It's a relative statement I think, when compared to people like Inglis he's only a small guy and might get bossed around.

He's gone absent in a few games this season when he's been clattered.

His defence.

I will be at the match at the DW stadium.

Hope to see how Sam Tomkins and Sean O'loughlin go against the Aussies.

Also I can't wait to see Jarryd Hayne play.

Can anyone honestly say players like Sykes or Bridge can stand up to what Australia have to offer? Thank god Folau isn't playing.

I personally would gamble on Eastmond at centre - certainly against France and see how it goes. At times he's shown he can be explosive from the position and would at least be a bit of a surprise factor. I also think some of the criticisms of his defence are a little OTT.

I'd rather see Ellis in the centre than Eastmond.

I think that is were Ellis will play. I cannot see him getting in the second row.

Gareth Ellis won't make the second row? Are you high? He's been arguably the best second rower in the NRL this season, Tigers fans absolutely love him. He will be the first choice in the second row.

I agree he'll walk into the england side

BUT

to say hes the best in the NRL is a huge statement. watmough, hindmarsh
just to name two.

Third best second rower. Official.

He'll play every game at second row. From that squad (would have played Senior and Pryce instead of Smith and Shenton, and was starting to think about giving Diskin a spot) I'd go:

FB Shaun Briscoe
RW Lee Smith
RC Michael Shenton
LC Kyle Eastmond
LW Ryan Hall
SO Danny McGuire
SH Sam Tomkins
P James Graham
H Scott Moore
P Jamie Peacock
SR Sean O'Loughlin
SR Gareth Ellis
LF Kevin Sinfield

S Adrian Morley
S James Roby
S Gareth Carvell
S Sam Burgess

Tell Sinfield to just kick, tackle and try not to screw things up. Everyone needs to be on top form defending against their backs, the good thing is that the forwards should at least give us a good platform to work off.
