Benny Westwood is a really nice bloke, so you must be referring to yourself and Hock.

He could have meant Wilkin to be fair, I find the preening weirdo a little bit nauseating.

He might be a perfect gentleman off the field; I am referring to how he conducts himself on the field. Why you have chosen to insult me I'll never know. Grow up.

That would be an impressive pack, especially with two of Hill/Mossop/Crabtree/Morley/Carrvell on the bench!

That would match anything that Australia or NZ could offer. Shame the same can't be said about our centres and halfbacks.

I agree completely. Tomkins at full back, and Hall/Charnley on the wings is very strong, but we don't have enough qualiaty centres. Atkins, Yeaman, Bridge, et al just don't cut it. I think Jack Reed is one for the future, but we need another of a similar quality.

The problem with British half backs is the lack of consistency shown by the coach. Sinfield, Chase, Brough, Widdop, Smith, McGuire, Burrow, Lomax. Instead of chopping and changing them for every game, pick the two best and stick to them. Lockyer and Thurston played together year in, year out for the Aussies, and they were one of the main reasons for theisr success. I'd go for Widdop at 6, Brough at 7, but I bet we see loose forward Sinfield in there somewhere and probably Rangi aswell.

Pick the side, stick with it as rigidly as possible. Obviously if a player is injured/out of form then make a bold decision and drop them, but try and give the same players an opportunity.

Put Roby in your team as hooker and the rest of the team will be wasted. He'll be busy bumping up his stats while space and overlaps go begging.

That's what I'd go with.

If you hadn't edited your original post you would be able to see quite clearly why I did it.

Originaly you wrote;



You then changed it to;



You changed it AFTER I took exception to what you had said about Super Ben. So you obviously do know why I chose to insult you. Far from 'never knowing' you knew all along.

Why am I having to explain this to the person that wrote it?

Westwood was outstanding yesterday, as he has been for quite some time. He really impressed me in last years 4 Nations, where he was certainly one of Englands best players, and seems to have improved again this year.

Agreed

Having spoken to him once i found him to be a really decent guy.

It's a shame a Mr L Briers doesn't fancy pulling a white jersey on really. I'd switch Ellis and O' Loughlin around in that side but you're more or less there.
