Quote: morrisseyisawire "Get a grip. I didn't say they weren't ok (or in Sinfield's case very good) players, just that they are being played out of position and, whilst you might get away with it sometimes at club level, you won't get away with it at international level.
Would you do a straight swop Ablett for Rhys Evans? or Atkins?
Would you play Sinfield at 6 in preference for Briers?
No. Ablett is a good utility backrower, Sinfield is a average SL stand-off, a capable hooker, a very good LF and an excellent kicker. Full stop, end of.'"
To be fair you did say Ablett wasn't a centre at SL or even Sunday pub level, which is clearly an exaggeration, but I agree that I found it extremely depressing to see him named at centre for a pre-world cup match.
