Nail on head.

Spot on - can you let HKR fans know? Some of them seem to think it was all Tom Briscoe's fault.

Do you a deal Chris, I'll do that if you can let the Saints fans know it wasn't all down to Sinfield, Smith and McGuire.

But it was... Not just Saints fans think that mate. Briscoe was in no way at fault.

Never mind if he's deserved his place on merit or not throughout the season, he should not have been picked. If Tony Smith is building for the 2013 World Cup then why pick a player who's played his last game of club rugby league?

Isn't Tony Smith's job to win the 2009 Four Nations by picking what he considers his best available team?

Absolutely correct. Although it's up to those players left exposed (and the full back, who can see better than anyone) to tell any players who've been sucked in to get back in position and be aware of Slater slotting into their back line and creating the overlap.

Inglis has two main weapons. His outstanding sidestep - normally off his right foot, but either way is blindingly fast. He'll run at his opposite centre, pull him wide, and then slice inside. He's so big and fast that if he creates a few inches he's through, but it seemed to me that Eastmond's reactions were fast enough to cope and his size meant he went low and avoided Inglis's upper body strength. And then of course Inglis has that pace - give him any space and those long legs take him away from you, and in full flight he's almost impossible to stop. And of course he's a freakishly outstanding athlete.

The difference in the second half was that England spread their defensive line a little more, and the Australians weren't willing to be as adventurous as they were dealing with worse field position and trying to run a lot of escape sets. Hence the big shifts of the ball from right to left weren't being used as often.

Id play him at fullback against the Kiwis.

Smith
Briscoe
Ellis
Shenton
Hall.

I dont like Shaun Briscoe at full back.

Leeds played with two British centres all season.

One has retired (but is still probably the best) and the other was Lee Smith.

If other clubs didn't play antipodeans in their threequarters then Lee Smith might not have been selected.

I wouldn't argue with that.

He did nothing wrong on Saturday and was fairly solid.

Will they play with two British centres next season?

just for a bit of fun.

Pick 3 teams from your club
