If you are not part of the solution then you are more likely part of the problem...: |

| Quote: Big Dave T "Why?
Myler will play. Mcguire probably will but i'd choose Tomkins, both are equally weak in defence.
Eastmond has shown that he can play centre and do very special things for saints, defensively he may get found out but then so might any other centre we have. Wouldnt you chance your arm and go for the flair players?'"
I wouldnt play Myler and Tomkins together at half back against the Aussies but I would find a place for Eastmond without a shadow of a doubt. |

Mcguire has pretty much under performed his entire international career and Myler is going to be 7. I wouldnt see an issue with playing Tomkins, he has something special.
Only other option i guess would be to alter the team i said and play Sinfield at 6 and bring Ellis off the bench to 13. |

No he hasn't, he's looked the one player of the 6s, 7s & 13s who's proved himself.
Anyway, why would you choose Smith ahead of S Briscoe with T Briscoe ahead of Fox? |

It just goes to show how bad thing's are in the back's when we have to look at people who can play their; but it's not the position they play for their club week in week out. Our centres will get creamed.

Because T Briscoe has played the last 2 and hasnt done anything to be replaced and S Briscoe is injured isnt he? Dont de-rail the thread with your FC v Rovers ramblings, some of us are trying to have a decent conversation here.  |

He hasn't done anything wrong granted but look at what Pelo did for the French - Fox is the only winger who can offer this type of threat.
Why would you replace S Briscoe with Smith?

Fox has offered no threat and by your own fans admission been way off form for the last couple of months. Dont see how he would get the spot back when Tom Briscoe as done all asked of him. Thats my rationale.
Regards to S Briscoe, did you read my reply? Go back and re-read it. |

Pelo is very underrated IMO. Always enjoy watching him in SL. |

Fair point about his knock-ons etc. but Smith is best playing him and hope his confidence returns cos then he's capable of producing fireworks.
It's Fox's own fault his form dropped significantly after the Cas game and I hope he has learned from this.

| Quote: General Zod. "Not at all. Fox [ialways[/i offers a threat. Rovers fans (including myself) admit he's been in poor form but even in his poor form, he still remains a threat, and that's why he should play against Aus/NZ.'" He can be a threat, i admit, but how many chances is he going to get against Aus compared with how many times he's going to be tested in defence which is his obvious weakness. |

Bit unfair on pelo IMO. He didn't drop that much ball |

Fox is strong but that's about it. he regularly loses posession, is rubbish under the high ball, isn't particluarly quick and his defence is suspect. Briscoe is 5 years younger than him and streets ahead in terms of ability |

when you put it like that I wonder how he scored 18 tries and got in the dream team last year  |
