It's a shame that there are only maybe three recent players with any sort of aura about them - Robinson, Farrell and Sculthorpe. The rest are just the average joes GB have been trotting out for far too long.


I agree totally. We mentioned this the other week. If the ginger doormat asked me to do something the first thing I'd do is take ze michael out of his. If Scully or Robinson asked I'd nod happily and set off.

Can't believe Scully isn't yet involved in the coaching setup anywhere. He's one player who everyone seemed to listen to.

You're all having a go at Radlinski but he's been the best British fullback in The past 15 years or so. Great player.

Pretty well rubbish.

If he's in there to instil a more professional approach than there are few better choices.

Not sure he's much of an inspiration though - is Richie Myler likely to think "wow it's Kris Radlinski!!"? I somehow doubt it.

If players at that level need someone to instil a more professional approach then they just shouldn't be picked.






I'm not Jesus Christ, I've come to accept that now.
