Pretty much how I see it. And I think your being kind to Connolly, Newlove, Radlinski and Edwards.

Has he removed his hand from your back-side?

Lets wait and see. McGuire's career isn't over yet. I doubt McGuire will have p[iiss[/ied his talent away by the age of 28.

McGuire has also eclipsed Schofield's domestic career x100, whether the bitter old pro likes it or not.

YAWN

Half?
So, you feel it's just a handful of players that make the difference between a 3-0 whitewashing, and being world champs?

So you would have Wellens before Radlinski and Burrow before Edwards?

Edwards was never a scrum half in a month of Sundays [size=75not that I'm saying Rob Burrow is either.[/size

Based on actual international success, you would have to say yes.

Indeed. Edwards was gash at test level.

He was, and I'll always hate him for taking Schoey's captaincy, then disgracing it by trying to remove Bradley Clyde's head at Wembley.

Do you remember his next appearence at HQ after that??

Wellens couldnt lace Radlinskis left boot

as much as i rate Burrow, Edwards was quility the 2 - 3 years i saw him play, and i missed him in his prime!

Of course. Others will explain why.

Without question, your finest hour Sir!

What a crock of donkey rap, I could have done the review in 10mins, England were pants due to the influx of sub standard overseas has beens and never beens.

Thats coupled with the strangulation of youth development due to clubs going for the quick fix tells you all you need to know.

I wonder how much money they wasted on the review? I would have done it for approx £2.12p.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

It depends on how your rating the 95 team players. On international form or domestic form. Don't recall them winning many test series. Again domestically they could look good because the comp was so poor.

Edwards and Radla-ginski were support players down the middle. Danny Mac blew away the comp doing this early in his career when he got 20+ that season. Doesn't do it much nowadays because the comp is better. fwiw i think danny is a much better player now then he ever was.

East coast or West coast Donkey's? I heard that when the Blackpool Massive meet up with the Bridlington Mafia, it's carnage.

Wesssttttwwoooooooooodddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly. Full time pros in a part time competition, aided by being in a dominant team.
It's like holding Neil Turley as an proof of a decline in rugby league's top level standards.
