[QUOTE="goodNumber10, post: 662797, member: 71068"] Well that's exactly my point, if he is consistently played in one position and outperforms the England players then he gets a call up, but whilst he's a jack of all trades he doesn't deserve to be there - we don't really need a utility player. I think this is a bad move, and i'd like to see him at 12. To be honest, I think people are reading too much into an extended training squad. Lancaster has shown previously, that he is happy to rotate fringe players to see how they go in a set up... so whilst i think Wray is a steaming pile of dog gash, i understand why he's there. I think that's the same with other guys we may be thinking "WHY?" about, he has a look at the potential and puts them in an elite environment to see how they respond, and THAT is why i think Daley is missing because he's been in and around that scenario iirc, and hasn't addressed any of his issues over the last two season. Defence, inconsistent positional play, wild passing - i think he's got bags of potential but he's been in the Saxons squad and he can only live on reputation for so long. [/QUOTE]
