You can only play whats infront of you. He played miles better than Myler. His defence was great and he was so allert and read the game so well. Two of his tries were pure class and not many other players could of scored them!

He is the best we have!

I wonder if the Aussies and Kiwis have jumped back on the plane tonight after seeing the mighty England trounce an amazing Welsh side??

Bet they're both bricking it now

MASSIVE improvement needed if we're going to do anything!

mcguire has to play and will I'm my opinion! If he doesn't it means the whole back line are pretty much rookies!

"You can't win anything with kids"

Briscoe
Hall
Shenton
Eastmond
Smith
Tomkins
McGuire

Then the usual suspects in the pack, Peacock Moz Jammer etc

My thoughts too. I was actually quite encouraged by the Welsh performance and I think they do have some players capable of carrying off the moves (with more practice, confidence and opportunity) but one in particular was prone to dropping the ball. With Wales they were always going to be the development team but they were improved on last year and Harris et al have clearly got a response from them already. With good coaching and consistent ongoing investment, Wales could have a reasonable team in a few years' time if the raw potential of tonight is anything to go by.

You do know what happened last year don't you?
I didn't take too much notice but my 2 boys were watching and ended up watching union because "it's more exciting dad"
Reckon our game is fooked

McGuire at scrum half with Tomkins? With a combination like that we could see the first game of rugby league without a pass from the half-backs!

Which english stand off had the most try assists in sl?

danny mcguire

(sl web site does not take play offs into account)

He only passes after he breaks the line, as does Tomkins. So who is going to direct the team around? They play stand off at their respective clubs for a good reason.

Mcguire has always played awesome at scrum half! I think he's just as good in either role!

TS is alway bangin on about picking the form players? Then he has to go with sinfield! rhinos player of the year, as good as if not the best player in the play off's! harry Sunderland winner?

total cobblers!

We shall see.

Calm down!

A player can look like they play great in their club team but mix them with players from other teams under a different coach and they may not look so good. So we'll have to wait and see how either or both of your players look. They didn't look so hot last year down under, that's for sure.

Sinfield has tp play at LF. O'Loughlin IMHO is not the half the player Sinfield is. I know he hasnt done it on the international scene in the past but he has never been really given the LF role. He always had better players in front of him ie. Scully.
McGuire should be on the bench with Tomkins and Eastmond at halves. Eastmond IMO is a SH and not a centre. Although he made a damn good job of it last weekend.
We'll see but I fear another spanking by the Aussies and Kiwis.

What about Tomkins pass for the LMS try and his pass in the lead up to Briscoes try.

Or do they not count.

Oh and his two kicks that also brought tries last night.
