I thought every GB player one outstanding last night but James Graham stood out for me especially, and he's only 20! Fanastic debut i think he's gonna be a big star in the near future.
Whilst on the subject of britain i must also add that the half-back pairing of McGuire and Long worked really well. Their the two i would of picked, not Burrow, although Burrow is good.
Sorry but he was in the right place to score 2 tries which is grat but MOM etc etc is ridiculous. For me, Wellens was fantastic, Long and McGuire were excellent, Peacock was absolutely superb in the first half, those round the corner passes in the tackle were pure magic.
A bit harsh on him there CPW. He is the best prop prospect to emerge since Fielden. As DOD said, just compare him to his contempories from Wigan now plying their trade at a more realistic level.

agree, this guy will be fighting off NRL cotnracts in a few years if he continues this up. the new evolution of GB looks very strong with players like graham and ashton coming up.

Jimmy do not get me wrong I think he is a great prospect. I was talking about that match itself and people here saying he was MOM. I'm no wellens fans but he was top drawer in that match and i truly enjoyed he Peacock offloads.
He had a good game for me but as someone mentioned before he doesn't make enough yards as a coach would really like, but then again he is only 20. The next 2/3 seasons will show how good he really is but he's got miles better prospects than our current young props (except Feca).

I wasn't as fit or strong as before but my two biggest muscles still worked - my heart and my head - Kris Radlinski.

His performance puts into perspective that of our own prop prospects in Prescott and Hargreaves who will be plying their trade in the lower division and only dreaming of an international debut.
That about covers it for me...
As he gets older he'll get bigger - he hasn't even stopped growing yet. His support play is excellent and as for his attitude; he's confident, aggressive and doesn't give up (like when the Giants beat stains - after he scored he ran back with the ball for the conversion) - surely that's the attitude you want from a prop?
