Although the England squad isnt as impressive looking as the Australian squad, i do think there is a decent side in their. The first thing i thought when i saw the squad is that there were no real characters in it i think that is one of the big problems, no Carney, Long, McDermott to help build the team spirit. We just have the monotone charisma lacking ill appointed Australian coach (it makes me feel physically sick everytime i acknowledge that). To make it work i would fit Eastmond and Tomkins in the side at 1 and 7 to add some enthusiasm, dropping Smith who is going to get bullied by all of Inglis, Hodges, Matai and Sau. Replacing him with Ellis with Graham starting and peacock in the 2nd row.
And im sure the other 16 players must have thought the same as me, if Westwood is one of the best 17 English RL players we have no chance.
That game last night was top quality both teams where immense, where going to get a beating against aus next week, they are far far better than any team we could put out, I really hope I'm wrong but somehow I can see. The pace the game was played at would blow us out of the park in the first 20 mins. I just can't wait for the final between them anything like last night and where in for a treat.
