'13 WC | Semi Final | New Zealand 20-18 England | Wembley

Rubbish! When was the last time he did 'stupid shit'? He's just been typecasted from one or two games.

Goodwin's deficiencies far outweigh Inu's. Inu out does Goodwin in almost every aspect of the game, plus he has x-factor.

I wouldn't mind Goodwin's bland attacking style if he were an exceptional defender but he isn't so why is he there again?

Have you actually watched him play??

While I agree that he is a strike player... Capable of winning you a game of football with his freakish skills...

He's just as likely to cost you a game also... Some of his handling errors are atrocious... He cost the Warriors a number of games through losing the ball set key moments because he decided to hold the ball with one hand.

How about against the Rabbits... Leaves everyone for dead with an intercept and starts smiling and coasting to the tryline only for James Roberts to sneak up behind him and tackle him.

There were big reasons why he got the arse from the warriors...

Dumb penalties at the worst time....

Like I said.... He's a strike player for sure... But for the kiwis it's not needed... They have enough strike...

They need stability on the edges... Goodwin just offers more stability than Inu does.

Apparently Chase has had a cry and quit the England camp :lol:

What a flog. Hope Widdop has a massive game in his absence.

I heard he had to leave camp because Jake the Muss gave him a hiding...

Uncle Rangi.... Uncle F*cking Rangi!!!
