In attack 1 and 6 are pretty much identical (defense different obvs)...... however Tomkins needs to work on his high ball catchs before he can be a competant international FB, maybe Widdop is the safer option at FB? Tomkins can be hidden on the wing (against the smallest winger for example Darius Boyd)?

I think Widdop and Hardaker have a good chance of playing against the Aussies, like you said Widdop is the best 6 (Sinny 7), Hardaker could be used in any of the 3/4 positions if we have injuries, which is highly likely......

Darius Boyd and various other Antipodean 3/4's are big powerful men. Sam Tomkins cant mark them, we need our own powerful wingers like Ryan Hall to mark them. Its no use putting Tomkins straight against them or any other big guy that they send his way, he'll be run over. That's why IMO, it would be better of keeping him at the back, and letting Widdop, who is used to defending against the big edge guys down under stay there.

FWIW, I just dont think McNamara will play Widdop, he will go with Sinfield at 6, but if I had my way it would be Widdop at 6 and Tomkins at 1.

I was never a fan of Sinfield, but I've changed my mind over recent times, he'll make a good 7........ bit old now though at 32...... I'd start Roby and have Burrow coming off the bench, Chris Hill has got to be in with a shout of the WC squad as well if he keeps his form next year. Looks a good team that though, competative to say the least. We now have depth to our squad which is a good thing!!!! Competetion for places!!!

Yeah Id have Hill in there, Ben Westood and Harrison too.

Sinfields a great player, just not an international.

how does anyone not have roby as the number 9? and mossop in front of hill, carvell, morley? and no westwood? apart from that not a bad side i'd maybe have sinfield for his leadership and goal kicking ability, and in a tight game situation he seem's to be the best we've got.
