to join the club he was playing against

100% spot on, very good centre but not a stand off in a million years, he may have played stand off for England but so has Sinfield, Farrell and Sculthorpe!!

Lets compare these to the Aussies Lockyer, Thurston and Laurie Daly and New Zealand's Benji Marshall, people still wonder why they are light years ahead of us.

I struggle to think of 1 world class British stand off, out of all the players playing that is a shocking stat, reason behind it is clubs either have overseas players at 6 or fill the position with a loose forward ala Sinfield.

About time we saw some proper class British halfbacks coming thru, stand off should be quick over first 5 meters allowing them to see the gap and more importantly go thru the gap, a decent kicking game would be nice too.

Kevin Brown was never and will never be a stand off, neither will Grix (not knocking em as both decent players but not 6's)

spot on with grix never being a stand off...luckily anderson knows this too.

I look forward then to seeing what the solution is then for 2013 !!!!!!!

think we all are!

shame the gale and seymour coups didnt pay off

I assumed you had an idea on what the solution was going to be!
