Lets be honest the Aussie will be ting themselves at the prospect of playing against Morley in his own country. Mind you Gaz Ellis has taught Australians a thing or two about rugby league as well since he’s been over they. Just ask his West Tigers team mate Benji Marshall

England will not win - and I will happily donate that to anyone who wishes to use it in their sig

IF ENGLAND WIN I WILL EAT MY OWN EAR.

You only have one ear? Have you lost a similar bet in the past?

your knowledge of sydney geography is as good as the standard of RL in england.

you meant oxford st dunce

yeah every australian RL fan is fearing australia losing?

btw, when does the 4 Nations start?

The Aussie backs will decimate us if the forwards provide a medicore platform. If the Aussie forward packs do better than this, then expect a 30 plus beating.

Hey, I'd rather watch that then mistake riddled footy and the inability in defense to read a simple second man play.

Nice one

Get an intimidating crowd and the ockers won't know what's hit them. Smash the fookers all over the park. And boo their national anthem. Oh, and get those stars off our flag.

Thee needs an Uncle jaw's mintball to carm thee down a bit lad

Tha needs a new joke.

maurice obviously doesn't like Tony Smith or some of the England players, so he's doing some groundwork before he has his rant after the tournament.

Its a tactic which comes out every year, somebody predicts success and then afterwards comes on complaining, with the argument "we SHOULD have beaten them if only we had the RIGHT coach who gave the players BELIEF and picked the RIGHT TEAM"

I predict England will not win for one very simple reason.

The team/squad/players are not good enough.

What a sad indictment of the "development" schemes in this country.

The people I feel for most are the ones who give their all free of charge in all weathers and poor facilities.

But hey bring another oceanic over the game will benefit in this country

I would just bring Carvell in on the bench, and Tomkins in for Myler. Thats
it!

All this Eastmond at 1 or 3, the aussies will bomb him to death to expose his lack of height.

Ellis at centre just smacks of blind panic,which the aussies will love. For years we have seen players played out of their usual club positions...and
it never works.

Give Inglis space and he will make a fool of anyone, he even murdered a
player of the calibre of jamie lyon in last years state of origin!

I predict Australia will probably win but not a thrashing as most think, I think 16 - 20 points, from what is being said by some down under as their best backline for 100 years. Well if that was the case on Saturday, pah...

We will lose by at least 20 in the end. I just hope we can start well and at least make it a real game for a while.

I agree we must play players in thier club positions & only shuffel during the game for injuries. If our or whatever are not good enough then hard luck but at least let them have a go they wont get better by sitting in the stands watching another out of position in thier place.
For my thoughts we can beat them by playing our game not by worrying about how they will play.I just want them to give evry thing they have if it is not good enough then so be it but at least dont die wondering.

Here here

you think 16-20 in international RL between the "top 3" is not a thrashing???????

fwiw i think our second row and props (inc 1 sub) are the best in the world...tis the other 12 that are the problem...

If our pack can get on top early and stay on top then we have stand half a chance. We must pressure them and work our balls off to make sure their backline has no space.

Keeping our cool will be vital though if the going gets tough, Ganson is refereeing and NZ got the Aussies in a battle and they lost their heads a little. If we can get them into a battle with Morley, Graham, Peacock and co but do it smartly then field position and chances may come about.

Gallen, Hayne and Watmough are all a bit tempremental and will give penalties away if niggled. Get into their faces, get our pack on top and see what happens.

What a load of nonesense. The game in Australia is massive, equivalent to Premier League Soccer over here. There are 10 times as many players to pick from for the Aussie national team. It's got nothing to do with poor administration or anything of the other poor excuses that get trotted out. This is David versus Galiath and England will always be underdogs as long as our talent pool is so small.

The RFL is taking action to increase the size of the talent pool as evidenced by the expansion of the game throughout the country and focus on appointing development officers, gaining Sport England money, the summer conference etc.

England by 6. Sam Tomkins last minute try, going around Lockyer like he isn't even there then side-stepping Billy Slater making him look like a poor man's Paul Wellens to stroll in under the sticks infront of the South Stand.
