Wilkinson / Hernandez?

Question

An English commentator yesterday was blaming much of the English team's downward spiral since 2003, on the fact that JW was injured for most of the time after the last World Cup. Also that England were beaten 36-0 because JW wasn't playing in the first 2 games of the competition.

To me, to heap so much reverence on one player is absolutely ludicrous, and very narrow-minded. England were useless after 2003 because every other player gave nowhere near his all, not because JW wasn't playing. Before JW, Jason Robinson was referred to in the same way sometimes.

In all round play - considering tactics, tackling, kicking (field-play and conversions) , passing, decision-making, just about everything..JW is miles behind Juan Martine Hernandez, who is a true legend. Even with his ability, Argentina would never solely rely on the boots of Contemponi or Hernandez to win games. ENGLAND NEED TO HAVE A PLAN B!!!!

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

british *******.

SA will win.

no need for a plan b, coz when plan a fails.. uve already lost

Answer 2

Hernandez makes Johnny look very ordinary it has to be said, man how good is he ?

As for plan B - I think your mate "pathtotake" has said it all. didn't we see an attempt at plan B in the pool match, when JW was out injured ?

RSA 36 - England 0

The Bokke are going to smack the living cr@p out of the Poms. And you are totally right; to heap so much reverence on one player is absolutely ludicrous, and very narrow-minded.

Answer 3

yeah they definitely gotta stop depending on jw

Answer 4

Agreed

they keep boosting players up and when it all goes **** up they slate them.Yeah jw is one of the main players in the england squad but he does not win the game on his own i too think that others members get pissed off with hearing about jw after all some do as much work as him but has not got the golden boot (even tho they say they don`t mind)

We do this to our footballers,look at beckham,rooney and owen.

I think the media make the game far more difficult for all players  that are constantly in the press.Wonder if other country`s do the same?

damien.

do you not read the stats for jonny wilko how can you say he is an ordinary player,give some credit where its due or is that to hard for you!!!

Jw does bring alot to the squad not just his kicking skills but no matter what happens ppl love to ***** about him.
