To be honest Widdop did more in his 15minute spell than Chase or Sinfield all game. Chase was poor all game, and to be honest hasn't done anything all tournament. Sinfield's control of the game was appalling. His kicking game was average at best, but ball in hand there was nothing. Hopefully Lomax and Gaskell will mature into international players for two years time.

Sarginson looks far more promising than Gaskell.

I said it before and now I'll say it again,



Brough should have been at scrum half, once you've selected him there is no need to shoehorn Sinfield into the team. That allows you to play Gareth Widdop at Stand Off where he's been a revelation for Melbourne in the NRL.



The Bough/Widdop partnership is almost a perfect duplication of the Cronk/Widdop partnership that's dominated the NRL.

lomax looks the real deal

I feel a little uncomfortable about someone who has already played for one nation so to that end I do not like the fact Brough has played for a full member of the international board and has switched allegiance. He is a confident lad so it bothers me why he felt the need to play for and then abandon Scotland. Surely he would have got a look in for England had he waited or did he want a holiday to Aus for the last World cup?



I say if they have played for a country then they stick to that country.

What have you got against Lomax and Gaskell? Neither has played a full season at first grade yet (and Lomax had never played at 7 before 2011) but Lomax still got Young Player of the Year award so presumably he showed some talent!



Gaskell has pulled off some beauties in terms of his kicking but is still raw and needs time. There could be other halves out there too but they will all be in the same position because we have no halves out there who are older than them but capable of playing at international level.



More teams need to focus on bringing young players through in our key positions rather than doing what Wigan have done yet again and importing to the backline. There will be centres, wingers and halfbacks out there but only a few teams are bringing them through at present.

My team is more guilty than many others but if we don't get the overseas quota down to a max of three per club we will NEVER have enough Tallent available to be the best in the world.

I have nothing against them, just don't think they will be International class, sorry about that

I think we lack a half back combination that is prepared to run at the line and inject some pace into the back line. I'm a Cas fan and chase shouldn't have been SH. Yes he's had an outstanding season for us but playing at SO with and experienced SH inside him.



Having seen lomax a few times this season he plays with pace and isn't afraid to take the line on, the same can be said for brough. Widdop MUST play at SO. We need to get some dog into our defence and as much as it pains me to say it, someone like Ryan bailey could have added that.



Why we stand off the Aussies and let them play, continually kick to a player instead of into space, we don't slow them down at the ptb. All these things they do to us but we don't/won't reciprocate! As the old adage goes...get into them!

We have high hopes for Joe Mellor. I'm hoping he's blooded in the first team this season because if there's one critism of MM he didnt blood some some of the younger players last season when he could/should have.

Ahh yet another dig at Wigan. Thats not like you is it ?

I wonder how Rangi would have done playing at fullback thats waht he got man of steel for. And there were others that weren't up to scratch why target Chase?
