Not having a real threat on both edges is going to make Englands attack easy pickings for aus (if they get there). And I don't see the defence argument at all as he's not excelled in that area, his positioning defending his own line isn't cracking either in the centre position.

I agree to an extent, however defensively we are solid on that edge. I think that's why he's there, for his strong carries and strong defence.
It's a poor do, for Hall who doesn't get a chance
Most of our attack comes down the right and I assume it's just instructed that way.

In a one on one collision I think he is better than percival, but his defensive decision making at centre will cost us against quality attack, as Slater showed in the first match
