O'Loughlin has his faults but we will miss him because he is another leader on the field and you can never have enough of them when you're playing against the world's best.

Hock isn't good enough, isn't fit enough and has no form.
Other than that and his attitude, appearance and level of intelligence, he's perfect.

All true, if understated to an infinite degree. |

Newsnight 13th May 2010: "With the role of Deputy Prime Minister a non-job. Has Nick Clegg gone from King Maker to tea maker????"
I kept the faith and I kept voting
Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand
For theirs is a land with a wall around it
And mine is a faith in my fellow man
Theirs is a land of hope and glory
Mine is the green field and the factory floor
Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers
And mine is the peace we knew
Between the wars:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_4486.png |

| Quote: Asgardian13 "Bit convoluted, your thinking. Try running it the other way - Jon Clarke will be a big miss for England this Autumn.'" Convoluted? No, not at all quite straight forward! You can't make your mind up if the England coach's opinions are valid or not. Or perhaps they are only valid when they suit your argument, and not when they don't. |

Wonderful attempts at misinterpreting my point. You talk as if fans have always accepted the national coach's team selections as impeccable! I do not believe that O'Loughlin is the best English No 13. I do believe that Kevin Sinfield is a far superior player. I don't think I'm the only one with this view.

No you aren't the only one with this view. There are plenty other posters who's hatred for all things Wigan, distorts what little understanding of RL they have. Anyone who thinks that O'Loughlin missing the series isn't a bad loss must be nuts. |

Your inferiority complex is showing. I have no hatred of Wigan - for instance I have no query with Sam Tomkins being selected for England and even agree that Joel is in with a shout for a spot in the forwards. I don't even 'hate' O'Loughlin - simply consider him a far more ordinary a player than do Wiganers. |

The Autumn Wind is a pirate
Blustering in from sea,
With a rollocking song, he sweeps along,
Swaggering boisterously.
His face is weather beaten.
He wears a hooded sash,
With a silver hat about his head,
And a bristling black mustache.
He growls as he storms the country,
A villain big and bold.
And the trees all shake and quiver and quake,
As he robs them of their gold.
The Autumn Wind is a raider,
Pillaging just for fun.
He'll knock you 'round and upside down,
And laugh when he's conquered and won.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47600.jpg |

Simon Grix has been out of this world for Warrington this year. 8 out of 1o each week. Massively underrated.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

You forgot to add the coaches from junior through to international level. Please excuse us if we DO find your view a little one-eyed.

Joel Tomkins could do some damage roaming about the place at 13. He runs great lines and if he gets in the clear as shown plenty of times he has the pace to do real damage.
If we want a grafter at 13- Heighington
If we want an attacking threat- J Tomkins

[quote="Bonzo":23qz4bj5]Corrected.
Incidentally, an exclamation mark ends a sentence and does not require a full stop. The first letter of the next word begins a new sentence and should therefore be capitalised. [i:23qz4bj5]Who needs flankers[/i:23qz4bj5]' grammar was actually correct.
HTH.

Joel has all the attributes of a good number 13. Strong (ask McGuire) plenty of pace and a decent tackler. It is not a bad call if it was club level. Not sure about doing it for 4 nations though (unless Tomkins has played there before in junior ranks). |
