So [iyou[/i are Stevo

Having said that I saw a certain Mr Schofield do that succesfully many times, and to the Australians as well. Especially if you pick your moment when the usually sweeping half back has just been forced to make a tackle out wide - the space is there. Even if you only manage to get a toe to it you can make as much ground as a long kick which is caught on the full and returned 20+ metres.

Sad to say I agree. Both Peacock and Morley should retire gracefully from internationals....give the captaincy to Graham.

As for the second first choice prop....? Can Scruton step up ?

Bizarre nomination given he's barely managed to string any games together for a woeful Bulls team these last few years.

Who said anything about nominating him ?

I asked the question can he step up ? Apart from the obvious candidates you've mentioned elsewhere we certainly need to start looking past Peacock and Morley.

It will be interesting to see if Luke Burgess can make a go of things down under. there is clear potential there, which he has never quite realised. A good, powerful ball carrier. If he continues to sharpen up in defence and reduce his errors, he could be a very good prop forward. He'll certainly have to do that if he wants to hold onto a place in the Souths first team when they're at full strength. If he can do that, he'll certainly be in contention.

Here's hoping

With a full NRL season (if he can do that) he'll certainly be a good option

Appreciation for Sinny here..

FWIW, I would probably go for Tomkins as Player of the Year and Warrington as Team of the Year, but it's a refreshing change to see some recognition of Sinny's excellent season.

Probably not worth a thread for itself. A few years ago as Francis Cummins was nearing the end of his Leeds career I posted an article from when he was just breaking through which went down well on here. Stumbled across this the other day while looking through my Open Rugby collection. May 1997... i42.tinypic.com/6ds9si.jpg

I noticed the number 17 at OT this year. He was sat behind Brian and Jimmy when they were hugging to celebrate our victory. He's normally much harder to spot.

What are you defining as 'top level of the game' in this instance?

The river really has gone dry for you hasn't it? Utter desperation
