[QUOTE="Teh Mite, post: 346753, member: 12332"] If he plays like he did against Bath last weekend, Tindall isn't such a bad shout. However there's still the risk he'll go missing as he has oft times before. Seeing how he gets on for the challenge cup matches over the next fortnight may hold the key in that department. Playing inside him I guess the best options would be Walduck or Barritt (Yes, I know he's not English). Without that lot though, the midfield is really stuck; Hape isn't good enough, Barkley is too flakey, Clarke has lost all his pace and Noon... No, I won't go there. Tait is the only other option, but how many chances does he need before he'll finally deliver anything? Just another point you raise which makes me think is about Thompson; He was extremely good during the summer tour, but has done precisely bugger all since joining Leeds. Rivaling him for the shirt is Hartley who's been over-all very good since the season started but can never replicate his performances in an England shirt. Flip a coin and pick your hooker that way. Just so long as Mears, Chuter and Paice are kept well away from the England team (Oh please god!) [/QUOTE]
