Rob Burrows in our 4 games this season as done nothing against us with ball in hand, He as been no danger imo. He should be behind Tomkins, Myler and Easdtmond for me.

I think Smith has shown some balls in dropping established players.



He still needs to put up a good show in this tournement.



The lee smith pick shows though he hasn't totally gone for a future england strategy.



I think the saints players called up bar wilkin are justified.



I dont really want eastmond to be a standout performer as it will increase his standing when we have yet to seal a new contract.



I suspect he will chime in from the bench in some games.



Its myler and tomkins for 6 and 7 but i think burrow has been a bit hard done by.



Pryce now must see he is at a crossroads for club and country.



He will get a rest and time to think.



Personally I would like potter to give him the 13 shirt and focus on a new 6 and 7 which would be risky but would help the development of the team.



Freed of a sixes responsibility and the responsibility of being the senior half I think we would see Leon back to his best.



We have several options to try next year - wheeler and eastmond, eastmond and moore , wheeler and moore



And if it goes pear shaped Pryce and even wilkin have shown they can do a job in the halves.



Personally I think both wheeler or eastmond would make great sixes its 7 where we may struggle for kicking and organisation. That could bring in a 9 (moore) to take up the slack or we may need to look outside the club in the future.



Sykes inclusion must be a slap in the face for pryce and senior.

We're going to be smashed. I might even bet on a record defeat against Australia.
