    Sinfield was pretty gun tbf and would've been there for many years but given Australia's lack of loyalty to backrowers he wouldn't anymore.

    Beside the point. He's shown he can.

    If the point was that the position should go to someone who primarily plays dummy half then no it wasn't beside the point.

    "Doesn't do now either."

    What are you basing that on?

    Cannot believe neither games this week are being shown on nine. Bastards.

    a) He doesn't play dummy half, primarily he covers the halves more than he does dummy half and;

    b) He's yet to even play dummy half in the four nations.

    He definitely came on as a dummy half.

    Pretty sure he played lock for the majority of the game and went into the halves when Lockyer went off. Might of jumped into dummy half for 5 or 10 minutes I can't recall the game totally but fairly sure he was at lock for the majority of the game.

    It doesn't matter who he was subbed for, or for what position, he definitely played as a hooker the majority of the time.

    What? He wasn't playing hooker for the majority of his time out there. He might of jumped in there once or twice but he was definitely at lock playing like a 3rd half in the middle third.

    Yes, but you said "doesn't do now" as if he used to. Seems to me like you were implying that up until this game (I agree with you and disagree with Alec that Cronk played more as an extra half/lock rather than a dummy half) he played primarily as a hooker. My point is that one game doesn't change that.

    More that I think he has the potential to become a genuine option at hooker if he was to continue playing their at rep level, although it's unlikely with Lockyer's retirement now and that the role wouldn't require Tomkins to play dummy half.

    I'm not surprised that you lost, but I am surprised about how little you offered in attack...I expected it to be much closer.

    I have probably seen more grubby and dirty tactics so far in this tournament then i did from every team in the entire 2011 season, just from the kiwis team alone. So happy the pommies beat them.
