Some of the posts by some fans about Harrison have been harsh.

He averages more tackles than Mossop, has made more offloads and has made more tackle breaks. Harrisons work rate is exceptional, he always wins the tackle in defence and is good at slowing the play the ball down. I think Mossop is a slightly better player than Harrison but calling him useless and can't play anywhere is quite simply not true. I'd have Harrison at 13 for England, theres no point in having a ball playing L/F against the Aussies as the only way we can beat them is by having bigger forwards and dominating them. This is what id have.

Graham Roby Mossop

Burgess Westwood

Harrison

What about O'Loughlin? He is a million times the player Harrison is/will ever be.

Did you watch any of this years' State Of Origin series? There's no way we can dominate an Aussie pack. We can match them certainly but even with a 100% fit set of forwards we won't domionate the likes of Matt Scott, Paul Gallen, Beau Scott and Sam Thaiday. We need to be creative if we're going to have any chance of beating them, which won't happen with McBanana in cahrge but that's another issue altogether

creative...., so forwards that can offload would help, rules Mossop out.... maybe Paul Wood should be given a go, has better stats than Mossop this year and has nearly 10 times as many offloads.

Knowing McNamara, he's more likely to select Rex Mossop and Victoria Wood.

Just because Mossop doesn't offload playing for Wigan doesn't mean he can't offload. Joel Tomkins, Ryan Hoffman, Paul Prescott, Andy Coley etc etc are all very good offloaders but don't offload much when playing for Wigan. It's just Wigan's style of play.

Stats also mean little when comparing players from two different teams. Different amounts of game time, different hookers, different playing styles in teams, completely different team performances or performances from opposing teams means that stats aren't accurate.

Wigan don't attempt offloads generally as a rule. Our forwards are pretty conservative in that respect. Paul Wood is a good shout on form but Mossop is a pick for the future with Wood being 30 by the time the 4 Nations comes about

Paul would should be given a go, but not in place of Mossop. There's room for both in the team.

Paul Wood for England pfft.

So your saying we are going to beat the Aussies in the three quarters and half backs?

None of our three quarters would get into Australias fourth team.

Even Sam Tomkins isn't better than any of: Slater, Gidley, Carney, Boyd ect

Graham and Burgess are better than all those forwards apart from Gallen who they are on a similar level to.

The others arn't any better than what we have got. If we have the likes of Burgess, Westwood Harrison putting in big hits we could dominate them on our day. Did you see what happened when Thaiday ran at the NSW number 7 in the second game? He just went low and won the collision with ease.

O Loughlin Btw hasn't proven himself at International level when given the opportunity. But i'd rather have him than Sinfield any day of the week.

Ben Creagh was very dominant against Wigan in the wcc.... and he isn't one of the aussies outstanding players.... its a myth that our forwards match up against the aussies and its just our backs that let us down..... Sam Burgess and Graham are not better forwards than Matt Scott... how did you even come to that conclusion?
