Yer but that don't stop Standee does it?

So is WELLENS,GRAHAM,MAURIE,SENIOR,PRYCE,

Better than several others on display today - only made one mistake, imposed himself in defence and never got an opportunity with ball in hand.

You forgot McGuire

Only Gleeson,Calderwood,Peacock,Morley and Roby have done anything.

What a sack of utter f'cking $hite.

Embarassing to say the least, we'll most probably end up playing them once again in the semi final in Brisbane too which is worrying.

Shocking display.

Big improvements needed.

Well, was we expecting anything else, its the same team, and were going to make the same excuses every yeat for them.

Wellens should be replaced by Shaun Briscoe in internationals. Peter Fox is a better winger than Ade Gardner, and if we want the real Ade Gardner in and England shirt, lets get Matt Gildey or Jamie Lyon inside him!

Keith Senior and Martin Gleeson, non existant as were the forwards. The only silver lining for me was James Roby, was outstanding in the first half.

I cant even write how much went wrong today for me.

Australia could have 2 international sides, and thats because they give the people in form chances, like Inglis Folau etc, we have players good enough to be internationals, in form like Fox and Briscoe and probably a few others, but they dont get the chance because we go with the tried tested and FAILED everytime.

Until we change the side, the outcome will be the same!

Sorry but many probably won't agree but on the back end of Yeamo's season.

He should of replaced Gleeson.

Time for Gleeson to hang up his boots along with a few others.

Its like Garry Schofield said once - its harder to lose your place in the England/GB team than it is to get selected in the first place.

Gleeson should have played ahead of Senior and boy does this country need some half backs.

It would certainly seem correct, the squad that played today wont be that different from 4-5 years ago i bet. In comparison to the Aussy or NZ side who have new faces in every year!

At the end of the day, it needs massive changes. Fly fox and briscoe out now. Cause they need something doing.

hit the nail on the head



i've seen youth teams play with more organisation , totally clueless

AND BREAK THE RULES

Yea, were gonna need to.

Much as i like Yeaman, the fact that we are talking about him as a possible international shows how weak our game is.

Lets face it, the worst the could do is boot us out of the competition and after this morning they'd be doing us a favour.

No team in there right mind breaks the rules by bringing players into a squad after the registration deadlines

I dont think the half backs are that bad, lets not forget the forwards were non existant today, half backs canot play with a beaten pack.

It comes as no suprise to me and many others, we are not good enough and I do not think we will ever be. We have had years of picking the wrong players and a whole raft of other built in excuses, face we are crap. Lets not forget that was not even the Aussie first team of choice and its a good job it was not or the score could have been 80 or 90.

Our game is dominated by the domestic scene and if we could restrict the oversea's content we could have at least tried to keep up. There is no way the laws of this country or the EEC will permit a it and the chairman of the SL clubs will continue to pay big bucks to Aussies stars.

Its time to consider the international rugby league and its benefit to the game. I like it and have always supported it, but I question the wisdom of investing money constantly into a system that is clearly failing.

I hope we do not reach the final, I really do



International RL against the Aussies is now dead and buried

He set the ball rolling for Aus, he had a simple high ball to take with little pressure and made a right c**k up of it. The only major thing he had to do all game, you can rave about his good marker tackles but when it came down to one key area you need your winger to be solid in, he messed up!

Too right, if Burrows and Price are out, who do we have?it'll be McGuire and Roby, which is an embarrassment to our game in general, we really are poor at developing youth, too much spent and invested in overseas players,

Wrong as usual. It was the Ellis penalty that set them on their way. Slater's error under the high ball on 46 minutes was far worse.

Slater dropped a high ball, so what?the daft penalty just before that started the ball rolling
