talents Arundell will need to improve a lot before I'd feel comfortable seeing him there but media hype will likely push him closer than his performances deserve If Marchant comes back next season he'll be in the EPS/knocking on the door - we're still far from settled on a centre partnership and Lawrence missing the rest of the year won't do anything to help that settle His ability to play wing as well will boost him in SB's eyes too Willis isn't coming back (unless Wasps miraculously reappear in the Prem) - while he is definitely one of the best around in his position, his position is also arguably our strongest so we feel his absence the least Don't think anyone else would really rock the boat by coming back - like I love Ludlam but under SB he was mostly a squad player towards the end and we've had other players step up now Ribbans would help our lock depth issues but it'd be papering over cracks, I'd rather we look at other options before a journeyman saffer Sam Simmonds wouldn't make the EPS, I don't think [/QUOTE]
