Nonsense.

Quote: Tez the Saint "When people talk about how the game has moved on over the past 20 years or so, this topic always seems to creep up.

When I was growing up, our Stand-Off was Tommy Martyn. He was your typical off the cuff Number 6 who played as a second receiver and could make things happen out wide.

Alongside him was Sean Long. Probably my favorite player growing up. Same position, and he was your typical Scrum-Half. Great kicking game, and although he had a running game, he directed the side superbly well.

That's what I would call a typical half back pairing. An organiser and a ball player. First and second receiver. As the years have gone on, the Stand-Off role has changed dramatically for me. Teams tend to play split halves these days. Imagine telling someone like Alex Murphy where they could and couldn't stand. Loose Forwards playing in the 6 shirts - that wouldn't have been the case 20 years ago. Wouldn't have been the case 10 years ago.

My question is

In your theory would Sinfield (the organiser) and Chase (the ball player) be an ideal choice for England?

We finally have a good settled halfback pairing at Leigh in Martin Ridyard, who is an excellent organiser, kicker & ball player and Ryan Brierley who is an excellent second receiver who is rapid quick with a good rugby brain and set of hands, it makes a huge difference to the dynamics of the team when the halfbacks compliment each other.

[quote="Tarquin Fuego":3e09qe5x] I love Jamie and have done since he was 10 years old. [/quote:3e09qe5x] [quote="The Reason":3e09qe5x]Hi Andy The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.     Regards,   Matthew[/quote:3e09qe5x]:23521.jpg



Quote: Alex Mc "There isn't a 6 and 7 anymore I don't think. You have a left edge and a right edge half back with your full back acting as another pivot. It always makes me laugh when people say "we need a 7" or "we don't want 'an other', he's definitely not a 7". All half backs do the same job these days.'"


And that's the problem.

Quote: fatbaztod100 "In your theory would Sinfield (the organiser) and Chase (the ball player) be an ideal choice for England?'"


Yes, they work well together, though Sinfield should be wearing the No.7 jersey. I want to get rid of squad numbers. Sinfield should be wearing No.7 for Leeds.

Widdop coming off the bench for England.

It's about getting the balance of the team right, look at the Canterbury Bulldogs last year. But IMO the No.9 is the most important position on the park, passing out of acting-half is crucial. K.Cunningham was not v.good at that, I would have played him at loose-forward not No.9. He couldn't spin pass to his right.
