Why is Dodds a gamble?

There seems to be a few waiting in the wings though. Looks like Whitehead will finally get a shot. Joe greenwood looks a good prospect as well as Bateman, Stevie Ward and our own Ben Currie, so I thinks it's a position with potential...?

Interesting article in the Guardian

And yet 3 of the woeful ones are in the current England squad......2 of the others ie Sims and Clark were I would suggest certainly better than woeful and the likes of Harrison Wilde King Philbin Dwyer Evans Laithwaite etc could never be accused of woefulness. Your case would be laughed out of court!!

I stand by the statement that the pack as a whole was poor during 2015. Presumably Tony Smith agrees with that view and that is the reason why he replaced 50% of it for 2016.

There are other threads on the forum which discuss whether or not Wilde, King, Philbin, Dwyer, Evans, Laithwaite could achieve the levels of performance for an elite Super League side 17. I think the consensus was that not one of them is yet at that level.

"Pack was woeful"....,

I can't give that statement an argument.
Possibly the worst pack since the blanked out dark times of Anderson and Plange.
There are individual forwards that singularly can carry credit during periods.
