Quote: post "On the Joel subject, we have been crying out for an enforcer for ages and with Joel we have one in the making and he reminds me a bit of a young Morley, it will take a few daft penalties and a few more years under his belt but he will get there in the end, Joel is in this years dream team, made his England debut and people are calling for him to be dropped because of a brain fart.
He just needs MM and SW to sort his discipline out but not rub it out completely, look at Wayne Rooney for instance, he needs that bit of temper and aggression for him to play at his best and I think Joel and Sam are the same.'"
Spot on.
I can't believe i've read people questioning his place in he side. Our pack wouldn't be anywhere near as effective or aggressive without Joel in there. He plays the game on the edge in everything he does and thats why he makes some errors and gives away some pens but he brings more then enough to the party.
One of the first names on the sheet for me.
