Say what you like about Long - and I've said as much as most - but you can't question the guy's on the field toughness. |

The point was that people were questioning Kyles toughness when Long himself got injured alot.

Myler is a good player but nowhere near as good as Eastmond. Tomkins is better than both. Much more of an all round player.

| Quote: FearTheVee "Myler wouldn't figure in my side and nor would Widdop.
1 Tomkins
6 McGuire
7 Eastmond
I know McGuire has had a couple of bad games internationally, but he's had a few good ones too and is having a great season. Tomkins looks very dangerous indeed at full back and has more big match experience than Widdop.
Myler would be in my squad but wouldn't play unless 2 of Widdop/Tomkins/McGuire/Eastmond were injured.'"
100% Agree.
Sam is fast becoming a very very dangerous Full Back, watch the highlights from yesterdays game and notice him joining the line on the 4th tackle play, his work for Richards opening try was nothing short of brilliance. He is the most exciting this to come out of Wigan in years. |

Obviously the threat from him joining the line is massive but do you not think he's too much of an easy target back there? |

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg |

His defence position is very good plus the fact his attack is second to none no brainer for me |

Would have both Sam and Eastmond in the halves against the Aussies and let them play their natural game....Aussies dont like "off the cuff" rugby and these 2 are very dangerous....also liked the look of Widdop as well....these 3 could cause some damage.....as for Myler...no thanks....never rated him and he has been demoted by a hooker.

The Ablett incident for example, him catching high kicks leaves him at the mercy of dirty players, especially if there is a bit of biff in the game? |

I hope Mcnamara can prove the doubters wrong and perform well as the new coach because the talent is there to have a real good crack this year.
Don't think its fair to write him off before a single competitive game though like some have. I wish him the best of luck, I think he has every reason to be optimistic.

Eastmond scored the winning try against us in the final eliminator and then was Stains best player in the Grand Final last season. Hardly the stuff of someone who is "soft".

You mean the scrum halve who has been converted to a hooker and won the LTT at wembley at hooker...so he has been demoted by a hooker
