    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugb...ue/7118766.stm

    i am shocked at this one the ozzeys were good but Peacock was by miles better than any one else can some one make heads or tails this one to me as it has baffled me! seams yet once more we bow to the almighty ozzeys who are nothing but right....why can we not stand up to them toe to toe??

    Nay, Cameron Smith has been the form player all season down under. In fact, it was hard not to see any further than him.

    Just a question...how many games have you watched of Smith to judge you think Peacock should win it?
    I'm not writing anything in here because its just a load of b*****ks

    Agreed. Cameron Smith was outstanding all year, it takes someone special to make Danny Buderus look average but that's what he did this year. And he's only just turned 23 IIRC. Big present, bigger future.

    Smith is a worthy winner. Won the Wally Lewis medal in this years State of Origin, captain of Australia and captain of the title winning Melbourne Storm, cant ask for much more!

    i believed that golden boot was for international performances, but i must be wrong a the season is been taken into account as well, internationally Peacock by a mile but taking into account the season then Robz...why not a ozzey because are boys are just as good as the ozzeys the NRL has more clubs to a high standard were as we have 5 clubs to that standard so why do we always hold the ozzeys to this impassableness standard if we do that we will never be good enough belief is the 1st step!

    but we are just as good as them this is the problem! most people thing well we lost last time we lost the time before why even try! that is the wrong attitude to take beacuse are props are better than there's by miles it is there backs that beat us and we are getting better there as well and we do not play as good as them in "patches" we have players that do that week in week out! grayham dose it every week the lad knows on way FORWARD and dose not stop that is one example but if i have to i will name EVREY prop that is better than the ozzeys because we need to stop believing the ozzey press and look at are players look at the games we played ozzeys in there forwards don't beat us that often it is there backs! they wont take us on in a arm wrestle because that know they will losses!

    yes but they have 2 or 3 players that can fill positions very patriotic but every time we get a good player we hype them up and say they are world class eg penny at the wire agree graham is world class and think he is a future gb captain but look at loose forward how many can we say are world class centre's are the same full back apart from wello name some more

    like i said are pack is grate but are backs are not as good BUT leon is good enough, burrow showed through...at a stretch(i am so sorry) McGuire..but we are getting better there. as for other key rolls gleson is holding his own and showed redemption this time round soon as he tasted big games once more personally i blame wire for his state of play, kirk yeaman is out standing lad, Gareth Raynor not put a foot wrong, Gardner has shown through, Shaun Briscoe is not a bad replacement at full back, Paul Cook is another good English talent, Jon Clarke did well in the games playing New Zealand so yea we are relay lacking in players to fill these positions and that is just a few i guess we are all doomed and should bow to Australia to help us as we are that bad!

    i'm not saying were doomed but to put players on a higher level than they actually are is an english problem look at the footballers etc i would love us to go to the world cup next year and wipe the smile off the aussies faces but look at lyon superstar over here average over there we need to bring british players through and let them play at a higher level instead of ageing overseas players gleeson would struggle to get into an aussie team, agree pryce played well and is growing into the no 6 role but when you get past our starting 17 fully fit we struggle

    so when leon last played at 6 when we played ozz we did not dismantle them...OW WAIT! we did wow not bad for a average player! and i reckon we can do it we need to stop thinking of the ozzeys as gods, though i do agree we need to bring the youth through we have LOADS of youth systems i have seen lots of serves area games and the young lads playing there are amazing though all bar one as Shelford's lots are not recommended! as i have had the displeasure of reffing there schools final were was most of the serves area playing across 2 teams and at U16 there was 4 red cards i think for fowl and abusive language

    i'm not saying lyon is an average player but over there they have many players that can play at that standard if we look outside our big four how many lower teams have players that are truly international class ie would get into gb/new zeland/australia team
    i think it's good that you get involved reffing schools finals as the game needs people like yourself to give up there time, as for the kids swearing think it's just a sad part of society that we seem to have a lack of respect for each other now

    yes because his talent justified it, not because the society we live in the first kid with a bit of talent comes along he's the next jason robinson put him on a massive contract and think youv'e already done it
