| Quote: Birkbygiant "Thought Eorl made a big impact today, although seeing a re-run of the game, I'd give MOM for England to Tomkins, he certainly made things happen and was tenacious with his tackling.
I somehow think the Aussies mentally switched off second half as they murdered us first half, but having said that it gives us hope after the second half performance.'"
they certainly did switch off which was a big mistake, when england upped the ante australia just couldnt get back into gear and ended up struggling

| Quote: Danril "You cannot judge any player on one performance. The Aussies know Morley and Peacock. They did not know Eorl.
'"
I would not consider dropping either of them on one performance but MORLEY is not the same international player that he was and we saw that last season as well as this. Hi is not as menacing as he previously was
MORLEY was a great player and now after this series would be a good time to hang up his international boots.
Peacock again a great player but did not seem as effective in the second row. He is another player who i think needs to pick up or consider international retirement.
I found it sad that both of them seemed to go AWOL against Australia when other forwards did not.
maybe they have a psychological block after being hammered by Australia over the years i dont know. I do think that we need a clear out of all those who have failed so many times and bring in players with no fear . That is why it was great seeing Tompkins playing . No fear and just trying to be different.
I would be looking to build a team now for the 2013 World Cup. Every international before then should be about blooding and developing players who can give us a chance of being competitive and winning the WC.
We cannot afford the WC in England to fail. It is a great opportunity for the game here we ned to make sure we are ready to seize it.

| Big Eorl did very well. Probably the only England forward with the physical presence to trouble the Aussies. Some good off-loads too.

| Nice to hear the big Cheer when Crabtree came on against the Kiwis.
looks like he not only picks up the crowd when in a Giants shirt but now does it when wearing an England one.

| Another good game for the "big fella" hopefully he'll now kick on from here and move his game up yet another level, he's certainly proved to the doubters he has the ability to play on the big stage and has been a big plus for this England side and has won the well earned respect of a lot of RL fans/critics from other clubs who doubted his ability to cut it at international level. Really hope he has a great game and gets a try in a England victory next week to cap what has been a great season for the "Gentle Giant".
Well done Eorl

| Big Eorl was immense. He's the new leader of the pack. JP and Mozza are the old bulls, and Eorl, Sam and Graham the young bulls. Massive respect to him, he's looking like a super star these days.

| Thought he was fantastic last night and the only downside was whe the ref penalised him for holding down when it was clear he was having his shirt pulled so he could not release. Eorl was clearly annoyed by that.
Crikey even the bulls fans near us were crying out, 'come on Eorl'.
Good banter last night with the Kiwi supporters, too.
Bring on the Aussies

| A contract, is like a guarentee, its not worth the paper its written on
lt would all depend on how Eorl reacted to an offer.
The biggest noise l ever heard, was the sound of money
