When Ryan Hall's record for England comes under scrutiny by Wigan fans saying that Budgie and Marshall could have done better for GB/England
Budgie couldn't even smuggle his way onto the plane as he has been that bad for Wigan this season(Pun in there if you can find it)and both would have got absolutely murdered in test match games against the Kiwis

You do realise that it was a 9's competition which is neither Hall's or Jermaine McGillvary's ideal game due to their lack of out and out pace? Читать дальше...

Any idea which nrl player we have been talking to? According to league express.... Hooker maybe??

What is a "fake saints fan?" Presumably someone who pretends to but does not really support St Helens? Why would someone be like that? How do you know that anyone is like that? Who are you referring to and what is your evidence?

What has Zak Hardaker done wrong for Wigan he won 3 player of the year awards at the end of season awards dinner he has saved us so many times this season and also finished 2nd top points scorer not too shabby

The player of the Nines World Cup tournament was Australia's Mitchell Moses who is of Lebanese descent. He just pipped the Kiwi Shaun Johnson, who is partly of Laotian descent (his mother). The third best player was Samuel Tomkins, who is pure English. It shows that the game has a truly cosmopolitan pedigree and we need to take advantage of that by bringing the game to foreign shores as soon as possible. Rugby Union does that, and that is why it is thriving around the world, and stealing our best players. Читать дальше...

Ryan Hall and Jermaine McGillvary.

Seriously ... ?

Budgie and Marshy could have done a better job in their slippers.

You are absolutely right about the players.
However there is stacks of money in the Japanese game and they are wanting to be big in RU.

It would take a franchise in the NRL to get them involved imho.

There's no right or wrong approach imo.

Look at Truman for example. He's only 13 months older than Smith, but has 60+ games under his belt.

If you're good enough then you're old enough. The only ones who will know that are the coaches as they see him a hell of a lot more than anyone on here.

ATEOTD however he's going to have to get game time at some point.

I may be about to talk a complete load of pigswill, but I've watched a lot of the Japanese team in the RU World Cup over the last couple of weeks, and they seem to come pretty close to demonstrating the speed, handling and skill levels of an RL team playing the 15-man code. This approach has been unique in this WC and took them all the way to the quarter-finals, where they were simply outmuscled by the structure of South Africa....this notwithstanding, they were fast, adventurous and skillful, and...

Serious strength in depth next year. My guess is there will be a couple of departures in the off season.

First Team

French
Marshall
Hardaker

ISA
Smithies

Byrne
Partington

HANKINSON
Bibby
Davies
Shorrocks
Sammut
Navarette
Bourough
Clubb
Wells
Greenwood
Joe Shorrocks

Harry Smith
Havard
Mitch Clarke
Bibby / Rushton

Yes have to agree about Reece. Shame but that's how it goes.

Indeed. You could have Cooper and Philbin coming off the bench. The days of 4 quality props would be back again.

What annoys me are the technical infringements that are penalised at the scrum. OK the scrums may be nice & tidy ,but the ref still watches the scrum half feed his own front row making all the pushing & shoving largely irrelevant .

I don't like saying this, but Reece Lyne was crap and looked a right plodder.Due to the form he was in for the last part of the season I was surprised he got anywhere near England and his performance's,imo, backed this up.Unfortunately,since he bulked up, he has lost that sharpness that 9's demands and strangely he was a liability in the tackle, getting brushed off quite regularly, as far as I could see.Sorry Reece,but that's how I saw it.

Off that dirty ####### Ronnie Gibbs. The look he gave Gibbs, after he got to his feet, was priceless.
I remember Gibbs doing the same the year before, in the WCC at the same venue. There must be something about the Piedome air, that brings the worst out in Ronnie

Poor terminology but I think you get the jist of it.

I too want French on the ball, as I’ve said give him the ball in space and there’s not many who would catch him. I’m just unsure which position is best, I think we could come up with reasonable arguments advocating him for most, if not all, back line slots.
