I think that's a little unfair. We seem to forget that he was injured mid May-January. I have no doubt he will come good. It really says it all when a young lad making the step up from part time to full time footy is getting starts over a former test captain.

I wasn't actually being critical in England's case. It does look more promising for him, he was running hard at the Leeds line, didn't seem to drop anything, didn't get involved in any confrontations and from what I can remember, got through a reasonable tackling stint. But he needs to make better use of his size and gain more yardage when taking the ball up, and lets not forget he is not a young lad at all, he is 27 yrs old - a prime age for a prop. With a bit of luck he will stay injury free to the end of the season and we can see if he makes the transition or not.

If England can stay injury free, the game time will do him good and he will end up a decent SL prop.

The problem England has, is that we are trying to compare him with Hill... who is a FREAK and head and shoulders the best prop in super league.

we cant expect any signing to come in and be as good as hill, as its not going to happen.

If he can be half as good as hill, I'll be happy. However at times it does look like he's coming to terms with SL, the handling errors are disappearing, and were using him in a very specific way in attack.

I like the way England runs the ball in with everything he has.... he is a maximum effort player.... hopefully he keeps on improving and does us proud.

He has improved no end over the last 6 games.... you can see every aspect of his game getting better. I think we will be looking at a solid prop before the season ends.

Needs more discipline in the defensive line for me, he loves a big shot, and it's all very well nailing a guy but if that guy he's just put in row z gets the ball out he leaves holes.

you just hate props.... i have your number yed

i will be watching your comments on future games

Pah, Hill is a beast and Westwood is my man crush.

hill is a beast and westwood is the beating heart of this side.

to be honest im taking objection to the 'waterhouse is amazing' posts i saw last week.

ive still seen nothing from him that warrants this false love in i get to read from the usual crowd.

laithwaite, Evans and Currie (injury permitting) have shown as much as 'house' ever has.... we certainly haven't missed him since he has been injured.... infact, we have been much improved.

if you dont like that, i dont care....

'but he has a great defense'

where is Kirmond when you need him...

Hill has been unbelievable. Go back a few years though when he first started playing for us and (for me) you can see the similarities in the way that both Hill and England now have always whammed onto the
the ball. I think England has been terrific for us and is odds on to be the next Hill/Walmsley.

I was chuffed with our win on Friday , but even more happy with the performance.

My only other comment is directed to the Leeds club & that is can we please have Zak Hardaker!. Just for the next 10 years or so.

.... I'm not so sure our club condones homophobic players.
Unless Zac was using the power of media to tell his misses to have feckin faggots on the table for tea when he gets home.

He is a very good player but I am more than happy with matty Russell. Once he sorts out his distribution and timing in attack I am convinced we will have a big fans favourite for years to come. His defence is superb, very good with the high ball and he returns the ball as well as anyone in the league. Also I think his pace is a nice insurance policy when our line does get broken.
