Although this is my personal opinion I think it's clear to see that we still do not have quite enough quality to compete with the Aussies. If I went through their squad I'm sure I wouldn't give any less than a 3 and there would be a lot more 4s and 5s. I do think slowly but surely we are heading in the right direction though.

He actually has more of a point now, Roby would make a world class 13 and does play there often during a game anyhow.

The game is changing, Micky Mac has certainly changed his game to suit this year, but Roby is still excelling in the old role...

to be honest roby's passing off the floor could do with some work i have seen more than one ball go to ground but no player is perfect and he is a class player.

i see what you did there!!! you gave all the good players a lower mark and all the not so good ones a higher mark kind of like reverse psychology very clever!!

IMO Roby's limitations have been exposed at test level. There's no doubt he works his backside off for 80 minutes week in week out however, I think he lacks the guile to unlock a defense that the likes of Cam Smith (the most obviouse example) posses. His passing is quick but not all that accurate, and tends to be at or behind the receiver instead of infront. Having said that he's still England's best hooker (by some margin at this point). I'd rate him 4/5.
