[watching Mackay testing the curry in the prison kitchens] Fletcher: Course, he sees 'imself as an authority on curry, he does, on account of where he was stationed in the army. Rudge: Where? India? Fletcher: No, Bradford.
I'm probably of a different view here. I think we need to produce more half backs who are cocky gits. All of GB's best in my lifetime have seemed incredibly 'self assured' - Gregory, Edwards, Goulding and Schofield were never short of self belief. If we're ever going to beat Australia we need halfbacks who aren't fazed by the opposition and who believe the team is 'theirs' when on the field.
Even if they're not actually that great as players, I really don't have a problem with players swaggering about - we need more characters in the game IMO, sometimes SL seems very sanitised from that perspective. There's nothing wrong with cartoon baddies - see a certain Mr Bailey as a prime example. Every club should have one.
Cocky or not, Dorothy Gayle isn’t in the same class as the aforementioned half backs of yore.

Swagger & attitude are all well & good but at some point you have to back it up in a big game/final otherwise it's just wind & p!$h ala Brough.

I can see your point. Shame he wasn't playing in the world cup.....oh wait

yep those mentioned were ripping it up as teenagers, Schofield was golden boot, man of steel, top try scorer, well on his way to all time Gb caps, ripping it up in ARL, whilst gale was still playing in championship.
