Agree with that. I like Chase (his sometimes sh|thouse tackling aside) but in my opinion if you have Chase in your team, to use him properly, you need to build the team around him and almost every play has to go through him.



I'd rather see Widdop given a full game at 6 and see what he can do alongside Sinfield. I also like the thought of Tomkins with his hands on the ball more often at 6 and Hardaker at 1.

Theres nothing wrong with the structure england attack with it, as long as the halves take on the defence sometimes as well.



Unless you want a return to the rudderless, flat footed headless chicken attack england have always had before.



Look at the first try against australia at cardiff. It was structured play which isolated defenders, and created an overlap for hall. Australia have been scoring tries like that against us for years. Roby, sinfield and chase all combined well for that try.



I think some people on here think the halves are supposed to sh*t miracles and run rigns around the defence all the time. Not even the likes of thurston do that.

Talking about half-backs, that English lad playing for Scotland is doing alright isn't he?

You mean like Jamie Peacock?? Might just be me but a lot of the media were saying they didn't think Sinfield should be playing 6.

Hmmmm Leeds fans commenting on Sinfield, impartial defined !!!!





Ill state this again, it's not that I think Sinfield is a bad player and is the best we have but it's not like he is anywhere near world class. If Sinfield was Australian how many caps would he have ??? Maybe 3 u21 ones ???

Compared to all the other english players who would have numerous caps for australia at half back

Eh? Not sure where you think I've said the structure we have is a particularly bad thing, my sole point was in response to someone saying Tomkins should be at 6, moving him there isn't going to change things because of the structured plan we have, in fact I'd say it weakens us.

I struggle to see the relevance ??? My point is KS isn't world class and your reply is that I'm wrong because other English halves aren't world class ???

We posted 20 points against the Aussies in game one despite having very little of the ball or field position in the second period.



We then put 30 on Ireland in as many minutes in the second game, before cruising to victory.



I fail to see what is wrong with this current structure.Our main concern should be cutting out silly errors and penalty's in the wrong area of the field.Do that and we we won't be far away.

The relevance is that it doesnt really matter whether hes World Class or not if he is the best we have!

So you not read my input in the thread before posting then no ???

When did I say you were wrong?



It was you who spoke about how he wouldn't get in the australian national team so I think it's perfectly relevant to discuss which other english half backs would do, who do you think was the last english half back who was good enough to play for them?
