arcticchris Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 2 minutes ago, Dunbar said: This is such a tough decision for Wane. The captain is the full back but I think Welsby is rapidly becoming England's best player and may the key to our success at the World Cup. But it is a long tournament and I am sure Welsby will find his place in the team. I think it is more likely to be a choice between Welsby and Sneyd for the starting team. Welsby is surely a certainty for the 17 and no need to go with 2 hookers as Radley has played enough there for the Roosters to adequately spell Ackers mid game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Frightful Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Man, I hate Wellsby when he's playing against Hull FC, but I rather think I'll adore him playing for England in this tournament. 4 1 "When I saw the Pistols and The Clash I realised it didn't seem that difficult, they didn't seem like they could play very well either, so the thing was to form a band then work it out. We didn't even know who was going to play what - we passed around all the instruments until we found what we were comfortable with. I wasn't comfortable with any of them so I became the singer."

But, they can't. He's not really English. Not like Henry Paul or Lesley Vainakolo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Wane will see the value of the Sneyd's kicking game - I personally think despite being captain tonight it may be Williams or Welsby next week. 3 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

Harry Stottle Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Good performance, but I cannot get my head around this England kit, having watched our national team since the mid sixties and seeing the iconic colours white, red and or blue why is it now White and Black, I honestly hope this is not for diversity reasons that would be taking Political Correctness to far. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunbar Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 9 minutes ago, Futtocks said: I wasn't accusing you. But this RWC's build-up has been full of the usual nonsense we always get, where the coach and every player gets slagged off and belittled (on the standard club-partisan lines) before a single match has kicked off. The "some of you" comment in a quoted reply to my post certainly felt like it was aimed at me. Normally I wouldn't mind but the only Rugby League team in the whole world that I actually passionately care about winning is England. 1 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

jacksy Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Sneyd's goal kicking could also help him. 1 Rugby Union the only game in the world were the spectators handle the ball more than the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
