I thought that it was Sinfield that put the final terrible kick in.

His international legacy will be defined by the missed tackle. In his previous 39 international appearances I can't remember any piece of world class excellence from him.


Tomkins and Widdop at half back, Hardaker at full back, Graham for captain.

Yes, he takes all the kick-offs and drop outs and is heavily involved in the tactical kicking. He is now coming in a second receiver for many plays. I think now is the time to move him up at test level and have the more defensively assured and direct running Hardaker at full-back.

It would be Tomkins/Widdop for me with Hardaker at 1.

I agree.its not like Tomkins hasn't played half before and to have somebody like Hardaker kicking his heels in reserve seems a waste, and defensive side of his game is superior to sam's.

Hardaker shouldn't be selected because of his homophobic slur against warrington. Rugby league cannot be seen to condone homophobia.
Tomkins shouldn't be selected because he was caught on LIVE TV doing the 2 finger salute. Rugby league is a family game.
G.Burgess shouldn't be selected because he admitted damaging property in cairns. Rugby league cannot be seen to condone vandals.
James Graham shouldn't be selected as he was banned for biting billy slaters ear. Rugby league cannot be seen to condone canabalism.

If the above are selected it will cost rugby league millions in lucrative sponsorship deals.

Okay, don't forget Chris Heighington for impersonating an international quality forward

Sure it will, cos we have sponsors falling all over themselves don't we??

Suppose you can include Jarrod Haynes, Greg Bird and any the other Antipods who have past form in your statement about lost sponsorship?

Don't be so foolish.
