| Quote: AXE2GRIND "Whomever decided to play a series in NZ at this particular time in this particular year needs their heads examined. If the other lot defeat England at the weekend, then the triple header could be the most embarrassing event in the international games recent history. I am off to the tron to watch the tonga game and even that is only expected to get a 12k gate. The NZ SKY adverts feel the need to constantly refer to the team as the GB RUGBY LEAGUE LIONS......the ads seem more like infomercials and the tickets are now available at just $10 a pop....that's a fiver.
GB should walk over this Tongan select side, who are no longer a surprise package and who are pretty predictable.'"
I have tickets to the triple header and am buzzing for it.
Being able to get down Kingsland in the spring sunshine at lunchtime for pints, lunch and more pints is a pleasant change from going out to Mt Smart peak winter where there isnt a pub for miles.

| Is Charnley injured? I'd have taken him over Hall given his shape/lack of game time. Joe Burgess has been off form for a long time, Marshall and Grace too error prone

| Hall fits the Bennett way, solid metre maker, decent defence and low error count

| Quote: NickyKiss "He’s a good 5th choice and whilst I agree he’s too heavy, he’s in a different league (and not just literally) to some of the average players you call out there, even in that shape. The guy was making ground with ease coming off his line in the NRL and on the back of a bad knee injury. He’s as safe as houses, will get us rolling forward and will be as tough as ever to stop near the opposition line. I don’t miss the days of Gardner and Calderwood being first choice that’s for sure!'"
This basically in a nut shell. In the international game bringing the ball back and getting the team on the front foot is invaluable in tight arm wrestles.

Not the best defendant cover on the wing sure
However the steals and length of the field tries under his belt mean he was and is a weapon for any team

| Quote: NickyKiss "Burgess has been dire for us, Marshall isn’t good enough and Davies is injured (and not good enough) I don’t think Charnley or Grace are good enough either. We’ve picked the best two wingers available to us. They’ve both been fantastic players for England over a long period of time.'"
I usually agree with most things you say but you’re well off with your opinion of Charnley. He’s more than good enough. His try record is phenomenal and he’s been very good for us in his first season. He’d have scored 30 tries had he been next to a half decent centre. Fantastic winger.

both charnley and lineham have been excellent, tom's probably first name on the team sheet for me.

Yep. Both in better 'form' than Hall.

| Hall is a great winger still, and does the basics well. He’s great in the air, superb carrying the ball away from his line and is a great finisher.
While he might not be express pace or a match winner, but if we don’t win the series, it won’t be because of Hall.

| I always found Charnley didn't look so effective at international level.

He’s Bang average at club level too. Been completely outplayed by every half decent winger in SL

Candidate for the most ridiculous post of the year. I wouldn't claim that Charnley is the best winger in SL but very few opposition wingers have 'outplayed' him.
