I'd say cam smith would take that mantle spud!

 

[Sam_the_man]

I agree with Spud that on current form both Tomkins and Roby would make the Kiwis.

 

[JasonE]

I still think England need to get players involved who are naturally talented and have the ability to shine at test level, players such as Joe Westerman who is in great form with Hull FC.

Royce Simmons has said Roby is as good as Smith this year.

 

[Didgi]

I don't think he's really wrong, but no-one will take him seriously until he's doing it in the NRL.

 

[roughyedspud]

different type of hookers though are'nt they..either way they are 1&2



roby really should have gone to the NRL instead of signing his latest st helens contract

Why?

 

[roughyedspud]

cos it'll make him a better player

whats up with you now?? :lol:

Players don't magically become better when the play in the NRL. I hate that attitude. It's like when people are naming people like Flanagan and Luke Burgess in their England sides despite the fact that they were reserve grade players over here. Roby would carve up if he went to the NRL, because he's one of the best players in the world. Would he suddenly become a better player? Of course not.

 

[dogz08]

too bad your best player will be off to union in a couple of years

 

[roughyedspud]

never said anything about mark flanagan???,i've told you i would have had luke near the england team last season when he played here and i would'nt have jack reed in the england team even if he opted for england cos i don't think he's good enough...so that attitude you think i have is way off :lol:


why should james roby be in the NRL? cos thats where he should be..

I wasn't accusing you particularly. It's just something that winds me up. SL benefits from having players like Roby, it's not a feeder league.

 

[roughyedspud]

and england would benefit from havng a core group playing in NRL

 

[Evil Homer]

Why would they? If all the best players went to the NRL, it would just mean Super League would be a lower standard. It wouldn't achieve anything.

 

[roughyedspud]

i did'nt say all the best players homer stop being over dramatic..i said a core group...5,6,7,8...whatever


and if SL is that dependant on so few players then we might as well pack up and go home.....or watch a championship1 team like i do :lol:

 

[Evil Homer]

If you take the 7 best English players from Super League (or any sporting league for that matter), the competition would clearly be weaker, and for what gain? So that people can actually acknowledge their abilities because of the league they play in?
