[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 1042893, member: 34990"] I feel it looks like I'm being quite harsh on him: Don't get me wrong, Earl is a great player - just feel like he's fallen into the trap that some backs do in that they've not nailed down a firm position, and that hurts him vs the specialists when it comes to international selection He's still very young, and maybe when he goes back to Saracens he'll get to focus on a singular position and make it is his own. I think Rhodes is leaving? Obviously they're very different types of players but maybe he could nail down that 6 shirt (or 7, with Wray shifting - didn't Wray start out life at 8? Probably more suited to 6 than Earl - though Earl would have a job overtaking Curry/Underhill/Willis for a 7 shirt for England) [/QUOTE]
