I'll try and put it as plainly as I can.

My girlfriend is a terrible cook. Last night she 'cooked' a lasagne. She didnt cook the pasta properly and burnt the cheese on top.

Tonight she knocked up a shepherds pie. It was a bit tastier than the lasagne but still needed half a bottle of tomato sauce to make it half palatable.

So whilst it would be fair to say tonights meal could be described as an 'improvement' its also fair to say that she is no Jamie Oliver in the kitchen (although she can sometimes be just as annoying)

I can't see a 'positive' here either.

OK, let me try and put my point forward as equally plain as I can

18 months ago, England were considered the third best team out of the big three, Australia, New Zealand and England

Then we beat New Zealand and got to the final of the 4 Nations

Your cooking story was kind of funny though

So what you are saying is that 18 months ago England were the third best nation out of the 3 that play Rugby league to a half decent standard.

And now, 18 months later they are..........still third best out of 3??


England will occassionally beat NZ. Once in a blue moon they will beat Australia.

But 99% of the time they wont. Unless they get lucky.

Thats why England are still ranked third.

I honestly don't know how to start replying to this

Take that how you will

Good night Barry, sleep well
