Announced on SL website.

JP to retire from the international game with immediate effect.
Well done Jamie, always put a shift in for his country, top effort

Top player and top effort. Massive respect for players who know when to call it a day.

Been a top player, think it might be for the best now. Shame age seems to have got the best of him the year before a WC.

hint hint

Peacock knew when to go. posters on RL fans knew it was time to go.

McBanana did not.

Unfortunately it is a year too late as it does not give enough time to blood new props. Some of us said this a year ago but were shouted down.

Well done to Jamie though. Has been a great player and always gave his all in an international shirt.

His best days are well behind him and it gives younger props a chance, so in many ways I'm thankful. However, Garry Schofield's inevitable smugness makes me wish he kept going!

Thank God the toothless goon has called it a day. Now let's get someone in who can talk in front of the box rather than slaver and mumble.

Banana would be playing him til he was 50 if he could.

Didnt he retire a few years ago? Cant say ive noticed him in an England shirt the past couple of years

Looks like Schoefields recent opinion piece made JP take a good look at himself. I know he isn't liked by many but Schoefield said what most people had been thinking for a while now.

Lets just hope that he has a house without mirrors

No doubt Mcbanana is now scratching his head thinking 'what do I do now'.
It seems JP has had to do the job of the England coach himself as Mcbanana is too stupid to make the call himself.
There is now a shortage of experienced international props at the highert level.
So well done Steve what a great job you are doing.

I am now curious who is going to step up from the knights squad.

Very interesting this assumption that ‘Peacock is doing McNamara’s job for him’ and ‘why didn’t McNamara make this decision’

Well, I tell you this. If I decided that one of the people who had worked for me and done a great job for the past 11 years wasn’t cutting it any more, I would be humiliating him publically, I would take him to one side and say that we need to rethink the structure and he should perhaps think about lightening his load etc

We don’t know what went on in the background but a good outcome is that Peacock retires with dignity from the international game rather than being dropped. If McNamara had nothing to do with it, fair enough, but a good leader gets the outcome he wants regardless of how its announced

Good stuff, been a good servant but time for new blood in the pack in time for next years world cup.
