what sl stars? name names.

What aload of tripe, can you actually use some examples of how the quality of play has dropped? or have you just pulled it out of your ass?

I can't remember the last time we have had such competition from the top 5/6 teams all with home grown players making up most of the squads.

The England selection pool is much better than 5 years ago.

There's no doubt that centre is our weakest position, I'm quite nervous about them defending against NZ and particularly Oz.

Anyone defending against Aussie will struggle - it's what they do

However with Cudjoe and Watkins I think we have our best chance, certainly Cudjoe's defence is outstandingly good on the flanks

I'd still like to hear who these supposed overseas stars are you are referring to?

I wouldn't play Shenton, but the point about left sided centres is valid, Only Ablett (part time centre) and Atkins are naturally left sided out of pretty much all of the names mentioned.

Ratchford is a good shout and Widdop has played left centre too, but a long time ago.

Cudjoe is happy down either flank FWIW

I would imagine he is thinking along the lines of, matty johns,brett dallas,darren albert,jamie lyon,trent barrett,steve renouf,alan langer,david furner,chris mckenna,stephen kearney,shaun berrigan,ali lauiatiti,stacy jones,brad mackay,logan swann.thats just quickly off the top of my head you could go on and on with the big names coming over through the first ten years of SL.the quality has seriously dried up the past few years.

Watkins if fit, Ablett and goulding for me...

Goulding maybe, at least he is a centre though well below Watkins and Cudjoe

Ablett isn't even a good second row and he's a worse centre

I dont like Leeds either but come on mate. I know one game doesnt prove the statement right or wrong but he was awesome against Saints in the playoff game and shows what he is capable of. Although I agree i wouldnt have him anywhere near centre in a SL game never mind International.

cudjoe has had 1 good game in an important match and that was against leeds then went missing in the next, he is so overrated its becoming a joke. Goulding isn't the best in the world but he's better than cudjoe hands down and i don't particularly rate Goulding highly at least he's consistent in performances and knows charnley.
