depite having played for england! now there's an oxymoron!

So have Scott Moore and Mickey Higham.

Hasn't Sykes played for England too?

....and so have Martin Gleeson and Sean O'Loughlin.

Hasn't Fielden?

The biggest myth ever, that McGuire is just a support player.

Myler will never ever be in the same class as Danny Mcguire

Yes and funnily enough, he's in the set up again. What about Myler? Briers?

Briers is Welsh (by choice)

what complete nonsense Danny Mcguire would get a nose bleed trying to set up two dummy drop offs and a face ball. no creative skills whatsoever.

Rob Burrow is twice the player Mcguire is and never gets a sniff of International caps

Not because he wouldn't be picked to play for England, oh no.

why do you really think from the plethora of inventive, creative,quality passing and kicking stand offs we have in the game he ranks lower than Kevin Brown, Richard Horne, and Danny Mcguire and Leon Pryce?

deary me not so long ago Brown and pryce were playing on the Wings.....

Think you will find that Eddie led the briers for Britain campaign not England. he played against the Ausies with whales before and in that first half ripped them apart, and caused them problems in the second half

thats a bit harsh....some of the lower league players and union lads they brought back were a touch off peak physical fitness,

but I wouldnt call them Whales.....

I think that says more about Briers than anythig.

Whats gone wrong with this kid,dint Andrew johns say he was the next big thing not long ago.

so to rephrase what you've implied, fielden was good enough, then not good enough & now he's good enough again!
perhaps you may reflect on the fact that myler was good enough, currently is felt to be not good enough, but at his age has just as much a chance of being good enough again in the future!

now what's your point?

He doesn't appear to have one...... again.

I would have thought it obvious. Myler (or Briers) isn't good enough for a call up.

Despite how anti-wire you are , even you must admit that if Briers was English you would have him in the England team instead of Kevin Brown(Who has impressed me at times but not in the same league as Briers)

Briers + Brown in the halves

Tomkins at FB.

Not sure about Tomkins at full back. He is great in Superleague but against the Aussies im not sure i would prefer Widdop but heard he has played at half back this season?

He's supposed to be Storms new 6 next year. Whether thats down to him being a stand off or just Slater being there i'm not sur.

Either way though, Sam being at FB will mean he can get the ball when and where he wants it, and he's our best attacking threat.

Defensively, is widdop really going to be able to stop Hayne better than Sam? Sams tackling technique is second to none in that he just goes for the legs everytime. But anyone who plays at FB is on a hiding to nothing defensively, we may as well have our best attacking threat there.

Saying that though, the lack of options in the halves at this point in time kind of dictate Sam needs to be there.

Going for the legs everytime does not equate to "his tackling technique is second to none". In fact, you couldnt be any more wrong.

Your right, I'd rate both as equally poor.

No doubt they play well for their respective clubs occasionally but that's about it
