I'm mixed with this happy to have him but would love to have seen him go to aus and really hit another level as a player.

The move to loose has made him. He stagnated at Hooke under Powell at the start. 13 was made for him - England next.

Need to find alot to get near England atm for me he's miles away from the form he hit last year his fitness seems no where near to how he was leading our line.

Would agree bar mecca but the thread was about milner and a comment for England next think ads looks short on the fitness and drive he had last year for me. Last year up to the back of the season he was up there for man of steel. Maybe all efforts last year are having an effect this year with all the hard long minutes he played doesn't look as fresh and fast.

Maybe all the contract talks and a massive decision he had to make, does he go to oz or not as been praying on his mind. Now that’s off his shoulders hopefully we’ll see the little terrior he is in the coming weeks.

Mcshane???
I nearly put that in my original post. Id say hes been MOM in nearly every game we have played.

Hard to tell as the whole team performances this year have been poor but maybe yes Mcshane is the only one.

Does anyone think he may have discussed it with Joe Wardle as well before making his decision to sign for Cas. Good for us if did.

Looks like all his hard work as paid off.
He’s been called up into the England elite squad, well done Adam.
Also oli Holmes into the knights.
But no mcshane, what’s going on there.

But he hasn't even been selected for the Knights...........

Really difficult to justify that Kruise Leeming and Danny Walker are chosen ahead of him!!

Thought the Knights team was for emerging talent, under 24s etc, which Leeming and Walker come under.

Well someone needs to inform Paul Anderson then, as a number of those he has selected are over 24.

Oli just made it then, he’s 26 on 7th August.
So over the limit when any game is played.
Not sure how that works.
