From a purely selfish point of view I hope the selectors keep on ignoring FC's players. It always interferes with pre season and coaches say we are "undercooked"

Unfortunately, I feel this year's four nations will see the team packed full of NRL playing englishmen, with super league players making up the numbers. Hope I'm wrong though.
Think the props will be Graham, G & T Burgess and Cooper, injury permitting. Probably even Sam Burgess ahead of the likes of Hill, Taylor and Watts etc

The difference between that game was he didn't need to throw that pass after working hard to be back in the game. This game however we needed that play, he learned from his mistake of when and when not to offload the ball, and after the run and half break he earned the right to throw that pass but what a pass it Was so close to the ground. I believe if he didn't make that play we couldn't have held out for much longer. That's the sign of a top prop forward, and if memory serves me right he's still only 26, he's becoming a favourite of mine, now we need to keep this group of forwards together as they are devastating at times with the ball and brutal without, they all work in tandem and no one shoots the line, it must be a nightmare for the opposition to play against, LONG MAY IT CONTINUE.

They do play a higher standard of rugby so probably correct. Bennett will now what he's doing though and won't pick on reputation or club alone.

Agreed, but I wouldnt say that was down to the forwards, british fowards tend to go well over in the nrl, and I reckon our front row would be a match for any nrl front row
