Who else can kick goals besides Westwood. ( That is if we get a chance to kick for goal. ) He is not going to stay on the pitch all of the match is he? Mind you with McBanana who knows.

Well no one from wigan after the grand final kicking display thats for sure!

Joking aside lockers has kicked a few for us, granted not many but a few, but doesnt cudjoe kick?

Danny Brough "Scottish" you are having a laugh. Put him self up for selection for England after the world cup because he thought himself better than he is. England said no thanks and like the mugs we are, we took him back.Would not touch him with a barge pole.

I have the uneasy feeling it isn't going to matter. Bookies have Australia by 18, which I think is on the low side.

Fair enough.

Still, I think his kicking game would make a big difference in this England side.

Danny Brough dictating to and playing behind the big English pack would be light years ahead of what wer'e going to get on Sunday morning.

We all moan and goan about the dearth of cocky, arrogant, gobe halfbacks since the days of Andy Gregory, Alex Murphy and even Bobby Goulding but in Brough you have someone right out of that mould. I'm not saying he's in their class but he would not cowtail to the Ausies, he would have a go with boot, ball, gob, shoulder the lot, the Ausies would certainly know he'd played!

He played 2nd row last week.

He actually packed down at prop a few times when we had head and feed!! Can anyone explain that?

No

I think Sam at Full back is a bad move. And why move Lockers into the halves when Sam is our best half back ?

Sam isn't big enough for a FB at this sort of level. The Ozzies will throw everything at him.

Cudjoe

Yep. I predicted this before the tournament.

agreed

I think he's gonna get his head taken off a few times

we'll get murdered.

sam at 1....good idea
wings....goulding..tick
briscoe...mmmmm
cujoe at centre...theyll trample all over him....

which i suppose leaves roby and brown for 6 and 7

That's one thing they won't do. One of the best defensive players in superleague. Only missed 12 tackles all season.

England have a chance in this game but less so with a loose forward at stand off. Should have kept faith with Brown.

Side looked much better last week with tomkins at full back.

Cudjoe will be fine at centre. Atkins in the team is more of a worry.

I can only recall 3 away victory's V Aus ( Gregory and Gregory 1989, Phil Clarke Dummy and the whole Wigan pack playing and the Willie meets stuart Fielden game).

Hence what's new.

Quit the whinging and get behind the team. At least most of them have years ahead of them.
