Quote ="St pete"The 2 best English centres IMO is gleeson and senior. I'm not saying shenton won't become good player but he's got few years before world cup. I just think any coach of any team in any sport should pick the he feels will win the ">games.'" Gleeson hasn't had his best year but is still very sound defensively and was playing well towards the back end of the year. He didn't get picked because he dared to want to leave Warrington and Smith has held a grudge against him for that. Both Gleeson and Leon Pryce should have been selected as they're easily 2 of our best outside backs(i'd have played Pryce at centre) and we'd have been a better side with them in. It's not like they're over the hill either.

Quote ="St pete"I would put gleeson in the centres and pryce on the wing. I also think rob burrow should be scrumhalf. No way should myler be in before ">burrow.'" Either way they should both be in. It was our weakest area even with them in and Smith's done us no favours by taking them out. I could understand if by taking them out he was handing their positions to players he thought could take over long term but one of them in Lee Smith is off to Rugby Union at the end of this series(you couldn't make it up). As for Burrow i like him but he offers little direction for the team from halfback and even though a good runner hasn't had his best season. I think the off seasons worth of rest will do him the world of good. Unlike in the outside backs we actually have some quality options in the halfs.

Can't believe playin Pryce at cantre or on the wing is being discussed! It took him 8/9 years to find his best position, now he's found it, you want to move him back to the jack of all trade's! If he's not good enough to get in the squad as a 6, he's not good enough! Simple as that! The Aussies arn't going to play Cooper Cronk at centre, so why should we try it!

No but they play hayne out of postion.
