...against the Aussies, surely ? He's the Melbourne regular there: a good enough endorsement for most I would suggest.

Sinfield is a great club captain and deserves the accolades at SL level....but he aint an international class stand off, not when talking about the truly international world class teams in any serious competition (Aus and NZ)..

His kicking aint even exceptional these days

Hasn't sinfield been playing scrum half and Chase playing stand off?

Either way...Widdop SO and Chase SH.

...and doesn't Chase kick for Cas ? Westwood too has been a recent place kicker (not the best admittedly)

Can't we call up Hardaker to play at SO for this one?

....still think Sinfield aint good enough against the Aussies. Chase has that potential unpredictable brilliance factor. You can't really say that about Sinfield.

Nah again...neither of them has enough antipodean blood running through their veins commensurate to what we appear to need to represent England these days.

I think if either half gets dropped then it should be Chase based on the performances so far. He seems to be running round like a headless chicken with no idea what he wants to do when he gets it.

I dont understand why sinfield gets slated so much. he is doing very well considering he is being put in positions that are foreign to him. For starters he is getting played at scrum half which i dont think Ive ever seen him play for Leeds. The second issue is he was always dealing with the play the ball. This is not part of his game and he needs instead to be the first or second reciever to allow him to distribute the ball. Why wasnt Roby at the PTB?

Chase on the bench would be a better option would it not?
ad some zip from the bench that I think is missed from burrow/robinson.

real shame about burrow, I thought he could be the difference

Pobably difficult when you playing out of position, he won MOS as a stand off!!!

Lets get everyone back to their natural positions, if we gonna play Sinfield play him at loose forward, if we gonna play Chase play him at stand off the position he won man of steel in.

Why don't we have a natural scrum half in the team such as Myler, Lomax or even Brough?

IMO Brough at 7 Chase at 6 would be a better option than Chase at 7 and Sinfield at 6, Heighington hasnt exactly set the world on fire so would have Sinfield back at 13 had we had options at 7, would have then had Sinfield, Roby and Brough for open play kicking and Sinfield and Brough for goal kicking.

Quite a simple game really if everyone plays in their best positions and if we gonna be beating the Aussies we will need some flair cos IMO won't do it up the middle.
