If you followed any sports forum the same list would be there,just change Australia for the top team in that sport. The biggest criticism of officials is the home ones not the Aussie one. I dare say down under there will be thet it's the most the sport same critics of the NRL. But the world our game is in has several competitive sides now(aus,NZ Tonga, Samoa,England,PNG and a fully available Fiji side. The three of NZ, Samoa and occasionally Tonga compete better against the Aussies,we have no problems matching everyone bar Australia. But it's the most competitive the game has ever been.

Arthritis, or is that the Atherton strain.

International wise decent crowds on both sides of the world shows there is an appetite for international games. England have played,Tonga, Samoa and Australia in three consecutive years, next year a world cup. We just have to keep going and playing these games.

Why will he be able to pick French and Field.

Why bother if we can't play it in the countries concerned.

Not a hint of sarcasm there

It's all about opinions, I don't know your opinion but I won't judge you on it.

On today's team Brimson 6 Young. 6 Farnworth. 6 Wardle. 6 Johnstone 5 Williams 5 Smith. 7 Mcmeeken 5 Litten. 6 Lees 8 KPP. 7 Watkins 7 Knowles 8 Lewis N/A too little time Walmsley 5 Smithies. 7 Oledzki 7 I didn't score lower than 5 for players Wane 4 Jack Smith 3

Just a bit of friendly advice, but by all means carry on it's your time.

I thought Smith is our only true number 7 and putting stand offs in his position clearly doesn't work.

It's part of the game, always has been, in the past fullback was judged on his defence not attack, it's changed in the last thirty years. You also attract comments on Welsby because of your almost stalker like support of him. By all means support him, pass a comment but stop going on and on.

Sorry but that is rubbish, Walsh better yes, the spine yes The wingers and centres never. It's the spine and 2nd row that cut England open all the England centres and wings would have improved the Aussies.

Looks like Dufty is on his way out at Warrington, has only been given the number 24 shirt.

His defence was decent in seasons past helped by his pace, but he has lost that aspect of his Armoury,so is now being exposed for poor positioning, also you need to play fullback to hone your skills not other positions especially at the elite level.
