I think his passing is something that he needs to look at. He seems to have developed his game where he likes to be abit of a ball player and thats fair enough because it does cause opposition sides alot of problems at times but he needs to be abit more selective about it.

There must have been 4 or 5 occasions throughout the tournament where his passes went to ground or were intercepted.

As for him being burnt out i agree that he needs a rest. It would probably be in Saints best interests to let the lad have a real extended break now and bring him back in maybe just for a couple of weeks before the season. He seems the sort of lad who'll look after himself anyway.

When you say weasle you mean genuinly one of the nicest well mannered blokes you could meet! Becuse that's what he's like!

I haven't dished out any stick but the feeling from some( and they have a point) is that to say our forward had the aussies on the rack at times the halves created very little! the pack gave them the platform and they did very little with it.

G1 made the point if mcguire had played like tomkins did there would be a 23 page thread on how crap he is?

they are young lads they will learn or get used as the scapegoat and dropped after the honeymoon period has passed.

Apologies for being a bit pedantic, but I don't remember the Aussies scoring from it. Thurston got away & passed to Inglis, but i'm sure they didn't score from that set.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
Graham was excellent, but i agree with whats bein said, he's heading for burn out.

They scored from the last play of the set with Morris going in at the corner.

Danny McGuire is 6 years older than Sam Tomkins, yet i'd rather have Tomkins in there at International level, because McGuire offers absolutely nothing.

Tomkins had a quiet game which is abit different to McGuires dreadful game against the Aussies which included numerous missed tackle, a couple of handling errors and a couple of passes that went to the Aussie defensive line instead of our attacking line.

Whenever Tomkins has had quiet games for Wigan or England he's still been reasonably solid. I've yet to see him have a nightmare like McGuire had against the Australians.

Oh what a suprise

I don't think it was in reference to tomkins having a poor with ball in hand, as you say he was quiet. He was inefective attacking the line. I think it was in reference to mguire been a hate figure like sinfield long before the aussie game.

Are you seriously still defending McGuire as an international halfback after his "performance" at Wigan? //www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRlrFudaEs8 //www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymdSjCYK ... re=related [size=200:2um3f4m4][color=red:2um3f4m4]GOODBYE BOB, GOONSWARM OWNS YOU[/size:2um3f4m4][/color:2um3f4m4]:
