[QUOTE="Willodell100, post: 794735, member: 72123"] Yeah I see your argument and in an ideal world we would have a Christian Cullen mould available. However sadly we don't. Jason Robinson was a lethal runner but he wasn't great under the high ball and positionally was very average. Mike Brown was an effective runner but hasn't been that for a while. There are many ways to skin a cat & I think Goode has stood out in many games I've seen him play this season which, by definition, means he's a cut above. He might not have the quick feet of JR but he adds elsewhere. All you can ask (& Eddie Jones has done so publicly) is that the Eng squad & fringe players keep sticking their hands up while at their clubs & I think Goode has done so more than most other players. I understand the clamour for Watson to start there which I don't necessarily disagree with but Watson's passing or kicking game isn't anywhere near as good as Goode or his positional play for that matter. Anyway I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. [/QUOTE]
