wasnt it Elis's fault for gving away the penalty which resulted in calderwood making his one mistake

'"

For what its worth i thought he was tackled in the air so was under some pressure

'"

Yes, and we punished them for it

Unlike Slater who was unopposed

In what way?we never score in the 2nd half,

light years behind as usual

cant believe eddie and stevo were arguing between themselves during the commentary when they shouldve been focusing what was goin on on the pitch. i thought i was sat in a pub listening to 2 blokes havin a beer infested spat at each other.

roll on february and we'll be able to listen to the same 2 clowns spouting on at how good super league is backed up with the usual braindead quotes of "wait until the world cup 2013 blah blah blah, that was sensational from wellens, seniors still one of the best in the world, man of steel graham showin super league why he won the award, sinfield makes this leeds team tick, wilkins the fastest forward in pooper league"

eddie even said we should get rid of all the overseas players, at least most of them give us some entertainment while theyre playing here!!

What a fooking joke, half the s can't even muster up enough energy to sing the National anthem so how can we expect them to compete for 80 mins on a rugby pitch.

Too many players have gone over there for a holiday and don't have the slightest interest in playing competative RL.

AUSSIES WENT SLEEP FOR A WHILE THERE

Well said, and can eddie,stevo and phil clarke get their tongues any further up the aussie's backside

thank f**k we wernt playing fiji



todays drubbing makes the PNG result look about right

aus will put 70-80 on PNG next week

Wish we'd had Warren and Sterlo commentating, sure Eddie and Stevo were pi$$ed

Horne and Thorman obviously. Horne at least is strong defensively and neither could be less effective in attack than what was on show today.

we take 4 props to a world cup, of which two are in the twilight of their careers, one who thinks hes gunna be the bionic man yet the aussies & png found it relatively easy to deal with him and another who should be playin for samoa.

surely out of all the guys playing the game in the uk we can find a few more coming up through the "system"?

morley 31
peacock 30
graham 21
forget fasavalu

who else is there? burgess? he wouldve got his face ripped off today
carvell? always injured. fielden, long gone
i cant think of anymore so the rest must be kelt.

The result today summed up the difference between Super League and NRL, what more is they to say?

Our English forwards were litle short of a complete embarrassment. Peacock was battered from start to finish, and Graham just didn't look physically strong enough to go bruising against the Aussies.

Kicking game was crap. They was a brief 10 minute period when we had them rattled, but Tony Archer was quick to bring them back into the game with a penalty. He made countless judging mistakes, a serious knock on at the start of the game, and every 50/50 decision went against us.

Forgetting about the referee for a moment however, Australia were far superior. Today's humiliation is the final straw for the game in the north.

Eddie, Stevo and Phil Clarke must face the axe to say the least, but the RFL have well and truly had their s handed to them!

Take a bow Billy Slater and Greg Inglis!

but eddie.stevo.phil . did not play

but eddie.stevo.phil . did not play

This is what the Aussies think of us.

there was no aggression in England's defense TBH i was expecting england to give it there all, give the Aussies a game, as Eddie said in the commentary "we will get to the final against the Aussies" but really i dont think we'll beat new Zealand on them performances, a huge step up is needed IMO.

England were missing three critical components today:

Briscoe
Fox
Cooke

didnt think i saw him in the cheerleader line up

Same old story -yet again!!

The centres jumping out of the line,making poor decisions in defence,
leaving the winger with a 2 to 1 overlap every time.

The centres should be doing a man marking job.

Poor indiscipline, -giving more possession to Australia, time and time again.

Poor kicking game.

Wellens has no pace.

Gleeson's defence is shocking

Calderwood - at least he made 4 tackles on the spin.

Next week's game is a dead rubber.

I'd play

1.Smith
2 Gardner
3.Purdham
4.Sykes
5.Calderwood
6.Sinfield
7.Burrows
8.Morley
9.Higham
10,Graham
11Jones-Buchanan
12.Wilkin
13.Ellis
