[QUOTE="McTallshort, post: 775757, member: 53362"] It worked for Warburton but the same thing didn't work for Robshaw. Sometimes picking a rookie works other times it doesn't. Lots of people point to carling and how he was such a success but the circumstances were completely different. When he was made captain England had a massive dominate pack, the team had been underperforming because drinking and unclean living were the norm and Carling was seen as a good, clean living, almost professional bloke who happened to be a good centre. He relied very heavily on the likes of Dooley, Moore, Proyben and Richards. There just isn't those type of characters in the current EPS to support a rookie. Hartley is the best of a bad bunch but happy to proven wrong. [/QUOTE]
