The modern 13 plays much more like a 3rd 2nd row these days, that is what we need.






WEST COAST PIRATES
NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......

I agree with you. Overrated. No great loss. Jeremy Smith would have shown him up. It might even be a good thing. I'm still not convinced by Widdops kicking game and if crapbanana picks Lomax and he chokes we will need Sinfields kicking or we will get hammered.

Incidentally, an exclamation mark ends a sentence and does not require a full stop. The first letter of the next word begins a new sentence and should therefore be capitalised. Who needs flankers' grammar was actually correct.

HTH.

But Sinfields never kicked well in an England shirt. Saying that he's probably never been playing in the right position either.

O'Loughlin is rubbish. :roll:
O'Loughlin is overrated. :roll:

You read it on The Virtual Terrace. :BOW:






What if the hokey-cokey really is what it's all about?

I think if Brough doesnt play then Sinfield has to.

Ive only seen the first half from the Wire/Leeds game but Peacock if continuing in that form has to start with Graham, to offer us some form of presence. Roby picks himself. Back 3 of Ellis, Westwood and Sinfield if no Brough or Ellis, Westwood & Heighington if there is.

I think we need to have more faith in our HB's than reverting to having a LF who's not quite a second rower, and not quite a Stand Off.

I'd go with Heighington, Ellis + Westwood as 11,12 + 13.

HB's likely to be Chase + Widdop, with Tomkins at FB. If we had a hooker like Cam Smith, or Michael Monaghan I'd feel there was enough creativity, but Roby isn't that style of hooker. Try those combinations in a warm up game, if we feel we need a player with a bit more of a kicking game, I'd rather we put Brough in the halves rather than Sinfield at LF.

Why? I've been watching RL for more than 30 years and have seen many great loose forwards. Mr Niggle is not among them.

Why? I didn't see the likes of Mal Reilly, Steve Norton, Ellery Hanley, Paul Sculthorpe or George Nicholls every week either, but it was clear that they were outstanding No 13s. Mr Niggle is not.

It's funny how lots of people think Lockers is overrated. Apart from the England coaches that is.






Newsnight 13th May 2010: "With the role of Deputy Prime Minister a non-job. Has Nick Clegg gone from King Maker to tea maker????"



I kept the faith and I kept voting
Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand
For theirs is a land with a wall around it
And mine is a faith in my fellow man
Theirs is a land of hope and glory
Mine is the green field and the factory floor
Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers
And mine is the peace we knew
Between the wars
