England also had a much better squad back in 2017 but it wasn't good enough to beat Aussies, I also don't remember Thurston or Ingis even being in the 2017 world cup squad. The likes of Slater, Thurston and Smith all retired from rep football if I remember the following year so where very much at the end of their playing days, of those you named there's only Cordner that is a recent retiree and that's sadly down to concussions more than his age.
England current squad is a much poorer side than the one in 2017 and in comparison to the current Australian squad it really is lacking somewhat so not sure what point you are making. The Aussie team still has quality all through it as it always does, I can't even see England troubling the likes of Tonga, Samoa, PNG etc to be honest..

he was like J Griffin at FC - always saying that this was the season he would buckle down etc

What's your point exactly as Thurston wasn't even in the 2017 world cup squad?
The England squad in 2017 was better than the 2021 squad irrespective of what position players played.unless you think that just by not having Kevin Brown in the squad makes England better than 2017.
Australia has an embarrassment of riches in terms of players to select from and could put two different sides out compared to England whether you like that or not. For me Australia have a much more even and balanced national side than they have had for years and they still have very good players throughout.
We are still someway behind Australia unfortunately.
