Then, the games were poorly attended, and 2nd string players the norm, as the 'stars' of the time often stepped down for one reason or another. (I'll leave that open
 )
It flopped then and I (sadly) see no reason as to why it wouldn't flop again.

As a young lad of 19 years, i think i went to one game and cant remember it at all!
Your saying that it flopped, but it cant be as bad as that garbage the bbc showed us on saturday!?
Either that or just change it back to bloody GB! With all the Team GB hype from the olympics, you think the RFL would of cashed in on it, i know it isnt an olympic sport but it has soo much more appeal that the 4 nations do! |

to be fair, this is not the full Eng lineup. We have at least 2 halves missing (chase, widdop), and the opportunity next season for a few of the more talented juniors to push themselves into the frame eg gaskell, lomax, as well as the option of using Sam.
Add to that the other Aussie based players that are not here, and next years Eng side will be a lot stronger.
We also now have strength in depth in the 3/4s for the first time in 20 years.
IF we can solve the problems at 6 and 7, we WILL be a real threat

All it's really telling me is that we're more than likely going to end up with a New Zealand / Australia World Cup Final as we're way behind those two.

We beat NZ fairly comfortably last year, I don't think we are too far behind them. Add Sam burgess, graham, widdop, Westwood, Roby lockers etc to this squad. I agree 7 is definitely the problem position. Myler needs to improve massively. As do the other options. I'd probably be leaning towards a sinfield and widdop hb pairing for next year, though I still don't like sinfield at 6 in the big games, I'd much rather widdop at six alongside a genuine quality scrum half, but I don't think we have one! |

I'd go with a Widdop/Chase half back pairing, for me Sinfield is no more than a utility player at international level.
I think Lockers would go before him at LF, Widdop before him at SO, Roby before him at Hooker. He's really unlucky but I think there are better players than him for specific positions. Although there's no doubt he's very handy to have in the squad to cover for any injuries. |
