Clubb, Gale, Gardner, Graves, Grayshon, Haggerty (born in England before you moan), Kaye, May, Mbu, LMS, Melling, Nanyn, O'Callaghan, Orr, Purdham, Sharp, Ward, Wells and Williams are all English so its not like they would be the odd one out.

QRL is a very attractive proposition and its just a case of will a player take the plunge and move down to the Smoke?

Skee has always impressed when I have seen the reserves. I imagine he would be in with a shout, along with as you say Gigot and Gale.

I hope that next time Orr is injured that BM gives either Skee or Gigot a chance. We will never know if they are SL standard unless he gives them a game and SH is too specialised a position for 'make do' solutions by other non SH players

To be fair, Dorn goes there and Purdham to SO, which worked out nicely for Leeds

Not sure Skee is really SL standard. Gale looks okay having spells off the bench as an impact hooker (even if he does do those silly Benji Marshall style hop, skip, jump routines), but he struggles to control a game which means we fall apart when Orr goes off he's left as the main organiser. In some respects he's just a less effective Rinaldi, Rinaldi was competent at scrum half at SL level, although he was more effective as an option off the bench.

Purdham can play effectively at standoff and centre, but we lose too much from our defence and attacking support play when he moves from loose forward. Not to mention that having him somewhere other than loose forward inevitably costs us a play making option, because none of our other back row forwards are as good with ball in hand.
