Inu is too hot and cold for me so I am not bothered if he goes. Romano was pretty good, he has a good build for a centre but didn't look particularly quick. Seguier was outstanding imo.

Joe is with Melbourne Storm now mate, I will follow his progress with interest.

I like these threads talking about up and coming players to keep an eye on. Herbie Farnworth is a good call, I saw him score a hat trick a few weeks ago and he looked all class, very similar to Nic Cotric at Canberra Raiders. Depending on what age group we are talking about but what I have seen of 18yo Jack Walker at Leeds, he is outstanding.

The thing about Harvey Livett I have noticed is he is a natural try scorer, following him back to his scholarship days he was always on the try scorers list often scoring hat tricks.

Rubbish, props cart the ball up the middle, Sam is far more dangerous on the edges with his skill and mobility. Lock forwards have a much more roving role which suits him down to the ground.

Everyone is arguing over the omissions etc and rightly so but Sam Burgess at prop ? that is probably the worst selection of all. So when Samoa win convincingly, will the RFL have the balls to sack Wayne Bennett ?

Agree, I have always thought Mark Aston has a lot to offer, he has never had money to throw around or star players but always seems to get the best out of his players.

This test is a nightmare for England, the players needed to fly out last week to give them time to acclimatise, expecting them to be at their best arriving 5 days before a big test is a disgrace.

This game will prove that Wayne Bennett is not the man to take England forward, I think Samoa will win.

A couple of things about Blake Austin, I saw an interview with him a couple of weeks ago and he said his goal was to play Origin and for Australia, that in itself should put a black marker through his name. The other thing is he has really been pretty ordinary this season, he's had the odd moment of class but has been disappointing in general.

Larroyer would still be in my 17, Yaha would be on 1 wing and I'd have Albert before Bosc.

I spoke about him on another forum earlier this year, this kid really has something special about him.

Le Cam is only 17, looking forward to seeing how he develops physically. Id say he has exceeded expectations playing in the under 19's so far this season.

I think he scored 3 tries last weekend and possibly 2 the week before v Leeds, not a bad effort for a second rower.

It's all about getting the best out of your players, making average players good and making good players great etc. Dary Powell deserves a hell of a lot of credit not only for that but the style Cas are playing is fantastic to watch. Some coaches are all about themselves and they're egos, the best coaches couldn't give a damn about ###### like that.
