If only we had 2 Ellis's

Say What?

Briscoe
Fox
Eastmond
Shenton
Hall
Sinfield
Tomkins
Graham
Roby
Peacock
Ellis
Westwood
Burgess

Crabtree
Morley
Carvell
Smith

Play Sinfield at 6 to start, allow some control that McGuire certainly can't offer, also hopefully allow the likes of Tomkins/Eastmond to continue where they left off today.

Don't think Morley and Peacock have the legs to be on the field at the same time these days so i'd rotate these two for the 80 mins.

Not going to bother writing a team up but I'd like to see Tomkins and Eastmond in the halves and McGuire dropped, with Carvell taking Eastmond's place on the bench. Lee Smith either dropped or moved to the wing.

Totally agree.

ellis can solid up the defence on that side and adds some size to the backs, with the kiwis we need a bit of size, id use myler as an interchange hooker; we have to keep kyle and sam at 6 and 7

Christ no.....didnt work today with him in 2nd row....him and Morley at prop...with the over-rated Ginner and Carvell on the bench.

I agree about sinfield playing well at hooker and would start with sinfield at 9 against the kiwis.

Roby for me is not a starting hooker. His passing from dummy half ain't so hot either.

I wouldn't play eastmond and tomkins at 6 and 7 just yet as it's a lot of pressure for 2 young lads. Maybe next year I'd try them as these 2 our englands next super stars without doubt.

Ellis has to play right centre next week IMO.

Isn't Lee Gilmour fit? He always pays well at international level and would be better than Peacock at SR or either of the centres.

Who would you have instead?

If your only going to play 1 young half back then surely it has to be Tomkins on current form? The only senior half back in the squad is McGuire and on his last 2 performances he deserves dropping.

I'm a believer in 'if your good enough your old enough' and Eastmond and Sam would be our most dangerous pairing

I'd keep mcguire and tomkins at 6 and 7 for next week.

Eastmond and tomkins without doubt will be our halfbacks for next 10 years if they live up to it.

I'd play eastmond centre next week but if being honest he don't get enough of the ball at centre but offers a threat outwide with his running and pace.

I think that when Eastmond came on and played in the centre against Inglis he did a very good job so I would leave him there. I think leaving Myler out was correct but I would bring him in for the NZ match as I think he will be doing his utmost to impress and get his place in the team. Sinfield's game improved in the second half when he played in the dummy half position so I would put him in at hooker and have Roby on the bench.
It will probably be very physical upfront so I would also add Carvell to the bench for more back up.

hall
mcguire
tomkins
graham
sinfield
peacock
burgess
Westwood
ellis

roby
mozza
crabtree

don't talk such utter bull! Gleeson is garbage these days.

here's a side I have no concerns about....

Eastmond
Fox
Ellis
Bridge
Hall
Sinfield
Tomkins
Graham
Roby
Moz
JP
Westwood
Burgess

Crabtree
Carvell
LMS
Moore

Thought Sams (both), Westwood, Sinfield, Big Eorl were superb today.

JP, Moz, Roby were under parr - but still worth their weight in gold.

You obviously havent seen much of him recently. That right side defence would have been alot better if Martin Gleeson would have been playing there. I think everybody can see that.

We have a winner.

Must be a Warrington fan as he's stuck Bridge in and is starting Westwood. And also put Carvell on the bench.

Westwood was one of our best performers yesterday. Odd, but true.
