It was quite emotional at the end of todays game seeing him in tears and being carried around shoulder high by the other players.

Great ambassador for his country and also for Rugby League.

What do you mean what for ? . The best rugby we've seen in this tornament has been from the likes of PNG ,Fiji ,Samoa. These countries would get even stronger with teams from these nations with the expantion of the NRL.

Maybe we should put an England team in the NRL then



Well done to Stan by the way, he had a great tournament.

It isnt a million miles away from what some pundits are saying about sending some of our players to play in there comp anyway.

Couldnt give a fook about international rugby,my concern is only for Hull fc.

Interesting avatar you've got there.

And there lies the attitude to international Rugby.

That was before this shower of $hit started,always give you hope do GB/England but fck all changes.

Well done England on reaching the semi-final of the world cup. What a fantastic achievment playing fast open, exciting rugby the trophy is withing touching distance



































If your an aussie, we have been the biggest pile of e in it

Your not serious , are you ?

After watching the P.N.G. display i think all the super league club's should re-negotiate the players contract's and pay them what they are really worth and not what the player's think they are worth.We are kidded into thinking we are watching the best till they play on the world stage and then we realise that we are a fourth rate team.What a showing up being up-staged by P.N.G. and the south sea island teams.No wonder Aussie,s like to come here when they are finished and spend a couple of years topping their pension fund's up in our inferior game.Lets get back to basic's and stop kidding ourselves,we have too many foreign players when we should be persevering with English kid's.If only our superstars could have played with as much heart as Stanley and his boy's.

Top bloke is Stan and a fine ambasador of the game. Always thought he would carry on until he was at least 95 though.......Next year

Its because in the league they dont have to, they can get away with their lack of guile due to them playing in teams that are always on the front foot in Leeds and Saints.

Speed not creativity is the key in SL.

Been saying the same for ages. Leeds and Saints are flat track bullies and dont need any clever moves to open up defences so they just dont use them.

we have seen 3 games now what would be your team be for saturday to play the kiwis again ,i think i would go with

smith
calderwood
pryce
senior
gardner
gleeson
burrow
morley
higham
peacock
jamie jones
ellis
purdam

subs roby ,wilkin,grayham,sinfield

i would put pryce in at centre ,due to his size ,and gleeson at off half ,i thought he had a decent game ,you could change it round if not working
i think roby and wilkin come off the bench better ,both great impact players and grayham can spell our front row ,i would leave wellens out
also i think he is past it at this level ,senior is as well but theres no one else tbh, whats your thoughts

james
cole
woody
ferdinand
richards
cole
gerrard
barry
beckham
rooney
defoe

ive got a job thanks

and whats the rolling eyes for

sinfield on the bench?! ouch!!! get him on there!

what team did smith coach club level and who did he coach at that time

To counter your arguement slightly, Then why doesn't the other teams who play with a less go forward still struggle to produce the guile needed to unlock strong defences.

Smith
Calderwood
Ellis
Gleeson
Gardener
Pryce
Burrow
Graham
Higham
Peacock
Hock
JJB
Purdam

Roby
Morley
