At least we have a fall guy if we dont get to the final

Missing the point completely! If thats what you think, you're a fool.

Well Mr Fox, you're in the spotlight now, in a pressure game too, show the rest of us you can handle it.

I think its the right move though. Tom Briscoe has had a flavour of international rugby vs the best team in the world and is still only 18. Years left in him at the top flight.

lets just hope for general zod and englands sake he has a stormer!
come on england!

exicting half back pairing, but i fear a kiwi win is on the cards.

100% correct decision by Tony Smith to play Fox over the ineffectual Tom Briscoe for the multiple reasons I've already stated.

I think Bridge is a well rounded centre who has decent footwork.

The half-back pairing is exciting.

I too share concerns about Peacock in the second-row but I've got a feeling Peacock will actually start in the front-row and Morley will play right second-row insode Bridge as they have done for Wire this year I believe...

He'll get my support in an England shirt. Are we not allowed opinions now? Btw I have held this opinion on Fox even when he was at Wakey so it's not a Rovers thing.

I hope he and Bridge prove me wrong but imo neither are International class.

And neither is Tom Briscoe (yet)

Think thats a fair comment. Who do we have as other options though? Guess thats the reason theyre in.

Once again club bias. I never said he was and personally I thought it was ridiculous to pick him in the first place.

paul m you do realise your not allowed your own opinion on this board ha ha! every thing rovers has to be loved and agreed with.

Personally I'd have played Smith and Hall on the wings and had Gleeson and Shenton in the centres. I know Gleeson is not in the squad and has been poor this season but imo he was still the best option imo.

Tom Briscoe is a good player for his age, very mature . I would have him at Rovers , he will be a top player for FC, however i do think the Aussie game was far too much for him, his inexperience showed, but i'm sure he will learn from this, him and Jack will do well with FC.

Did the omission of a little smiley face confuse you sweety pie?
But yes, you're correct, fool I am.

Be sure to email him and let him know you approve. He'll be made up.

Typo.

You can't talk rugby league cos you're out of your depth son - just like Tom Briscoe was against Australia...

you seriously think Zods capable of using email



he struggles on here as it is

this is true, but it didnt help that he had NO centre playing inside of him either did it.
im not gonna slate Tom Briscoe for his performance, it would have been the same for any winger in that game, against that opposition. (without a decent centre)

i like the side except wilkin.

id have had Carvell in before Wilkin or Westwood TBH.
Wilkin has had a quiet season for me.

And Fox can walk all over Inglis can he


Good luck to him though, just hope Sau isn't opposite Bridge otherwise they may get bashed a bit.

i think Sau played on the other side against the Aussies, it would have been Steve Matai but hes out injured.

theres a surprise!

inu or soliola will probably play there.

Krishnan Inu then!
