Missed that. Just watched the Aussies then turned it off. What was said??

Just usual tripe. Pryce on the wing was a cracker. Also started on about our running from acting half and made the point that we look better when the forwards make yards, no s*it sherlcok!!

Pryce, IMO, shouldn't be playing. I know some will disagree, but why split up a Grand Final winning partnership of McGuire and Burrow just to stick him in because he plays for Saints? If Pryce was to play, it would be in the centres for me. Where Smith got Gleeson for 6 from amazes me.

There is no doubting Pryce's ability as an individual, but he isn't a player that can fit in to an international side, similar to Long and Briers, the best England pairing may well be from teams lower down the league.

Interesting. Who would you suggest though? Horne and Thorman?

Luke Robinson
Myler
Cooke

All creative players that would give England more than they have currently.

Burrow, Pryce and McGuire are all runners of the ball for me. They dont give us enough creativity like an attacking kicking game for example that the players i named above would bring to the team. Balance is key. There is no debate that Burrow, Mcguire and Pryce are all good players but you need balance too. Look at the England football team with Gerard and Lampard in midfield. Both world class players but no balance.

Definatly one for the future. Can't see Cooke or Robinson taking the reigns, but you never know.

Vastly over-rated in my eyes.

I'd just love England to have a half back that can open the gap with the timing of a pass and put a runner away. Burrow, Pryce and McGuire dont have the ability to take the line on and time a pass like that.
