i think that he's been simplyt outstanding. our best signing by a mile, and yes i include aiton in that.

No chance, not while he's here anyway!!!

Thought he was your best player by some distance against Leeds, and showed up well again this weekend...whether he'll get into the England squad is another question though. There's plenty of competition ahead of him. (Ellis, Burgess, Heighington, JJB, Wilkin etc)

i think he's worth a shot, i really do. i take the point about competition, but the point of the salary cap is that good players should be spread around, and i don't see many ahead of him on genuine merit.

Second best after Aiton, but yep should be in with a chance if he keeps it up but it's a congested area playr wise.

Definitely knocking on the door.

i think he is struggling to get in the full England squad, even if there are a few injuries about. I think there are quite a few players ahead of him.

I think he's been one of our top performers this season, and twice the player he was last time he was here. But, in my opinion, he is nowhere near international class.

Worthy of a shout atleast, but while he's playing for us i very much doubt it!

Would like to think he'll get called up for the Knights squad, don't think he will get in the full England squad though.

Wakey players are inelligible for England call-up.

the way he ripped it up at headingley must surely have caught the eye.

No it was Sinfield who caught the eye, literally, when he kicked out at Kirmo.

He's rubbish, not worth a look for England. Danny who?


[size=50Kirmonds been a stand out signing! Great to have a local lad doing so well, hence why we need him, so keep comments like that quiet![/size

Heighington? Don't make me laugh. And no disrepect to JJB but isn't he injured? Why should he just walk back into the Engalnd team?

That doesn't mean he's not England class.

A bit selfish but I agree

It's a selfish world.

The difference between this time round with Danny is I believe we match him in terms of potential.
We're a well run club now, rather than an extension of the Richardson family dining table.
Danny hated it here before, yet is reveling in the new approach & proving to be an astute pick in terms of vice captain, when most would have Washy in mind.

How good would it be to see Danny maturing into the captain of a strong team playing out of first class facilities at NM? Brilliant & even better he's a local lad.

The Exiles games are the perfect opportunity to see if fringe players can step up into the England setup imo. It will be a complete waste if McNamara selects over the hill players like Morley & Peacock as well as proven non performers like Sinfield & Jones Buchanan. It is not a real International and with the World Cup coming up in 2013 i think players like Kirmond should be considered and i think he would do well.

I know for a fact that is not correct. Feel free to make any point you wish but best leave out the conjecture.

Whilst I agree he has been playing very well, I think he is unlucky that we have such a high quality of backrow player at the moment.

I personally hope that they use Burgess as an out and out Prop which could open up a space, with players like Peacock and Morley missing out altogether. Sadly though I doubt this will happen.

Got to admit I thought it was pretty well known from the various people who spoke to him att that he enjoyed it here, that's why he came back.

Hes being outstanding all season the form players should get picked and its time to call time on the old guard they have had more than enough chances

I reckon he needs to keep performing at the standard he has set for himself.

Whilst acknowledging that there is competition for places at the top level, I don't see where Wilkin has much more to offer - and he keeps getting the nod (not that I agree with it).

Reminds me very much of a young Gareth Ellis before the big step gave way to the offload game. If DK can make a step up in defence and find a little extra fitness he'll make the grade in my book. I too think he's got more to offer than Wilkin, who would look average in a Trin shirt, but that's just my opinion.
