Outstanding.Best game i've seen for a long time.Some of those Kiwi lads are absolute monsters.


Was very impressed with Sau and Waerea-Hargreaves was like a man posessed when he came on.

premier league rules mean s-d all when its not citys ground.

Bit rough on Shenton. Facing Inglis is a nightmare. Should have had Pryce right centre IMO. Can see Ellis being moved there.

TBF Inglis has the ability to make whoever he plays against look silly.

bollox

i know,you do talk it.

City have an agreement to use the stadium. In order to be able to do that they have to comply with Premiership rules. If the SMC decided to ignore that, they would be in breach of contract.

So, no - Premiership rules do NOT mean 'sod all'.

City will have other things to worry bout this week,like there star player drink driving

Who Waggy?

Cracking game of Rugby but id be more worried when we play the Kiwis....for all the pressure the Convicts had in the 1st half they created sod all...ball back inside where they got mullerd everytime...the Kiwis looked more dangerous with ball in hand.

Gotta play ellis at centre I recon, yes they looked good both of them but I have hopes for our boys, I dont see us getting mullered at all , think our forwards are as good if not better than anything they both had to be fair.. and our backs are not that bad... we shall see

Have you been on the lambrini again.


Dont stand a chance against either of those teams if they play with that aggression/ intensity or passion. Something we lack in on the international stage. We dont have the quality of players in depth as they do in the nrl.Maybe its about time we stopped all the aussies and kiwi's coming over and taking up key positions in our game as its stifelling(check spelling) our home grown talent. How many aussies are there over here in super league? How many british player ply there trade in the nrl? We lose say sinfield for example and the who have we got for that position who we can call truely world class?Its a big shame but to be honest i dont think we'll win a tri nations final or ashes series in my life time. I hope i'm wrong

what was the team for the aussies?

Billy Slater
Brett Morris
Jarryd Hayne
Justin Hodges
Greg Inglis 40'
Darren Lockyer
Jonathan Thurston
Ryan Hoffman
Anthony Watmough 31'
Trent Waterhouse
Cameron Smith
Petero Civoniceva 17'
Ben Hannant 19'
Substitues
Kurt Gidley 40'
Sam Thaiday 19'
Paul Gallen 31'
Brett White

suprised there was no hindmarsh.

I am very patriotic and would love England to surprise us all and do the business in this comp but, after this game, I really hope that we have Aus and NZ in the final because I would love to see them knocking ten bells out of each other again. What a great advert for our sport

best game i,ve seen for a while.does anybody know what channel it,s on.sky just said extended highlights of england v aussies.

It's on BBC at 2.10 that's why it's only extended highlights on SKY!

will come back to this after the match my old son... quietly confident here!

not feel confident to give me a reply now. tut tut

bit of a realist myself. Look foreward to it

15 - 8 to England
First try to Crabtree

Aussies to win by 20pts or more. Hope i'm wrong but all the signals seem to be pointing to that

God I hope your wrong, however I have to say , with the likes of Peacock, morley and crabtree playing the best footie fo their lives backed up by Ellis & co i really do think we can win this in the forwards alone!!

prediction for this coming weekend

England to get beat again by 12pts +. Will be a very physical game with a lot of biff this time with morley seeing some red mist again (sin bin)

What do you think?
