"They'd butt each other like a pair of billy goats and would both look like a mess at the end of the game. I'd often see Billy an hour later sharing a beer with his rival, with both blokes sporting half a dozen stitches in their scones. They were a breed apart, fornt-rowers - blokes like Bluey were proof of that." Johnny Raper on Billy Wilson and other front rowers of the time:44393.gif |

What he does in his spare time is no concern of mine.

As a Rovers fan I can honestly say I am not fussed if we get none in and never have been, my first and only priority is Rovers. Let the other clubs risk their best players in the middle of a tough season.

I agree - I just worry about a perception developing that playing for Rovers is unhelpful to a player's International prospects. If Wellens is done with England, Briscoe has little meaningful competition and if Fox hasn't done enough to convince Smith, you wonder if he ever can. Sometimes coaches just don't fancy certain players. If the 4 nations turns into another debacle for England (and I'll hope it doesn't, even if no HKR players are involved), then I think Justin Morgan could do a good job on a part-time basis. |

They're both behind an injured adolescent (joke; T. Briscoe is a fine young player), so anything is possibly. Raynor should be ahead of Calderwood. Does Fox qualify for any of the Celtic nations?  |

Smith obviously wants a winger in the squad who can tackle.

Not trolling he is not the finished artical yet. He will be a England winger and one of the best, but he comes in field too quickly when in the defensive line on occasions and still is learning the game. He did it a couple of times aginst the Wire.

I thought part of the reason for picking an elite 17 plus the additions that will come was to start preparing a squad for the next world cup. Whilst a team needs experience as well as youth why has he picked Morley and Peacock who are both 31yrs old and will probably have retired from playing by the time it comes around.

HOW on earth do you get NILLED at Wembley ?
When your coach isn't a winner at heart and Gentle is not a winner at heart .
We were a pub team
I coached for a long time and we won 95% of games because winning is a mental state driven by a desire to CRUSH an opposition. Did FC look as though they wanted to Crush Wigan and strangle them until they screamed ? NO
RL is a tough tough game and Maylord She-dong you have no clue

With all respect that is just selfish nonsense.
There is no greater accolade for both player and club than to be picked represent thier country. |
