I'm going leftfield but for me England's best player is Launchbury,real class!

Not bizarre at all, especially as he also has plenty of medals in the cabinet to back it up.h's dad wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2018 11:07 pmI'm not an expert but I'm sure not all the contenders for best player are qualified for Lions and England and not all would be prepared to move to Saracens for various reasons.BFG wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2018 9:00 pmNothing bizarre about it, unless you think that they are all wrong including the Lions, England and Saracens!
Farrell successfully plays 10 and 12 at all levels and kicks goals under pressure better than anyone, he is a leader and a winner, back to back Champions Cup winner etc.
It's who IS the best player, and not who talks a good game and could be!
Sound logic equally applicable to the 2015 World Cup. Didn't see Farrell on the teamsheet.
Farrell may be a serious contender for top English player, but best in the world? Yes, bizarre.
It's best player, not best potential talents, surely winning and the part played in it is important.

Written by someone who displays normal observations and personality that wouldn't be out of a place at a wake, I do find the irony of your post rather obvious.

He's not even England's best lock (although I concede he is ripping up trees for Wasps at present).Rugbyflanker wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2018 11:11 pm I'm going leftfield but for me England's best player is Launchbury,real class!

Not at all. The wit of many posters on here can make me laugh out loud. Most of them, unlike yourself, with that intent.
Oh, and the last eulogy I gave cracked up the whole congregation, including the widow. I will admit that was probably a one off.
I am neither clever enough to understand nor stupid enough to play this game

I'm almost certain you missed my point. still, my hopes weren't high.h's dad wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2018 1:55 pmNot at all. The wit of many posters on here can make me laugh out loud. Most of them, unlike yourself, with that intent.

We've all observed that your hopes aren't high. You talk of irony yet the irony visible on every post you make continues to elude you. More comatose than unconscious.Roly wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2018 3:10 pmI'm almost certain you missed my point. still, my hopes weren't high.

I'm with BFG on this one, Farrell is not a bizarre option at all. Sure, you can make arguments for other players - after all, it is only opinion - but for me Farrell is right up there. The 2015 WC was more than 2 years ago, so it wouldn't really be a good guide as to who is the best player right now.
