Absolutely. The plethora of right-sided centres available to replace him will see an immediate end to his international career.

Gleeson for England!

think they should give the job to this maguire then he can pick the wigan players ,reading the pie site this is what smiths done .other than thomkin can any wigan fan please tell me who is good enough .answer none.every wire player he picked stood up and did very well even bridge the lads got class and tuff with it .

Name them.

Hock

Got them to the final which is more than most could of done, now had can focus on us which is great.

Yehaa!

Great news for Wires.



Anyhoo why is this O/T

Said months ago that he would quit at the end of the Four Nations.



I'm glad really........now he can concentrate on Warrington full time without morons scrutinising his every move as National coach.



I would wish luck to the next person who gets it.....but they'll need a hell of a lot more than luck to get close to the Aussies in the next 20 years.

I see the pie eaters are chuffed he's gone, the bitterness on there forum to all things Wire is laughable, and apparantley now, no Wire players will be in the international set up again.

Well, me personally, I couldn't give a flying crap what the crust munchers think.



If they want to jack off at the thought of no Wire players being in the next England squad, then that's up to them.



Doesn't matter who is in the squad, they are still light, light years away from the Aussies and will always be.
