You can pretty much add Uate to that list as it's only a matter of time before he plays for Australia.

how about that........its often said we lack size,strength & speed in the 3/4's....i think i've just ticked all the boxes
'"
I agree that size and speed is the way to go and I think a back line of:
Tomkins
Hall/Briscoe
Tomkins
Pryce
McGilvary
Widdop
Brough
would be the best we have put out in a long time. Widdop and Pryce could rotate the strike at 6 and we genuinely have a few players that can cause some bruises. |

| Quote Jonesy="Jonesy"How good is Englands stocks?
Grab Reed, a player with limited first grade appearances.
Grab Widdop a player that was going nowhere in England and was built in Oz from 15 years of age.
Its starting to look like the English Cricket team, all you need is a a couple of South Africans.
English League is looking pretty fragile, maybe Heighington will be next.'"
Widdop has only been in Aus a few years, talks with a yorkshire accent and is secured at 6 with the minor-premiers elect in the NRL. Yeah, England should stay well clear |

| Quote Mark_W="Mark_W"For what reason?'"
Because he's better than any other option we have in truth. We're not short of good back rowers and his defensive abilities will definitely be required against the likes of Inglis and Kenny-Dowall |

not to mention his attacking abilities...the aussies & kiwis know how dangerous he is and will get sucked in enabling ellis to use his offload

Further to my comments on Luke earlier, we were down 20-0 after 20 odd today and came back to win 34-24 against the Dragons. It was about the time that Luke came on today that we began to mount a fight. He was probably the MOTM, if not the second best player on the field. He's absolutely going enormous.

Might disagree with some of your selections (e.g. Lomax, Cudjoe, Yeaman) but the sentiment is spot on. Our best 17 is capable of beating the Aussies and Kiwis but not when coached by Mr Macnamara. Mind you having said that, even Tony Smith couldn't get the best out of them, nor Brian Waite. |

or david waite either........but to be fair he got us closer to beating the aussies than any coach in the last 30 odd years...sure the records say the 2003 series was 3-0...but it does'nt even begin to tell the whole story

All that English quality over Australian quantity, eh?
Hasn't produced a series win for over four decades.
I blame it on all those missed tackles and ineffective tackles. |

Think other than Reed it's a big fight for the other centre spot between a lot of players with flaws, Yeaman, Cudjoe, J.Tomkins, Shenton, Atkins, Clubb and Ellis. |
