Come on boys!!!!

WTF GALE

Luke Gale you absolute lover. Not good enough for England. Second tackle. Wtf!!!!

What the feck Gale!!

Why the hell would Gale kick that FFS. And not even a good kick!

why oh why oh why oh why.
Just not good enough, we should have scored twice in this game, chance to make history and we blew it,
Stout defence and a great effort but simply didn't execute and panicked far too often

6-0 is a wounding scoreline

Great defence from England but lack of creativity and errors when in posession cost England in the end.

Oh my fecking god, PASS THE FECKING BALL! it was there

Great effort lads, but too many errors

If I had a cat I'd drop kick the fecker into the canal round about now.

Well those 2 kickable penalties in the first half and the one for offside in the second, could have made it 6-6.

What might have been.

What an effort from the lads.

All our forwards take a bow, Gale and Brown when it came to it simply weren't good enough, Burgess showed again what we all know he'll drop it too often.
Put SoL in that match and we win, put Taylor and Tomkins in there and we win not quite at a canter but that's as good a chance as we'll get but we now know we can beat them but not with Gale and Brown

Lack of attacking intelligence cost us. Zak Hardaker has a lot to answer for. Gale had a great game, but his decision making in the Aussie 20 was way off the required standard.
But it was a great game, and a great way to end the tournament.

Absolutely amazing performance from everyone, defence and effort was outstanding. Problem was our decision-making on Australia's line, and error rate. Poor.

And yet again, more proof why NEUTRAL REFEREES are a must. He hammered us all game. I've said it many times, even if they try to be neutral, unconscious bias is impossible to avoid. Swing the possession he handed to Australia back to us and we're in that game.

Sort it out RLIF, fookin joke.

Well done lads, tough outcome.

Also, too many home decisions by Sutton, not a great deal but in a 6-0 match that's the difference

Not seen England defend like that...ever. Would you keep Bennett on and build over 4 years for the next one? Build around George Williams at 6 IMHO

We're 1 good halfback (and a fit SO'L) away from beating them.
Really need somebody better than Gale/Brown to partner Widdop,and then hopefully Tomkins getting back to his best or Shaul massively improving his link up play.
I think Williams needs to be in this team.

JG absolutely distraught, he, walmsley and Hill put in a ridiculous shift.
The left centre again proving to not work, a few changes and we win

Brilliant effort! Lots to build on. If we were at home we'd have snuck the win.

Havent been convinced with Bennett but got to give him his due his tactics were spot on today just the execution let us down. I'd offer him another 2 years and continue to build.

Don't think Bennet will continue but if he did he should have Powell as assistant over Betts. The lack of points was always a worry pre match.

NO, ultimately he made decisions re personnel and the style of play and it didn't work.
We won't get better with respect to the way we played as SoL, Graham, Hill and others won't be there in 4 years time.
We need to rethink things.

Great performance.

England were immense and the players should be proud of their efforts. We were arguably the better side and had more opportunities to score - we just couldn't take any of the chances we had.

That was an epic game worthy of being a world cup final.
