England Rebuild

[j'nuh]

So who should we be thinking about in the second row for the six nations?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Presuming Palmer isn't in the frame:

I think we'll see:
Lawes
Attwood
Parling

Not sure about others though, maybe:
Kitchener?
Christian Day?
Kearnan Myall?
NOT JAMES GASKELL - He's playing terribly and has done for a season, f*** knows why Sale keep playing him

 

[j'nuh]

Yeah, I mean it seems a bit of a problem position at the minute. I hope Palmer can emulate Shaw and continue playing for a while and then a Lawes/Attwood/Palmer second row seems good enough going into the future, but how do we complete the squad, since we usually take 4-5 locks? I haven't seen Saracens this season - what's George Kruis like, and how is Botha playing?

Simon Shaw for the next 10 years should do the trick.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Shaw off to Toulon though, so will be unavailable

 

[McTallshort]

Borthwick and Deacon.....what?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Get out.

In the way of coaches, if we want a gum chewing **** I know just the guy.



In all seriousness he'd probably turn around our form quite considerably. Actually forget that I'm not being serious.

Regarding defence coaches I think it would be a bit harsh to get rid of Mike Ford when our defence was routinely our best area of play in the world cup.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

What!? my entire swear word was censored out?! How are people supposed to understand the sense of my post if they don't know which swear word I was going for. You at least need the first letter.

Johnson is fine in his place, Wells. Ford and Smith are the ones we need shot of (coaching wise). Until Andrew is rid of shoving his oar in on behalf of the [strike]board[/strike] corporate rent-a-mob who came to watch "Jonny", nothing will change.

 

[BigJoe78]

would like to see edwards given a place in the set up, possibly dean ryan.
We need a change at fly half so its time to axe Wilkinson and take time to develop Flood as a starting stand off, Owen farrell could do with being introduced in to the England set up but very slowly.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Marler is one for the future, but should have another season in the Saxons or so

Someone just liked this post from 11yrs ago, lol

Quite a fun thread for a bit of reminiscing. Good to see you banging the Seymour drum all the way back then @TRF_Olyy

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

I really think we'd have won 2 more world cups if we'd of had Seymour at 7.

I've always said* we needed more Sale players and less tigers players.




* this is not factually correct
