| Morley should be nowhere near the squad. Thank you for all his great work and let a younger forward come in.
WTF is Mcguire in there for. Never done anything as an international and never will

| I seriously wouldn't be playing Morley and Peacock. We really need to look towards the future.
I'd love to see an England team which looks like this for the end of year internationals:-
1. Sam Tomkins
2. Josh Charnley
3. Jack Reed
4. Kallum Watkins
5. Ryan Hall
6. Gareth Widdop
7. Danny Brough
8. James Graham
9. James Roby
10. Sam Burgess
11. Gareth Ellis
12. Ben Westwood
13. Sean O'Loughlin
14. Lee Mossop
15. Eorl Crabtree
16. Gareth Hock
17. Kevin Sinfield
the props are in their prime and at the top of their games in the NRL.
Peacock and Morley will be claiming their pension either this year or the next so its time to look to the future.

Rule 2. If in any case I appear wrong, refer to rule 1.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42170.jpg |

He'll do more for England and show more passion for England than Chase and Heightenton(?) did.

You mean the same Rangi Chase who showed more passion and effort than half the team?
Forced into a rigid system that doesn't suit expansive players....and played out of position and didn't do bad when you stop being blind and just pointing out the mistakes he made.

Take you cas tinted glasses off mate. Chase did bog all last four nations. He is a quality player in SL, but I expected him to do more than stand around like a headless chicken. Gareth Widdop did more and he played from the bench! Chase and that auzzie loose forward couldn't be d to sing the national anthem. English my ! No passion whatsoever. Brough and Sinfield to be the halves.

Because he wasn't brilliant that meant he didn't show effort? Wow
Oh and Chase was one of the few players who sang the anthem at every single game.
Go on then...Wakey tinted specs or BNP voter?

Effort? Don't talk bull. And he never sung a word . And like I said I think Chase is quality and that he deserved his MOS - no wakey tinted specs there mate. As for BNP, I don't believe I have said anything racist, only that he is NZ and not english.

| Quote: jarvis12345 "Thats why he should play! A direct 13 doesnt work, this has been proven time after time. Sinfield has never been allowed to play his traditional Leeds game when playing for GB/England. I agree Sinfield is too small to play as a 'natural' 13 if you want that kind of player go with O'loughlian. For me he has to play 13 or not at all. I would also make him captain but thats a different issue'"
When was the last time Sinfield played his natural game for Leeds? He's been playing stand-off for the last 18 months, which is his best position. But we saw in the last Four Nations that he isn't good enough at stand off at international level. Sam Burgess is our best option at 13 IMO
My problem with squad as a whole is that it's too old, something which many have already said on this thread. There are too many in there that will be very lucky to still be in the international picture by the time the World Cup comes around in 2013, so why pick them to play against teams that the England Knights could give a good hiding to?

982.jpg [quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj]

The two were in direct opposition last Friday. One looked like a clueless headless chicken and McGuire looked class.
Lets not pretend Chase looked comfortable against the Aussies and Kiwis, He looked out of his depth.
