| Quote A unknown superstar="A unknown superstar"Obviously I'm biased but Briscoe has proven that he can do alot more than just scored tries and some brilliant ones at that. Charnley although he's a very good winger and one of the best English wingers around is fortunate to be playing for easily the best team in the comp were alot of his tries are handed to him. Which he mentioned himself on the Super League show the other night. Can't recall seeing him break a tackle and go the full length of the pitch or anything of note.
Like I said I'm obviously going to be bias but for me Hall and Briscoe are the two best wingers for England at the minute, followed by Charnley.'"
90% agree with you, but I think when fully fit Jermaine McGilvary is right up there with the top two. His kicking on the wing is immense! Charnley would be fourth choice for me.

| Quote Mr. Zucchini Head="Mr. Zucchini Head"Obviously I don't see as much of Hall as you do and I'm not saying I don't like Hall because I would be more than happy if Hull signed him. When I say he doesn't have much about him I mean relative to other international wingers.
Anyway, in defence is he that much better? Are you basing it on their one on one tackling? Positional sense? Ability to defuse kicks? I don't think there is alot to split them tbh. Magic jinking runs? Well I've never seen one but I'll take your word for it. He does score long range tries because as I have said he is a good athelete but how often does he have to beat defenders to score these and how often is it good work by his team mates to give him a clear run? He is more likely to blast players out the way than Briscoe because he has a bigger frame but Briscoe has a better fend.'"
Best attacking winger this year has been Broughton. He would score more on the wing for Wigan than Charnley IMO.

| France should never be put together with Great Britain. First of all it makes no sense whatsoever and secondly, where do you stop? Italy, Serbia, Lebanon?
The Four Nations should be Australia, New Zealand, France and Great Britain in the northern hemisphere. If you're going to have the tournament in the southern hemisphere (which I wouldn't) then include the top ranked SH side after the Kangaroos and Kiwis. At present that would be Papua New Guinea, leaving Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and the Cook Islands to play in the Pacific Cup.
World Cups should see the home nations rather than GB participate. If players know they can play for GB in the Four Nations without ruling themselves out of representing their nation in the big one, I believe we are far less likely to see the embarrassing flip-flopping between countries we currently have.
A GB tour every four years, along the lines of some earlier posts, would prove popular and would again dissuade players from putting their hands up for a nation for all the wrong reasons.

Just the two? Surely with you been a Wigan fan, you'd be able to name more than two. If he's managed more than two of course.

Briscoe
Hall
Charnley
Broughton
McGilvary
Are the best of British, Riley scores alot, but who wouldn't on the wing for Wire. He's fast and can finish chances off but that's it. He's not amongst the best of British.

| Also, I reckon there should be a mid season test series...... with France.
If you promoted properly, like a solid one year advance, and convince its a great way to watch test match rugby and spend a weekend in france during the summer on Bastille day, I think the britsih supporters would come... And fill it out.
France V GB (Mille on Bastille Day)
GB V France (Anfield Liverpool) something different

I'm sure Cudjoe's defence isn't much better than Atkins'. Atkins makes a lot more errors but offers a lot more in attack. Goulding should be above Cudjoe in the pecking order IMO but fans of other teams don't seem to want to accept that. He's solid in defence, makes yards from his own half, doesn't make many errors and his winger is this season's top try scorer. McBanana playing Ablett at 3 over Goulding in Exiles 1, splitting the Goulding/Charnley partnership in the process, highlights exactly how much the man is out of his depth.

Although the argument is Charnley or Briscoe, not Briscoe or Hall.
Tomkins
Briscoe
Reed
Atkins/Goulding
Hall
Widdop
Brough
Burgess
Roby
Graham
Ellis
Hock
O'Loughlin
Mossop
Crabtree
Westwood
McIlorum
I would imagine would be my team.
