Well, I've heard some arrogance from Leeds fans but that really does push it, even for Leeds fans! Since when has Mcguire equalled England?



I no more enjoyed England's first half performance than did anyone else. I was there and watched it all unfold in the flesh. However, it was great to see the improvement in the England side during the second half. Just a pity Mcguire couldn't have improved with the rest of the team.

I dont think it was a poor performance from everyone in an England shirt, Tomkins, Sinfield, Eastmond, Ellis, Burgess, and Crabtree all played well. The fact is is that we don't have enough good players who can compete with the Aussies on a regular basis. The Shentons, Briscoes, and McGuries are just not good enough, but is thats all we got then we are just guna have to make do.

I think the reason that McGuire is being used as a 'scapegoat' is because he plays in an influential position and he did have a particularly poor game, where if he makes a mistake it is more obvious. He was just one of our players that had a poor game, but I think the fact that Eastmond came on and played SO and did fairly well puts even more pressure on McGuire and should be the reson why he should be dropped.

Poor Little Tomkins. Being picked on by those big mean Leeds players. I hope his brother gave him a big hug and a cup of cocoa when he got home.

He's a good little player, terrier like in defence, but to say that he was kept out of the game by Sinfield and McGuire is a poor excuse. He looked over-awed in that first half, like the rest of the team.

Sounds tasty, where can I get one of these inbreads?

but but but...we all know its true that the halfbacks can only operate behind a dominant pack



so its not McGuires fault but the forwards.

Funny how the majority of the ball went to the opposite side of the pitch to Tomkins in the first 20, when the ball did come his way the passes went to other players, simple as, you condescending buffoon, fact is Tomkins is 3 times the player Mcguire and you arrogant Rhino fans just can't handle it.

come back when Tommo has 12 GF rings...

then you might have some credibility.

Tommo has potential ATM nothing more

A runners up medal would be a start

McGuire had the worst game I've seen him have in years. He's not finished at that level at all, but he will be lucky to get picked next week.

Tomkins IMO was excellent, you can't blame him for the 1st half as we got murdered everywhere, second half he really took them on, get getting picked up and smashed, kept getting back up and going again. Our MOTM IMO.

this has to be one of my favourite threads of all time! My favourite player getting totally vilified for having a poor game!

Reading the vindictive posting about mags and seeing you all w*nk over it tells me all I need to know about said muppits!

Reveling in it like pigs in sh*t

most amusing

Are you copying and pasting this post on every board, you sad muppet?

Spot on.
