[QUOTE="Mumbles119, post: 1058018, member: 68434"] Agree with comments on need for new 8, 9, 10, and 12. Ignoring what Eddie will most likely do, I would love to see: 8. Dombrandt 9. Robson / 21. Quirke 10. Smith But I have literally no idea about 12! Especially when trying to fit with the right 13. This feels like the biggest problem right now. I don’t want it to be Farrell, that feels like just holding back any improvement. Manu at 12 - tempting outside of Smith, but will probably not make it through the training weeks, and then a filler 12 not having trained will have to take his place (insert Farrell here). Manu at 13 - more tempting as a replacement 13 for inevitable injury seems an easier choice with Slade, Lawrence or Marchant. So this leaves choices for 12 around Kellly, Lawrence, Atkinson, or who else am I missing? Would Atkinson be the more experienced (club level only I know) older head at 12 to support Smith properly? TLDR: Please help with a balanced team choice of England 12 & 13 that matches with Marcus Smith, and does not include Farrell (and probably Manu due to inevitable injury)? [/QUOTE]
