Couldn't make the game tonight as I'm away from Wigan but watched Leeds and Hull on Sky. The performance of Jamie Peacock concerned me big time especially given he's guaranteed to be picked by the clueless Mcnamara.

It was terrible. 5 handling errors and 5 penalties conceded. What makes it worse is the Sky team seem to follow the Mcnamara mindset that he is infallible. After one big run (his only highlight) comes the inevitable praise about how he's an inspirational leader and still a great player.

Peacock is the number one example of why we have no chance this year and never will under Mcnamara's gutless selections.

what he said.

The problem being that was one of Peacocks better performances this season, he was even worse before he was picked for the exiles game, he is finished, and as you say, shouldn't but probably will get selected for the 4 nations team.

What do you expect when McBanana watches videos of games courtesy of Sky Sports.

Surely if your national coach you can get a copy from the clubs video of the game with an unbiased view on it rather than them two pratts jibbering on about players reputation.

IMO Peacock was brilliant but he is finished, time to move on with the likes of Mossop.

Me and my Dad laughed when, at the end of match interviews, Peacock mentioned about his teams improved discipline. On several occasions Peacock swung in with high tackles, and he only got a warning off the ref. Bit hypocritical there Jamie !

Made the most meters and was pretty high in the tackle count. injuries like peacock and McGuire will take till next season to really get over. Not sure if JP should be in the England team though. Just shows how crap our depth is, but that's what you get from a second rate comp

Would love to see mossop in the 4 nations. Let's see what he's got at the next level. Can't see any point in fooking around with JP and Moz. It's not like we have a sniff so lets get the next lot ready to have a crack over the next 5 to 10 years.

You need to have a 'mean streak' in the front row, and IMHO, Mossop is a bit too young to take on the Ozzies. That's not to say he won't become a legend in the future , it is possible. He certainly plays well above his weight.

I agree with the JP sentimet but have to disagree about Moz. He is doing alright this season but may not be outstanding (by his standards). We could do with a bit of a transition period Graham and Burges (if fit) again are shoe ins. Crabtree has been knocking on the door for a couple of seasons. Realistically then who would be trusted? IMO Mossop could do with a year with England Knights but wouldn't be surprised if he makes the full Englad squad.

But I also think JP should be around the squad a bit like a role Radz didwith Smith.

Peacock has been poor every time I have seen him this year and looks way past his best. Even last season he seemed to be going downhill. There is no way he should be selected for England in the 4 Nations, never mind be captain.

It is time to move on from Peacock and Morley. As per the norm GB/England are quite strong fro numbers at prop.

Wigooners obsessing over Leeds players....

It is your attitude that marks out a good rugby player, and JP has that in bucket loads. He leads from the front, and although he is close to his sell buy date, if you want to claim his International or Club spot, then you have to be better, not simply be younger.


HTH

Peacock in terms of GB/Eng shouldn't be considered neither should Morley, i agree with GDMM on that, it's time to bring the new wave in.

Peacock still does a job in SL though and he kept out Ben Cross too

Stick a Fork in him, He's done!
