No clue what has happened to Hurrell. He was an absolute mess today, though that kind of aggression is fairly out of character from him (or at least from what I’ve seen of him). That said, I’m incredibly worried that not only is he gonna be a first choice centre next year, but we have literally zero back up for him. I have nightmares about Ben Davies playing 20 games at centre next year.
I've read over on RedVee (yes, that again) people claiming that Hurrell and Percival is as good a centre partnership as any in Superleague or some such. I thought it was a very blinkered view then and doubly so after today. Percy has been quality but is regularly injured (in fact his non appearances for England this series are very indicative of where he is these days) and Hurrell seems to have completely lost whatever it was he once had, and what he once had was very flawed to start with, albeit he could be destructive going forward.
I'm genuinely unsure, Welsby apart, where the threat is going to come from next year for Saints. Tommy Makinson, if he stays relatively injury free, but beyond that it's all likely to be bit part stuff without some further signings. Last season was poor in attack but next year has all the makings of being worse.
