I would say no, I even have said before the squad was picked that Briscoe wasnt quite ready, even though he didnt do anything wrong I stad by ths, unfortunatley there was no other options on the wing.

I personally didnt think Yeaman had a bad season for Hull, he showed at times he was back to previous form and this is with no decent ball off the halfbacks. He is also very good defensivley andif he wasnt injured would have done a decent job at centre.

I acually rate Lee Smith, but he should have played at FB or on the wing.

Jason Crookes will mke an impact next season and will b selected in next years four nations squad

You mean they'd have stayed out wide to let the opposition break up the middle?

You probably thought the same about Scott Moore aswell.

Well there was already one mediocre hooker out there, so yes, Moore would have fitted right in.

Of course they didn't break through the middle. That's where our defence was, rather than out wide.
Just trying to establish what you think the "right position" is.

Are you trying to argue that Smith was in the right position in defence throughout the first half?

Would have been fun to hear many of the Leeds fans had Pryce put in a performance akin to Smith or McGuire last week. Have a funny feeling he wouldn't be getting the same level of patriotic backing . . .

You know, I think he is...maybe he thinks Smith is a second row or hooker?

So he should have said "f*ck where the rest of the team inside me are standing, I'm going to stay right out here where Greg Inglis is. If that leaves a gap you could slide a bus through sideways on my inside shoulder, that's not my problem"?

Anyone who fails to grasp where the deficiencies in England's defensive strategy were for the first forty minutes on Saturday has no place trying to discuss the finer points of the game.

No he should actually have been in his OWN position, the rest of the team's defence made the aussies go wide, when the did they found an enourmous gap where Smith should have been

Something he was guilty of it the World Cup too...

Lee Smith was out of position because if you watch the game he goes flying out the line trying get an interception and misses by about 10 metres every time, leaving Briscoe on his own against the best centre in the world, the NRL's top try scorer on the wing and probably a second rower too.

For the whole of the half? 4.37646484375:5
