Roby, JJB, Peacock, Burgess

i dont think we have a utility back that would be much better than Ellis or wild in the centres,

i dont think we have a winger who can play FB who wouldnt be embarrassed at test level (bar Lee Smith who will be gone unfortunately)

Are you Tony Smith because the team you have picked is virtually the team that went to the WC and did sod all.

im not sure what roby would offer, the speed around the ruck has been completely removed from our game, maybe it will be reffed differently at international level, if it is, i would have him in there



i dont think he had a terrible world cup, i think he had a poor one, but was still probably the best back we had,

he is also, and has also been much much better than either shenton or atkins, and atkins has been absolutley embarrassed by senior everytime i have seen them go up against each other

i would hope the message that it would send out to our youngsters is you are continually being shown up by an old man who is a country mile better than you, and he in turn has shown he is a little too old for international level, yet we need to stick with him because he is so much better than you are, so buck up your ideas because your not even close to getting in the squad, never mind having that squad win anything

If you dont think that senior had a terrible world cup thats upto you, i thought he was one of the worst players out there, offering nothing in attack and making some terrible errors in defence.

In your opinion he has been much better than shenton and atkins but you havent seen all the players as much as each other, i havent seen as much of senior and atkins as some but i can tell you he's (shenton) been in pretty good form, especially considering how little ball he got while sherwin was injured. If you look at the stats in most areas shenton and senior are pretty closely matched whilsts in a few areas they are much better than one another ie senior has more try assists but shenton has more tries, senior misses less tackles but makes more errors and concedes more penalties.

It all about opinions so we will have to agree to disagree.

Briscoe
Fox
Gleeson
Yeaman - or is he injured? If not, probably Shenton



Hall
Mcguire
Burrow
Morley
Roby
Peacock
Ellis
Burgess
Sinfield



O'Loughlin
Graham
Tomkins
Westwood

:v05jvjaf
i disagree, i certainly thought he offered more than Gleeson, Wellens, or Gardner,

not to mention how awful pryce was

Briscoe, Fox, Hall, Carvell, Burgess, Moore, O'Loughlin. Except those 7 you mean?

Flannery is Australian.



And who the fewk is Anderson? And Fulton? lol. The only player I wouldn't mind seeing over O'Loughlin is Wild. But that's it.

I know flannery is australian the post that started this just said 4 better lf's in sl, not neccersarily ones who would play for england. As for fulton and anderson, i'm suprised you didnt notice them playing at wembley the other day (anderson scored a try), or did you not watch the game?

Good to see people cant see past their own chips still when it comes to international selections.

So whyTF are you naming Australians when the OP said to name players you'd have over O'Loughlin. Nobody said anything about better LF's in SL.

Vinnie Anderson. I lol'd. He wasn't even playing LF in the CC Final.

This is the best team I've seen on the thread.

Thats what i read it as, if you want i can clarify what i was saying so you can sleep at night these are the lfs i rate as better than him in sl. The point still remains (if you want it just to apply to english players, theres an easy way round your problem, ignore then none english ones)

As for anderson you know who he is now? thats good it makes you sound a little more credible. You lol'd well thats great, good for you. Doesnt change my opinion but i'm glad your happy. I know he didnt play loose forward in the cup final, whats your point? does that have anything to do with how good a loose forward he is (bearing in mind he was covering in the halfs).

So we are knackered

Get some big powerful threequarters in there like Fox, Hall, Yeaman and Senior and stick a ball player who can get some passes to them close in to the Aussie line, like Cooke. Pace in the half backs isn't everything, a brain can often be the match winner.

Briscoe
Fox
Gleeson
Pyrce
Hall
Tomkins
Burrow
Morley
Roby
Peacock
Ellis
Burgess
O'Loughlin

Graham
Wilkin
Carvel/Crabtree
Moore

As its been said the back looks poor compared to Slater Hayne Inglis Hodges Folua Lockyer Thruston. But the Starting forwards look quality and will hold there own, although I worry when Morley and Peacock come off

Not an easy choice at the moment... I keep changing my mind - and not for good reasons



1. Briscoe
2. Raynor
3. Gleeson
4. Shenton
5. Fox
6. Tomkins
7. Myler
8. Peacock
9. Higham
10. Morley
11. Ellis
12. Crabtree
13. S Burgess

14. Lynch
15. Graham
16. Wild
17. Roby

Ps anyone picking Wilkin or Pryce is insane

Rubbish.

Steven Wild is a decent player out of them but attacking wise he isn't a patch on O'loughlin.

The rest don't come close.

Mathers
Raynor
Atkins
Gleeson
Hall
McGuire
Burrow
Morley
Diskin
Carvell
Ellis
Crabtree
Sinfield

Graham
Burgess
O'Loughlin
Roby

The correct answer is:

Wellens
Fox
Gleeson
Senior
Hall
McGuire
Tomkins
Morley
Diskin
Peacock
Burgess
Ellis
Sinfield

Graham
Fa'asavalu
Roby
Wilkin

Pryce chokes at international level and I choke at including a Wiganer in the team. Gleeson, Senior and Burgess play better in a national jersey than for their clubs IMHO.

Retired

Yes, I remember the 1982 invincibles - that's why beating the Aussies matters. Then that will be British dominance in RL, RU, cricket, football, tennis ...err.. what other real sports do the Aussies play?

EDIT:

Pryce
Fox
Gleeson
Shenton
Hall
McGuire
Burrow
Graham
Moore
Peacock
Ellis
Burgess
O Loughlin

Carvell
Roby
Morley
