Couldn't agree more BWIS. Diskin's been showing the sort of pace from dummy half that Roby has all season. He's got a real eye for catching the markers off guard, either to win a penalty or break through completely.

It'll be Diskin and Roby. No doubt about it.

Diskin, Godwin, Higham would all fair well in the World Cup. It's a shame Mcllorum's opted for the Irish. Danny Houghton looks agood prospect but it may be too soon for him. Godwins No#1 for me. He has everything and HE wont back down to any Aussie!!!!

Also, Ryan Hudson may find himself in the reckoning, although he's a bit hit n' miss. Anyone @ Quins?

Higham deserves a seat on the plane to Oz,he's been awesome for the pies. (learned his trade at saints) Roby and Higham on song at 9, a match for anyone. Diskin to go also with Hudson as a wild card.

The pack are a match for anyone along with the half backs, concerns are the centre's.

Put ya dosh on England to win this one

Newton offers better service at the play the ball. His passing game is still better than the others mentioned. Roby and Higham have pace but their passing and kicking are not at the same level as Newton. Diskin is probably the best option, as he does possess a kicking game near the line.

All the lads mentioned are good players, if you want some "biff" then its a pity Newtons out, he can mix it and his dummy half service is good, for me Diskin has bee consistent and Roby has got to be in, just hope these two keep healthy through the play offs.

Whikst TN is a nasty piece of work, he doesn't half get up the oppositions noses. I'd definately have him in my first choice 17.

Roby is a reactive player, takes advantage of slow defenders and good support play and perfect of the bench to exploit tiring legs but we need a leader starting at number 9 someone how will direct the pack and set a platform for attack, thats why at saints cunningham is much more important even if roby is more exciting. Theres no way woul would stand a chance with higham and roby as hookers, too similar

I will be watching all the games from home but can't ehlp but think it's a bit of a wasted journey. If Great Britain can't turn over the Aussies what chance have the home nations as individual countries? The last world cup was a bit of a joke with no one seriously bwelieving that a British club could hope to win and this one is the same. Next time how about GB competing to make it more of a competition?

because how many of the players in the Ireland, Scotland, and Wales teams would have actually made it into a GB squad, lets face it, the GB team has been disbanded to boast team numbers at the World Cup, so then its at least some sort of competition.

GB team = England team
