Seen as though it starts at weekend, il kick things off.
Australia won't win it. My heart says England but my head say's New Zealand.
Top try scorer, Manu 'the beast' Vatuvei.
Top point scorer, Gareth Widdup.
I also think the Aussies will brick it playing against Sam tomkins.

Judging by the squads, I'd say that NZ would win it, however, with a few 'unusual' faces in the Australia side who don't usually get their chance (they're in now due to injuries), you may see some great performances from them as they try to stake a claim for their shirt.
Will be close, imo.
The morale of the England side is a good thing, and despite the losses of Peacock and Morley - massive on and off the field - I think our pack is very good, but like others I just can't help worrying about the fact that all of our hopes rest on Sam Tomkins' shoulders.

| I'm with you on NZ winning it and The Beast taking home top try scorer.
Shaun Kenny-Dowell is a good bet for top try scorer as well I reckon.

Winners : Australia
Top Try Scorer : Slater
Top Point Scorer : Marshall
Player of the Comp : Cronk
I think New Zealand will win the group but Australia will get revenge for the 2008 world cup final.
My hopes for England are to be competitive.

I predict that NZ will smash us looking at their line up. Australia are severely weakened nad NZ might just win the whole thing.
I hope we can compete but I don't think we have the halves and backs to match Aus and NZ although out forwards should go well.

Never in doubt for me, even more so when Hall pulled out injured. |

Still a very good side but those backs are nowhere near as scary as they might have been. |

It just shows you the massive strength in depth the Aussies have, when Sheens can leave out Darius Boyd from a team.
I think we will be lucky to get within 20 of NZ on Saturday. They have the best team on paper, and I reckon they will go on to beat the Aussies in the final.

Aussies I think will win it against New Zealand in the final, England will manage one win against Papau New Guinea.
Top try scorer : Brett Morris
Top point scorer : Benji Marshall

I would be surprised if we get a win in any of them. The Aussies and Kiwis will be looking to play a few fringe players against us.
Winners - Aussies
Top Try scorer - Manu Vatuvei NZ |

Unfortunately I can see nothing but defeats to New Zealand and Australia and a scraped win over PNG.

i think comments being aired out here by big names like "England are toothless without Peacock and Morley" may just have an effect on the lads upfront !!

england to lose to nz,surprisingly beat the aussies n edge a fired up png.but dont make the final on points difference.
i do think we can beat this decimated aussie team even if they have good replacments.
think benji will lead nz to a win over us though n we need a big start to prevent a mullering.still doing us 6-10 at bookies though,with a few £s on nz 16-20

Like all good englishmen we like to blame the coach in every sport...4 me i think thats harsh..the players have to be responsable for the outcome as well as the coach.. |

The coach had the pick of every English player out there so ultimately the vast amount of responsibility is on his shoulders. |
