A big claim.....but yes from what I've seen of him he looks a good old fashioned winger with bags of confidence and strength (the contest with Hall was pretty special) On the Leeds forum I mentioned him (and of course Williams) as been one of your stand out players.

But as was pointed out to me by another poster over there, won't you be switching him to Left wing next season with Charnley reclaiming the Right wing slot?

I was hoping Tomkins would pull out, two serious injuries this year and I doubt he's had a proper off season since he got into our first team, a break would do him the world of good.

Manfredi better than Briscoe? You lot must be sniffing something.

Did Briscoe even play yesterday?

Check the stats. Or just watch the game rather than going off somebodies reputation.
Briscoe did naff all yesterday whilst, Manfredi was one of the best on the pitch, with a particularly spectacular try contesting England's best winger!
Manfredi has stood out in almost every game he's played this year.
Briscoe is still a great player.

Who do you suggest?
I agree his form isn't great.
You started the question I've replied so I'm interested in your thoughts.

No.

Wigan lost to a team a man down this year.

A moral victory for Leeds

I hope not.

He has a great step off his right foot.

That doesn't work as well out on the left wing.

What's fantastic is that England has a glut of wing options - Burgess, Manfredi, Hall, Briscoe, McGillvary are all players you couldn't really grumble about being selected. It's a real shame Reed got himself injured in the NRL GF, as he's been in really good nick this year.

Oddly, England's pack seems again to be the likely weakness to me. With Sam Burgess on the dark side and George injured, we don't really have any standout forwards. Its not that long ago that our best players relative to Aus/NZ were all in the pack.

True. I think Walmsley is a bigger loss then has really been mentioned because he really added that size that is comparable to the Kiwi set.

We look a bit leightweight aside from Tom Burgess.

James Graham, James Roby????

Williams has to get some game time. As a Leeds fan, he scares the s**t out of me every time he gets the ball. So good to see a half back attack the defensive line.

Which stats are we comparing? Manfredi 5 tackles, averaging 7m per carry, 2 errors, 0 offloads, 2 penalties conceded? Aye, one of the best on the pitch. You'll have to do better than that to oust a player with a proven pedigree with nearly 150 tries to his name.

George williams has to play, that kid is class.

Also tony club should have been selected for his tactical kicking.

Oh you are a wit aren't you Mr Coward? So original too.
I'm reet made up that you feel so obliged to pass on your wit and wisdom on to us mere Wigooners.

Sorry yes, Graham can be outstanding (much less so this year than last IMO). Roby I'm less convinced about.

Is the south stand for the third test unreserved

Seriously doubt it. Internationals at the DW are normally allocated seating, meaning capacity is generally every seat in the stadium (less a few hundred in the North Stand, bottom right hand corner which are obscured by the big screen).

13,000 sold to date according to a report on the England RL website.

I'd imagine if we get a positive result in either of the first two games the rest will go pretty quickly.
