Quote: Dico "In three years time Tomkins will be better than Fien could hope to be. Definition of average.
Perrett, Harrison, Lima et al...Definition of average, Perrett has no more ability than someone like Gareth Raynor but playing in a better comp (to be fair, the Kiwis have a few missing in the pack).
I was more comparing ability than necessarily L4L, peacock was picked in the second row so I compared him to a similar forward in the Kiwi team. Would Leeds swap Peacock for Pritchard? Again No.
Like I said originally the Kiwis are well coached, conditioned and they look like they're formed from a better comp but they certainly aren't a distance ahead like some would have you believe. If you took the best 30 players of Eng and the 30 best Kiwis, England would win hands down. Hell, Louis Anderson was in the original cut...'"
In three years time and best 30 against best 30 - we are talking now and 17 against 17 - Perrett has significantly more ability than either Hall or Fox never mind Raynor, he is a better player than Morris too.
To hold down a place in a better comp by definition suggests some ability do you think the NRL would be selecting Raynor, Hall or Fox - no I didn't think so.
Distance ahead - time will tell the best thing that could happen to England is for the Kiwis to get a big lead and relax we might then make it respectable.
