England Training Squad

[Raggs]

Anyone but Hartley and it would be nothing, Hartley perhaps not.

As for Strettle, 7 tries in the AP this season, 1 against Welsh, and 3 against Wasps in the opening game of the season. 4 tries since the very first game of the season? That's not making him an average scoring wing, especially considering he's in a team that's made it to the final.

Dave Strettle:
20 games, 8 tries

Tom Arscott:
19 games, 12 tries

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Matt Banahan...

I'm not even going to quote the stats. We all know where he deserves to be.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

If banana man was playing against Leicester every week then I would select him.

The turd seems to always play well against us.

17 games, 7 tries

Damn. Strettle has a marginally better strike rate.

Really? It feels like more. Or is that main league season only so doesn't include the hat trick in the semi?

That's including the semi!

Did he score a few in Europe? Seemed low to me as well, but that's what the Aviva site has him down for.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

In total he has 13 tries in 26 games

7 in 17 AP games
4 in 5 CC games
2 in 4 LV cup games

Also LOL semi.

I never understood why it was called a semi, until I got one around the time of Ford's try

 

[TheSaffycen]

According to your website he has scored 9 in 21, Strettle has scored 8 in 17+3 and Chris Ashton has scored 13 in 19+2. Where as Christian Wade has scored 12 in 18+1.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ooooh, if we're going all comps then Arscott is 15 tries in 20+5

Arscott is the new Seymour.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Tommy Seymour?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Tommy Seymour?

4 tries in 14 Pro12 games: 1 try every 3.5 games

12 tries in 19 Aviva games: 1 try in every 1.6 games

Arscott is clearly better than Tommy Seymour.

Is Arsecott one of your academy players? Sounds one for the future then, is he in the eng U20's team for the JWC?

Be interesting to see how he develops.

I think he needs a few years to mature. Maybe some coaching from Cueto, that should really improve him as a finisher.

(Oh gods...not this again).
