Your kicking was still better than Alessi's in the SRC so I wouldnt beat yourself up over that one He's the only other genuine 8 though isnt he? Or is Skippos an 8?
A big call, that's for sure - but the team can change from game-to-game if it doesn't work. Biggest call for my money is Bobrad being in the team. Definitely not a pick I'd have been making. Just need the tactical substitution orders and I can get this show on the road.
Post more next season and you'll be fine. You've been weighed down by low seasonal activity which has impacted your form. You're still a top class flanker. Yeah, well I might not agree with that per se, but I think it would have been better to put you/Blunder at centre and play Warrington on the wing instead. But Bobrad does have top form on his side, which will help.
Bobrad has consistently outplayed Warrington for England. It's Faldo and Raftery I feel a bit bad abut
Wahey representation for a cnut. Never play him at 12 though, his centre partner's performance drops off a cliff.
Not a lesser standard than this match though. Pleased to be involved, don't get me wrong. There's a lot riding on the old North/South business though.
