Spoke to Bobbie Goulding at the Leigh v TO game and he said that while he wants to give the French lads first dibs "I'd be a fool to leave out Greenshields wouldn't I?" |

Indeed. So, when will the full interview be out? In all fairness, I can't think of another etranger we would want in the side. While there are some good long-serving forign players, only Greenshields stands out filling a void in the side. I could see Mogg as a possibility, but not a good option long-term as we need to find a French SO. I think McGuire, as good as he is, would send out the wrong message, why McGuire when we have Bently? |

Mogg and McGuire are the others mentioned. Don't you think they would be good for the national side? |

Sorry, editing my post while you answered. In short, wrong message, Mogg at a push, but I'd still reckon not. |

I'd go with Mogg and Greenshields. Agree with the McGuire point. |

Would we want Mogg in the side for more than a year? We would hope that Guash/Bartheau would fill in within a year or two. I know Mogg could be an option in the centres, but it would be wrong to play him ahead of Baile or Raguin. It seems a contentious decision for injury cover. |

Wouldn't it be a good idea to have Mogg in the squad showing the younger lads the ropes? What level are those lads playing at the moment? I'd imagine it would be quite a leap for them to go from their domestic competition to facing the Aussies, England and the world champions. |

Fair enough. Is it fair to do this to Mogg though? If he was not in the squad, could he not be given a role in training? |
