We should walk it again but if we do tonk them like last year our players are likely to become overconfident in their ability to mix it at international level leading to us having the level of defeat turn around on us against the Kiwis and Aussies.

I'm looking forward more to the record score Australia are going to put on France myself.

Tell me about it. You can tell Australia plan these tournaments. Everything is geared around them getting the best possible preparation for the tournament.

The itinery should have started with:

5pm - Australian plane lands in Paris
5.30pm - France V Australia at venue 28 minutes away from airport

Following day:
5pm - Kiwi plane lands in Manchester
6pm - England V NZ kicks off at Wigan

Start the tournament by handicapping the two biggest teams. The way it's been planned France will probably lose by 60 in all 3 games.

do you really believe that? i think there's certain players that dont get on and the whole thing has gotten blown out of proportion t.b.h

IMO it's the reason Keith Senior, Lee Gilmour and Rob Burrow aren't in the England squad. It's not been overplayed at all.

There was an article before the Grand Final by Jamie Peacock about he and James Graham had met up to try to stop the bad feeling and sort the issues between the camps, for the sake of England.

every match its kicked off, even the GF when i was over wello said something and graham looked like he would take anyone out at the end the two teams are to focused on each other during the season that thwy cant turn it off at the end of the season
