Towards the end of the game they seemed (from the Carnegie) to be laughing away without a care in the world.

Anyone confirm whether they were arguing or arranging who was getting the first round in at Keiths birthday bash?

Gafa was laughing at how easy he had managed to put Senior in his pocket.

along the lines of, how do ya get away with kieth?

Yep, he made Senior look poor which is sad really because Gafa is no great centre himself.

He's alot better than people give him credit for...

Gafa's solid but no world beater which worries me because Senior's still the best left centre in England.

Tell me you've been drinking.

Go for it... whos beter?

Shenton.

Id say there isnt much in them but Senior is a stronger defender ATM. Shenton will be good in a few years though. Either way, you must understand the point I am making.

Atkins.

Shut up.

Yes, but your stretching it HH.

not really, its rather worrying that at senior age (and loss of speed etc) he still walks into england team. and i have no doubt he'd be in the squad at the end of this year, if he hadn't put his hand up saying that he's had enough playing rep level

Thats because the coach has no gonads, he does'nt pick form players just ones on past performances.

Bollox when senior was picked last year he was the form left centre!!

To be fair every time Seniors got hold of the ball he had 3 or 4 men on his back. He was seen as a major threat to the Quins so they made sure they wrapped him up. When that happens there aint much he can do.

Goes back to the Watkins discussion again - If Leeds had a decent right centre too, they wouldn't be able to focus on Senior as much as the defence would be too stretched and holes would leek.

Im sure most teams would like to wrap Gidley up but Saints play with that much speed and have so much threat in every position Gidley always finds himself 1v1 with his opposite number.
