Peackock rubbish today no leadership at all we should make Burges,Ellis or Graham captain.



As for changes, England need to go with Eastmond and Tompkins at half back and drop Maguire.



Ellis needs to go left centre and that young lad on the wing who's played 2 games for Hull all season needs sending home

spot on



1 Brisco

2 hall

3 ellis

4 MARTIN gleeson

5 smith

6 eastmond

7 tompkins

8 peacock

9 robey

10 graham

11 burgess

12 morley

13 sinfield unfortunantly



14. higham

15. crabtree after todays performance he was good

16 LEE GILMOURE

17. westwood

Tom Briscoe did nothing wrong, Lee Smith and McGuire left him in no mans land, their defence was disgraceful.

sinfield had a very solid game today what does the guy have to do to get any credit

That's my take on it too. Easy to blame a young lad when his centre (Lee Smith) left him stranded twice by being completely out of position.

Oh dear oh dear!



Gleeson and GILMOUR aren't in the squad and Gilmour has played for Scotland, if he's anything like Brough he isn't eligable.



Higham just no.



Morley second row? The blokes a Prop through and through



Im yet to see anything from Westwood or McGuire to say why they should be in the squad

Lee Smith needs dropping

Danny McGuire needs dropping

Peacock is past it at international level

Ellis in the centres? don't be daft he's the best second rower in the game, why move him?



1. S. Briscoe

2. T. Briscoe

3. Eastmond

4. Shenton

5. Hall

6. Sinfield

7. Tomkins

8. Morley

9. Moore

10. Graham

11. Ellis

12. Crabtree

13. Burgess



14. Roby

15. Carvell

16. Westwood

17. Peacock (dropping him to the bench might fire him up a bit)

He was very good when he moved to 9, Roby was terrible.

tom briscoe did NOTHING wrong drop lee smith now and let him go 2 union crabtree what a difference when he was on same with burgess

Sinfield was outstanding & should be captain, leave Peacock to concentrate on his game, if you know what I mean. Young Briscoe took the blame for Smith terrible defence.

McGuire was at the heart of everything sh/te in the first half.

Agree he should be dropped.

And is Shenton really England quality?

We were making it easy for the Aussies playing relative novices against proper men.

We picked it up in the second half and played...................it was however like taking the p/ss out of ourselves.......by showing what we could do when we know we've lost..

We are a bunch of class losers.

I wouldn't move Ellis to centre unless we make the final, where I would put him up against Inglis....I can't see anyone else who will be able to stop him for 80 minutes.



Eastmond has to play next week and Tomkins started to show some good touches in the 2nd half, it was pretty crazy that the biggest cheer all match was when McGuire was subbed...says a lot I guess.



Overall who impressed: Burgess, Crabtree, Eastmomd. Who didn't: McGuire, Lee smith (not that I'm anti Leeds!, Smith did well at wing but was a liability at centre)



Ok so my team next week (seems the popular thing to do!)



FB - Briscoe

RW - Smith

RC - Eastmond (SH if we had a decent centre!!)

LC - Shenton

LW - Hall

SO - Tomkins

SH - Myler

PR - Morley

HK - Roby

PR - Peacock

SR - Burgess

SR - Ellis

LF - Sinfield

SBS - Crabtree, Graham, Wilkin, *anyone*



A couple of people I would like to see back in the fold next year with a bit of form would be Gleeson and Pryce....I believe Pryce would go well at centre for England, far better than what we have now anyway.
