I am with Biff on this one. He got unjustified criticism last year and his work was unappreciated by many who just waded in. He is an old fashioned solid prop who does a lot of the hard graft with few errors and would be one of my starting props.

Are you now glad he did bring back McGuire & JJB?

Do you still believe that?

Maybe he doesn't, but I wouldn't be surprised if the older guys upped their efforts after the younger players did well the previous week. We haven't played particularly well since Warrington - about 5 games before Sts. It certainly doesn't harm anyone to know that nobody is indispensable.

Maybe but you cannot say JJB ever plays without effort. To call McGuire and JJB "has beens" was just an insult that does not reflect what they bring to the side. Of course selection should be based on form and recent performances but experience and mental strength are factors too as is protecting youngsters that should not be overplayed, until they mature, in a what is a very physical sport.
