I can see where you're coming from, but I think we've discussed this before.
A team has three good props and their opponents have 3,000. Only 4 of those 3,000 are going to get into the 17. You're then looking at 3 good props against 4. Looks a lot better doesn't it?
The Aussies have got a dearth of amazing centres, but they can only have two on the field. Think positive

There may be a gulf between the backs but lets concentrate on our positives like speed in the backs, massive pack and the underdog tag.

We need to get into their faces from the start and like you say 'stick it up em' because they don't like it they won't know what to do.

We need a boisterous and aggressive defence and attack especially from the forwards for players like Tomkins/Eastmond/Myler to rip them up.

We can't afford for people like Graham to do what he did in the WC were he fell into the defensive line for a quick PTB we need our pack to bash them up.

I know Morley, Ellis, Peacock and Burgess won't need telling they will be fired up enough as it is.

I agree!

We need our forwards to steam roll them big style. Eastmond and Tomkins could be devastating, they will not know much about them.

Exactly, Superleague coaches don't know much about them never mind the Aussies. They will be lambs to the slaughter unless our pack sets the platform, if they do we stand a good chance of winning.

The thing is though, the aussies will walk all over eastmond once they spot he is weak.

I can't believe people want Eastmond at centre Inglis, Folau

Bench for sure and see where we need him. We could even have him darting up the middle from hooker sometimes, he doesn't get a chance to do that at saints with QPTB pryce in the way.

Very surpirsed about Myler over Burrow - although saying that he is probably the "teachers pet" at Dire.

What the feck is 'weak' about Eastmond?

It's a relative statement I think, when compared to people like Inglis he's only a small guy and might get bossed around.

He's gone absent in a few games this season when he's been clattered.

His defence.

I will be at the match at the DW stadium.

Hope to see how Sam Tomkins and Sean O'loughlin go against the Aussies.

Also I can't wait to see Jarryd Hayne play.

Can anyone honestly say players like Sykes or Bridge can stand up to what Australia have to offer? Thank god Folau isn't playing.

I personally would gamble on Eastmond at centre - certainly against France and see how it goes. At times he's shown he can be explosive from the position and would at least be a bit of a surprise factor. I also think some of the criticisms of his defence are a little OTT.

I'd rather see Ellis in the centre than Eastmond.
