Quote: Dunbar "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'"

This is international rugby league we are talking about.
JP hasn't been cutting it for a while at that level 'dignity' has bugger all to do with it.
If your'e not cutting it at international level sport you get dropped.
Or at least you should if the coach has the stones and sees the bigger picture (world cup next year) to do it.
Mcbanana would rather play the same old faces as he clearly cannot look outside the box.

Well done on a great international career Jamie!

It'll be interesting to see who replaces him. Apart from Mossop and Hill who are the young props coming through?

Amor has done well at Wakey and Luke Burgess in the NRL, but what about others?

Only rugby league fans could take an announcement like this, and rather than commend the player on his career use it to have a moan.

Peacock has been a great performer at international level, he's been one of a very small number of British forwards in recent years would have been able to match the Aussies physically. (Morley and Farrell are the only other two who spring to mind, let's see how Graham, Ellis, Hock etc get on in the world cup).

Personally I think he's slightly late in calling time on his career but the blame for that lies with the people selecting him.
