i think thats massively unfair on both players, in particular inglis. both players run fantastic lines and defend well. being superb athletes obviously helps, but what more do you want from a centre? Inglis has great hands and feet as well i my opinion, i remember him schooling gasnier several times in Origin II 2007(?) and we've seen him do it time and time again at every level.

and talking about prospects, isnt welham about the same age as inglis, and im sure falou is about two years younger!!!

I like welham, but i think he's way down the pecking order and has a lot to learn. I just hope all this rubbish isnt a distraction for him.

Agree.

No matter what anyone says THAT TACKLE would have graced any international stage

He's a decent prospoect but touting him for an England call up is just another HDM non story. Anyway, he has to get past Yeaman, Hall and Briscoe to get anywhere near an England centre spot

We will all be able to compare in 6 days time

Why wont he'If he carries on playing and improving at the rate he is doing then i think it will be virtualy impossible for Smith to leave him out of his plans,
My guess is he will get a call up within the next year.

Can't be that hard then; Yeaman is a snail (albeit a very strong one), Hall is flaky (even though he's a talent) and Briscoe has a lot to prove beyond busting tackles and showing physical strength in terms of being an international three-quarter.

As things stand Shenton should definately get the nod at left centre in the June test but I certainly think Whelam has a shot of playing for England in the future because his main strength - being a natural try scorer with a great reading of the game and that counts for a lot. I just think he needs to sort out his goal line defence.

If what the press are saying obout him & others in our clubs Hull,s clubs could provide Englands back line probably one of the halves & at least one black & white in the forwards (dont think any of our forwards are there yet)

All waffle of course, however the over riding factor is that England's ginner quota will be filled by graham for some years to come so welham has no chance

I'm so impressed with this kid!
