[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 624184, member: 55446"] I can't remember who made the point, but Castro leaving Tigers and Tigers not having a replacement for him to rival Cole, has ultimately been bad for all parties - Cole, Leicester and England. By extension, I don't think it's a surprise that Cole was at his absolute best, back when he had just overtaken Castro as first-choice at Tigers. Started the big games and got all the experience from that, but also wasn't overplayed since Castro got a lot of game time. Gave him the perfect balance of rest and high-intensity rugby in which to develop. At least Thomas isn't under any pressure, joining Bath to be behind Wilson. Hopefully it'll kick his game up a notch. [/QUOTE]
