Quote ="KnowsleyRoaders"That was a ferocious game on Saturday and was a rehearsal for the Final. Some of those hits were huge, Adam Blair was a tackling machine and Sia looked pretty good.
Regarding the comment about Rolls Royce's. Its true we will get battered by both the Aussies & Kiwis and it'll all be down to the players not gelling again

It's MORE than that m8y! Down Under have had a 'ptb' ref all year and seeing the ozzies 'jumping off' at the ptb? Never seen em do that in the 30yrs I've been watching our great sport! The people down there wanted it to be more open like in SL afew years ago so their stars get a chance to shine! It really has worked because that game on Saturday was the best game since lastyrs WC Final! SL in comparison has been garbage. Not cause Saints didn't win anything but because it has resorted to cheating, lazy dishonest coaching because Saints & Leeds were running away with things at the top! ok Saints & Leeds still got to the GF but it wasn't through any lack of efforts from the RFL to slow the game down so the likes of Huddersfield & Wakefield could have a go!
Our players are just not going to be used to the speed and skill coming up against em these next two Saturdays! It will be like walking into a 'blow-torch' against Australia! It will be 50+ points! England have to get in the ozzies faces like NZ did and belt them! But we won't because we're not good enough and to frightened about their reputations!
