It's fare to say I've not been the first in line to fly a flag for him. He has the build to be the best forward in the world...
Considering his height with build he has been posted on here by others of having a low metre carry. It seems that if he caught a pass and fell over on the spot the right way, he would improve on his carry statistic...
Just saying!

Just a guess, but reading between the lines we are looking to sign another Aussie prop and are therefore looking at clubs to off load England. Its perhaps a bit harsh on him, but he has consistently failed to impress at the HJ and is another TS gamble that has not paid off. Not heard anything yet about Wheeler either. Is he being given another year out of curtesy ? Again, not the lads fault if he is injury prone, but we can ill afford passengers after two poor seasons.

Thought i saw Wheeler on a few pictures at the members day, so I would presume he'd be around next year.
As for England, I think we all hoped he'd turn out the same way as Chris Hill, unfortunately that hasn't happened.
So Hill. Sims, Dodds, Evans, King Harrison and maybe Westwood to cover 8,10 & 13 plus rotation 1 long term injury and the rest are playing every game.
With Currie, Hughes, Wilde, Laithwaite and Philbin to cover 11 and 12.
I think there is enough cover in the second row with Westwood still in the frame but I wouldn't fancy any of the second rowers moving your the 8,10 & 13 positions for any length of time. I would be a bit happier with what we have if we were dropping to 8 interchanges next season but I think it is the year after. Also does anybody have an update on Laithwaite s recovery. If he is in a similar boat to Grix then that does leave us light.

You would think offloading Monaghan, Grix, England & possibly Wheeler, should allow us space to bring in a decent prop and a good centre, which would be squad complete for me.

I don't think the idea is to drop England and not recruit. I think we are looking to let England go to allow us to bring a better prop in.
