Yes you’re right Horus.
 He wasn’t in their team last week, I assumed it was bit a bit tight for their training schedule, but maybe an injury issue?


Probably got to isolate as he was playing in London.
Let me tell you something cucumber

Yes very unlucky for Rob Miller, a player that never has a bad game.

It was either him, Josh or Matteo which is a decision I'm glad I didn't have to make.

Rob Miller comes across as a genuinely great bloke.
But I don’t quite jump on the bandwagon that he’s this complete player.
He doesn’t quite have the pace required, nor the hard hits, nor the footwork or artistry to be a Premiership starting 15.
He’s solid, a very nice guy...but he doesn’t ignite anything special from the back in the way other players can.

Probably doesn't have as you list because he hasn't had a run of games to get back to his best. He was phenomenal in that period between Beale and WLR when he really stepped up.

Disagree Hopwood. Rarely drops a high ball or a tackle. Regularly carries for good yards. Knows his way to the try line and links play really well. I imagine if somewhere in his past he'd secured a SH test cap he'd be naming his own price.

Well I think Minozzi offers more than Miller across the park.

He’s having a very good impact on proceedings today.

Agree, I like Minozzi but he's also dropped a few and was extremely lucky not to give away a penalty try.
