Good speed and passing game, defensively fine, just needs a longer run of games and time to develop further. Loose forward for me, wasted as a prop, not enough power/aggression. Good young player that the club should look at as a long term option.

I'm also in the play him at 13 club. Think his game is made for the modern version of a loose forward.

Not big enough for prop. Pace, passing game and strength for loose forward.

No,no,no!
Where will Washbrook play?

It's about time we put faith in our own, therefore Washbrook should be moving on.

If we adopted that stance we would have to let go all the team go that played against Leeds. It could be of course you are still prejudiced against Washbrook.

Washbrook has been playing well recently and at the moment deserves his place in the 17.

Agreed.
I'll back the youth but they need to earn it too.
Washbrook has been better than most.

Well when will we give the likes of Annakin and Walshaw a long run in the first team? Pretty much every other team has done it with theirs. I'll gladly say that Washbrook has been playing better since Agar left, but for me it's pretty embarrassing to see other clubs have their own talent in their starting line up and we don't.

Oh go f*ck yourself

at a guess it is because when Agar came the kids hadn't been looked after so it would have been unfair to throw them in if they weren't up to it. No point getting kids beaten up and any confidence destroyed. Now we have relegation do it's unfortunately no time to be giving kids a go until the club is safe. I'm guessing the teams you are talking about are all in the top 6? So will have plenty of internationals around them without any fear of losing their place in SL. The awful downside to getting rid of licensing.
