I am a big fan of KS; he destroyed us in the GF.

However, he is not good enough to play loose against the cons. Tony Smith is probably hoping he will plat his Leeds hybrid game as an extra stand off cum loose. If this goes wrong he will end up as a spare part and it will go very badly wrong.



My other fear is that TS will aks him to do some of the hooking which has been tried before under Nobby against the cons in 2002 in the infamous record defeat disaster "one off" mid season test in Ozland.



For what its worth I think Watmough is nothing to fear as Pritchard showed against him last week.

Apparentley we have the worst centres we've ever had, which considering sykes played last year is a pretty bold statement!

The biggest thing to fearabout Watmough is his line running.

Very good

Add turn of pace and direction too....can be mean in the tackle. Anyone who thinks Kevin Sinfield is anywhere near Watmough needs to watch SOO game 3.....Sinfield is a different player, but if he has ever had that much impact in one game I've missed it...and at SOO level??!! Quite a feat given the quality if the opposition...

super tom briscoe will be our hero

the criminals wont know whats hit em, just give him the ball and a blade of grass, he'll turn it in to points

You must be joking! Sinfield is a proven big match player at club level and i think he will eventually shut the doubters up over this series.



It seems some people want our team to fail so they can slag players from other clubs off! Why can't we all just get behind the lads and support them irrespective of which club they play for.

And if Sinfield doesn't perform again this series, will you change your opinion of his position in the Test squad?

Yes of course, I'm honest and no matter who doesn't look upto it i will admit, i just think people are shooting players down before they've even had a chance.

It wont just be Sinfield who'll look poor at the end of this game, it'll show,once again, the lack of quality players available to England! I have a feeling Sam Tomkins will enhance his reputation if nothing else

Good evening my Soap-Dodging friends,



Usually I make my appearances after we give you guys a resounding hiding, but, for once, I like the team England have announced. No more same old players that are totally out of their depths and have lost to the Kangaroos a million times already.



Good luck, hope you guys do well.

Cmon England get into them, i just want to see a good performance and see all the English lads up for it and ready to give it to the Aussies today.

McGuire & Sinfield anyone? That should definately be it now for McGuire I thought it was me that had a down on him however, walking away from the ground, I asked the best stand off I've seen what he thought of McGuire, he said; he cost us the game!

I'm happy now I thought it was just me who didn't rate!
