...I am dumbstruck. Noble has picked the worst possible scrumbase trio possible in Sinfield, Harris and Deacon.
he said he pulled off Deacon last week because GB were on the back foot - so how does that help by bringing off a 7?! He's given him 'a vote of confidence' by playing him again, and has left Horne out, so at least we don't have a HB on the bench like we did last week.
Sinfield was absolutely rubbish last week but at least he's not in the halves. Harris I'm a bit of a fan of even though most seasoned SL watchers say he's had it now, but Deacon...Deacon?!
The Australians are playing a really poor GB line up this week. My earlier prediction of a 30-0 GB win must be revised to a 16-10 GB win.
Great Britain: P Wellens (St Helens); B Carney (Wigan), M Gleeson (Warrington), K Senior (Leeds), L Pryce (Bradford); I Harris (Bradford), P Deacon (Bradford); S Fielden (Bradford), K Cunningham (St Helens), A Morley (Sydney Roosters), P Johnson (Bradford), J Peacock (Bradford, capt), K Sinfield (Leeds).
Replacements (from): M Higham (St Helens), J Thackray (Hull), L Gilmour (St Helens), G Ellis (Leeds), C Walker (Leeds)
