Nonsense, Myler's "steadier" game won't trouble the Aussies at all. Brough at least has the potential to cause disruption with his kicking game, even if he can be inconsistent (which he hasn't been this year).

I agree with this - but before endorsing Brough's selection I'd want to see how he's playing after 27 games rather than just the handful he's played so far.

I've read what you say Vastman

And you're talking out your backside
Simple as that

For me Brough would be in my starting 13. I think as Brough has matured he's become a much more consistent player than he once was. He doesn't lose his head as much as he sometimes used to and the label he had of going missing in games has become a thing of the past, although all players can have poor games. He's got a great attacking game with both ball in hand running or finding a pass. He's also got a good kicking game and for his size his defense is decent. He the best we've got imo & he's exactly the kind of player that could cause Aus & NZ a few headaches, especially if our pack can play to it's potential.

People seem to forget that although the team Brough was playing in fell away last year he, as an individual didnt - he was the only one putting in a shift every week and was ultimately given the captaincy on the back of these performances and was ALWAYS the 1st player offering some encouragement.

Lets not judge individual players on what their clubs do as a collective effort.

Well, Myler got man of the match last night, and ratch was pretty good as well last night
