I don't understand why, after promoting the game as a serious competition, the English Rugby League then fiddled around with selections instead of picking their best team and going all out to win. Surely that sent sent the message to the English players that it was more of a selection trial.
IMO the only way this thing will work is if the fans know it is going to be a fair dinkum game and not an exhibition match. That would have to start with picking the most competetive English team possible and making this series a priority over club matches. If that can't be done then it won't work.
I would have thought losing that game was worse for English rugby league than any benifits in blooding young players. Surely it is a game England could have won with their best players totally motivated.'"
Jackpot. Can we get you to write a letter to the RFL?
