Who are you and why are you talking to me?


Wait...no....you were right the first time.....

Just like lickle Shaun did to big, bad Bradley Clyde. Is Brad still crying about it? He was spewing years later, pathetic wimp.

A few years ago I was talking to an Aussie friend, who was a fair bit older than me, and his knowledge of RL was far head of someone like you. He liked his banter and would have a dig about us not being good at RL. He said that the two toughest players to have played the game in Australia were all British - Mal Reilly and Cliff Watson.

Funnily enough, I was at some 'do' after a Sharks game at Toyota Park and they had some awards 'do' (may have been something like a Sharks hall of fame, I can't quite remember), and someone got up to talk about Cliff Watson, and that person said he was the toughest player to have played in Australia. It was met with approval by older members of the audience, including Chris Anderson and Andrew Ettingshausen.

as england have chosen many youngsters in the squad, i decided to pick an england side of players 21 and under,

1) richard owen (castleford)
2) ryan hall (leeds)
3) michael lawrence (huddersfield)
4) kyle eastmond (st helens)
5) tom briscoe (hull)
6) sam tomkins (wigan)
7) ritchie myler (warrington)


sam burgess (south sydney)
9) scott moore (st helens)
10) ben harrison (warrington)
11) joe westerman (castleford)
12 dale ferguson (wakefield)
13) mark flanagan (west tigers)

14) mike cooper (warrington)
15) danny houghton (hull)
16) luke adamson (salford)
17) kallum watkins (leeds)

Then stop responding to my posts.

Sam Tomkins must be scratching his head

I think alot of people will be scratching their head, epsecially after Tony Smith's "I'll be picking on form rather than reputation". When was Myler's last good game?

Nothing to do with Warrington bias here then!

Myler in over Tomkins ? Mr.Smith, you could be a but subtler about your obvious club bias.

Maybe he is giving Myler some game time before we face the big guns?

Ah well, now to support the lads on Friday night.
Come on England!

Thats a Disgrace that Tompkins has not been selected.

What bothers me is the bench. How is both eastmond and roby going to work. Roby as a rotation hooker is fair enough but is he going to rotate the half backs too? Crazy decision IMO. There should be another forward on the bench.

I have to agree Tompkins should be in front of Myler ,It's good for Warrington to have him there building his confidence and progressing his game against France you could play anyone and I expect Tomkins to play against NZ and AUS,

Im pretty sure Tomkins will be used against NZ and the convicts. To say I am worried about our backline is a massive understatement!

dont lower yourself to that idiots level, brad clyde is far from a pathetic wimp. there havnt been too many more courageous players than clyde, he was never hard in the brawling or busting heads type of way, but the man never stopped, played injured, and always gave 100% for whatever team he played for. i liken edwards dog shot to that of lambs on hanley. how lamb didnt get sent off that day ill never know!
