Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Quote ="Rogues Gallery"I'm really surprised he's kept Peacock in the second ">row.'"
Agreed. Peacock is our best front rower so why on earth are we playing him in the second row. Personally I think Tony Smith has lost the plot here and not only with that decision. Why on gods earth have we to potentially three backrowers on the bench (depending on where Burgess comes on)??? As a Saints fan I dont think Wilkin is up to International level and personally I would have rather an extra prop on the bench in Carvell. The New Zealanders are a physically huge team and we need as much beef up front starting as we do on the bench.

I'm happy with Bridge being selected, strong, aggressive, quick and good hands.
The only real gripes I have are
a) with Roby starting (rather Diskin but if not Sinfield was great at 9 last week),
b) Wilkin - don't think he's big enough or plays hard enough for a forward. He's fine when his teams on top but I think he'll get little change from teh kiwis or aussies
c) and possibly Peacock at 2nd row- not as mobile as he was and starting to show his age a little I think.
Brave decision to go with Sam and Kyle at the halves - good decision.

Agreed with all points here. Roby should be on the bench, his best work is when he comes off and reaps havoc on tired defences. Wilkin isnt International standard and Peacock is the best front rower in SL (with the possible exception of Graham). Leave the Captain at Prop.
