Victor Radley has pulled out of England contention ahead of this autumn's Ashes series, so how much of a blow is that to Shaun Wane's plans and who does it open the door to?
Transcript
00:00this week we've seen well last week we've seen victor radley pull out of the england squad
00:10sam cook how much of a blow is that to sean wayne and and who does it open the door to
00:17for to come in for that that loose forward spot i think it's a big blow in the sense that um
00:23just as a as a squad because i'm not actually sure if radley would have got the noise because
00:29i think morgan knows has been and pete mentioned lachlan lamb and man of steel morgan knows he's
00:35not he's never going to get points in this system i don't think he's been far off one of the best
00:38players in super league i think he's been exceptional he was all over the place again on saturday night
00:44um so i think he'll be he's definitely the starter now in my eyes and i think he may well have been
00:51if radley had been there anyway um but that's not to say that radley won't be missed i think
00:57the the importance of being battle hardened in the nrl when you especially when you're playing
01:04the aussies i think is a big thing i think that might shape what some of the pack looks like in
01:09terms of morgan smithy's mighty nicholson uh car baseball i mean john bateman's had quite a good
01:14season i know he's if you're looking for the future generation he's maybe not where you go but
01:19sean wayne trusts him so i think that a lot of that pack will come from the nrl i think radley
01:24certainly would have been there so he's a big loss in that sense but i think it's a decision that
01:28makes sense i think he misses his 32 weeks pregnant uh obviously you factor in a six-week tour
01:34oh if he was to set off now you're looking at she's coming up to judy and we've seen obviously
01:40with matty lees this weekend that some things are more important than rugby league so um i think it's
01:45the right decision for him and potentially for england but um i do think it'd be a big miss but
01:50morgan knolls and then also smithies are probably your candidates to to factor in there
01:56elio mincello might be a shout but i think he might get edged out just because
01:59this season form has maybe just dipped off a little bit
