he has been quality over the years.

possibly the thickest looking bloke ever and has a stupid idea on a 10 team superleague

Larne Patrick, Lee Mossop and LMS all look like they could step up.

In terms of captaincy, I suppose O'Loughlin will get it, although I don't think he's cut from the same cloth as Peacock.

Presumably he will now stop bleating on about there being too many fixtures.

In a couple of years he'll be wishing he could still play thirty odd matches a year.

Its a shame that we have exactly the same situation as we did with Farrell and Sculthorpe. Both good captains, both playing the same position. Both strong and very skillful.

Unfortunately Sinfield and O'Loughlin are like school boys in size compared to them, which makes the talent and captaincy skills less appealling at international level.

Thank god he's listened.Past his sell by date international and nearly ,nearly,SL.Rangi as captain for me ,a true Englishman and role model to all up and coming young English HB.

Thanks for your efforts for GB and England, Jamie. I'll never forget you putting Willie Mason in his place after flooring Stuart Fielden in Sydney in 2007. At least we've got some talented young forwards knocking on the door to get in the England squad.
