You should all look on the bright side 4 up and coming young players.

Ratchford = Salford
Tomkins = Wigan
Myler = Warrington
Eastmond = St Helens

All from different clubs the future is bright.

we could argue until hell freezes over over who is better/who should play this weekend/who holds the key to beating the colonials, but at the end of the day we have 4 brilliant youngsters, the future is indeed bright!

Its a shame for rachford, but smith has his rules and all must obey if they want to be succesful.

Now all we need to do is find some centres , wingers and fullbacks to complement them.

I think there's a fair few around, they might not be 'top class', but many look to have potential. Top of my head ...

Hall, T.Briscoe, Wheeler, Dean, Riley, Penny, Lawrence, Cudjoe, Welham, Sharp, Owen, Ainscough, George, Atkins, Goulding.

I think with many of these, there's something raw to work with.

Westerman, Ferguson, Mitchell, Cooper, Ashurst, Dixon... a few forwards I can think of

Also is Lunt at Huddersfield English? Really rate that lad highly!

The only ones that fill me with hope from that list are Hall and Cudjoe with potential to be international class.

Compare these to the likes of Hodges, Inglis, Folau, Hayne.... when they were that age.

You just haven't got a clue have you? You're a complete muppet.

Tony Smith continues to show his bias towards Wire. He clearly picked Myler against France knowing it would be an easy run out, but now we're mixing it with the big boys he's keeping Myler safe and instead putting in Tomkins who'll take the battering. How biased can you get? Next thing he'll be putting Westwood on the bench so he only has to come on once the Aussies are knackered. Hang on, though...........................

love it!!!

cant please some people

The point is they are similar age and they are miles ahead, thats the point I am making, and that makes me a muppet for saying Inglis, Folau.... are better than Goulding and the rest and your calling me a mupppet.

Why do you persist in plagueing this board with your un-wanted views ? You may argue that this is a forum and you have a point of view to put across, but no one cares what you think.

Now run along back to your smelly pie board and bother your own kind, theres nothing here for you.

Idiot from Wigan this is what you wrote.

Inglis, Folau and Hayne are all younger than Cudjoe so how exactly are you going to compare him with the Aussie players when they were his age when they are not evenm at his age yet.

It is you're as in you are a prick

If Myler had stayed at Salford he would have been totally unsuitable for selection, wouldn't he?

Would of been more suitable as he would of played the full season.

Inglis and Hayne are both older than Leroy Cudjoe.

both tomkins and myler are good young prospects and should be congratulated in representing england at such a young age,especially when they are up against lockyer and thurston.says a lot about the standard of our game when we have to pitch these two in against the worlds best,the fact is we have no one else who haven't already tried and failed against the aussies and kiwis.these games could either make or break them,but both should be applauded no matter what the outcome of these games are.personally i would have played them both,if they come out of these games having done well then it can only be good for the future of both clubs.

The warrington fans will mock you, but you are bang on

I would imagine that if Myler had played against Aus then you would have said something similar about a Wire bias. Out of curiosity, which team selection could he have made that would not have shown a Wire bias or would be correct in your eyes?

Yes, just like the previous occasions he has played internationals.

I would hardly class 2 appearances in junior internationals littered with average players a glittering career to date.

Apart from from the perspicacious wire74, it would seem that appreciation of irony is a lost art on this board.............................my post was meant to highlight the feebleness of previous criticism of TS, but I was clearly too subtle for some.

This is a ridiculous thread.
