Quote ="Don Brennan"No halfbacks,no chance!
I actually felt sorry for Sinfield last night,he went Into the game In the poorest form of his life and playing In a position that he aint comfortable with.
Despite that Ill give him credit that he didnt go hiding even though what he was doing wasnt particulary working out.
On the other hand his half back partner was more than happy to walk round the pitch with has hands In his pocket and let everyone else try to create.
Its actualy quite hard to judge the backs because they didnt get any decent ball it was just simply shifting It across the line.
I hope Peacock can get back to something like because were going to need that at the end of the year.
At this level Carvell Is just an out and out plodder,he must pick Crabtree ahead of him next time in fact Mason should be given a go before Carvell again.
Hopefully that was Mickymacs last ever England appearance, back to Ireland.
Curlytop was another non performer, J Tomkins has all the skills to be a good thirteen doesn't he?
I thought Robinson went well again,him and Roby at the end of the year.
Another Giant needs to be looked at IMO and thats Mgillvery(spell) he's a lot more dynamic than Hall.
Brough and Widdop at halves should at least give the backs something to work with.'"
McIlorum played? I only had half an eye on the game and having missed the line ups, honestly did not notice him at all.
