Mac needs to improve!

[josie andrews]

Josie your getting more like Hattie Jaques every day.The topic was dying and the discussion was by some of this forums best posters,come on now there's a time and place.

Then they should have made a new thread with a new topic instead of hijacking a particularly good thread ????

I am all for locking threads were the discussion takes a wrong turn and either could break site rules or gets personal. However, sometimes threads just naturally evolve and as long as they are still a good discussion I don't see a problem with it personally. Being a biologist I am all for evolution, I mean where would we be without it!!

No come on Josie is not like that. That is not nice at all, you should realy be ashamed.

Tbh she should be called Kim IL-Andrews.

What are your views now Gimble?

Difference today was simple England was bullied down the middle and Williams was poor if that was Matty Smith a 10 page thread would have been up by now. New Zealand pack did not get moved around enough. TRUE

I would put Hardaker at centre move Bateman to the bench and go with Roby for 80.

As for the fitness levels if England move the ball around and move the pack around NZ will go as they did last week.

Cannot agree there Gimble. NZ getting more match fit after two games will be as fit as England.
Not sure that I would move Bateman to the bench even. For me today he proved he is not an international centre but then we all knew that and Watkins was just as poor and he is an excellent centre. Thought his performance today would not have RU sides flooding to buy him after Leeds put him out on the market in the Burgess debacle.
If Hardaker goes to Centre who is our full back? Gale? Westwood and Farrell in the second row, the lad from the Bulls\Cats has been a sore disappointment for me in both tests and that may keep Bateman on the bench.

Who mentioned "locking threads"? ????

A slight detour is fine when it veers back on track, but to go completely off the rails & not even venture an attempt to return to the topic in question "Mac needs to improve" is beyond evolution, it is taking on Frankenstein proportions ???? ????????????

I actually thought I was reading a completely different thread ???? ????

Hardaker for all he can do in SL is not an International FB. That was a bad decision to bring in Sam Tomkins and he had not played in months and not cover that position.

Fitness would have been an issue if the NZ pack got moved round. Both sides are equally as fit NZ dictated the pace of the game and it was a bit slow at times.

England's 3 weakness is all apparent and needs to be sorted for next year. Hopefully ST comes in to FB that will improve 1 centre area, but is Watkins SL standard or can he step up.

Second row is an issue but lets hope Joel improves after the op. I watched us play Catalan at the DW this season and Whitehead was shocking he cost them 2-3 of first tries. He is decent nothing more. Bateman should go on the bench is a lot better than Whitehead.

Correct me if I am wrong but threads get locked if they go off topic do they not?

Like you did with the one I started titled 'Carney to.....'?
