He we also scarily un-accurate with his distrubution and was in-affective going forward, against a slow French pack. I have sympathy for Moore, as he was trying things from acting half, if he was a bit more confident (and concious) he would have made a bigger impact than Roby. Also need a kicking option, to pin the Aussie's back.

I'd resign! Seriously! We've got NO chance! I'd even pick a load of old crocks that got the closest to winning the proper WC instead! Might've been nearly 20 years ago but they'd do better than this shower of yorksh*te puddings playing now!

I'd go with only 1 hooker with burrow, eastmond or even sinfield taking over from robes when rested.

I know smith says he's building for the world cup with likes of shenton, brisco and so on playing but IMO we should be looking to pick a team that's good enough to win this comp and IMO that means picking senior, gleeson and pryce no matter how old they are.

The is still few years yet for us to build for the world cup.

I think Scott Moore lost his confidence while at Hudds. He needs more time at club level before playing internationals. Unless Smith does some wonderful man-management, I can't see Moore's confidence rising in time to play the Aussies. I don't think we'll see him on Saturday.

As for Roby, some aspects of his game were fine but his timing was a bit out and he needs to practice his kicking game. I don't remember when he last played a full 80 minutes so he's probably got some adjusting to do, and fast.

I don't see why that game against Wales was played given that most of the team changed for France. It was a pointless exercise. Unless we delay the start of these internationals, or shorten the season to give more time between the season's end and the start of the internationals, there is not going to be enough time for an international team to gel before we are into the tournament. The Saints and Leeds guys only had three training sessions with the rest of the team before having to play France. That is ludicrous and needs addressing if the RFL hopes to encourage fans to take our international game more seriously.

I was disappointed with Smiths treatment of a young player like Moore on Friday.

The game was won with ten minutes to go. I would have given Moore a pat on the back, and said "go on Scott show us you are better than that first half performance, we KNOW you can do it"

he had a head injury I believe, sustained during his first (admittedly awful) spell.

i'm surprised people want pryce near the side after the season he had, never worth a spot, that said fullback is an issue for us.
I'd play a young side with experience in the forwards, atkins might be worth a shot as i dont see how including lee smith is helping us progress, isnt Clubb from quins a centre? whoever plays against Inglis has a tough job

MWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH !!!!!!!!

thats ridiculous!
you have a prop (frankenstein) at 7 and a scrum half (salem) in the 2nd row, also casper would drop more ball than Meli!

atkins is injured and unavailable

Good.
