    PNG Kumuls Vs England Knights

    Strange thing to say given that 7 of those knights players played for teams in the grand final. Maybe your just getting a bit over exited re the kumuls given you don’t even know all their players

    The 'Thank you Tonga' Thread

    Well done Tonga you were amazing! But just not good enough to overcome the English. I'm sure the Tongan camp are looking over the video and ruing their missed opportunities and mistakes rather than blaming the ref like sad fans in Auckland and Sydney

    Should be playing 1st grade!

    Maybe we should rethink that quote now they have actually played against some first graders and looked less than ordinary

    credit where credit is due

    NZ should be proud of itself for the comp. Crowds have been great, so much noise and Simon Mannering speaking so well about how the Tongan victory is great for the game.

    The Day Tier 2 distinctions officially collapsed

    As a huge fan of the International game. I have watched many tests over the years I know a lot of guys on this board feel the same we have waited many years for a result like this. Scotland pushed the Kiwis last year. PNG ran England close in the 08 WC. Samoa gave NZ a fright in 2013 and now we...

    what changes should england make for the australia match

    I would go Williams and Widdop, I like Hodgson/Clarke in their correct position. Gale has to go though.

    Change the RLWC Qualification Process

    Maybe we could look at their clubs though and reinstate club games between English and Russian/Serbian sides at some level. I know the Serbs have played BARLA a few times, thats the kind of exposure that improves players, similar level (effectively amateur) but the BARLA lads have been coached...

    Change the RLWC Qualification Process

    Its the only way, Heritage players are fine, every sport has/uses them, Just not like Rugby League which abuses it and I agree something needs to be done

    Change the RLWC Qualification Process

    Your not listening to my question. If we Eliminate heritage teams from the qualifying, these nations would come up against similar in Fiji (as you just admitted) who, regardless of how much you bury your head in the sand, would post large scores just like Ireland and Italy have this year or...

    Change the RLWC Qualification Process

    Do we ( i mean we as in the RFL, NRL, RLEF!) offer anything though? serbia have been coached by Lee Crooks I think at one point? but surely an exchange of players with these nations or getting them the chance to attend training with English lower league clubs or Aussie feeder clubs. Anything...

    Change the RLWC Qualification Process

    I think that following the World Cup in 2000 (possibly 95) was the first time we was heritage players en masse, I think I touched on why in the last post. International rugby league has changed so much from the days of just five nations playing worldwide, so in that regard its still in its...

    Change the RLWC Qualification Process

    Was that Wayne Kerr who got in the side? I think he and another lad Gibbons had already been signed by London Skolars before the comp itself. Either way its fantastic they got the opportunity, If you read the bottom of my post you would see I really think there should be a number of...

    What changes should Australia make for the England match

    It doesnt matter, you could select 17 members from this forum and we would struggle I reckon.

    Change the RLWC Qualification Process

    Throwing the towel in would be a real shame but Russia have been at this game for years and have got nowhere, one of the main reasons I think is because they are so insular. I understand it is difficult with regards to visas etc in Russia but back in the days when Ovchinnicov went to wests...

    Change the RLWC Qualification Process

    if countries like Russia or Serbia were more accepting to outside help and coaching and tried look outwardly more than whinging and just playing biff and barge they might get somewhere. I have watched the top Russian club side get 50 points put on them by an English amateur team, that amateur...

    4nations | Australia v England | aami park | sun 2nd nov

    Its not Super League Spud, I think we will find those gaps may be smaller. I go for Catalans, I know Whiteheads strengths. I know he has had an eye catching season, but its not all about scoring tries. People's main concern over the back row was they were dominated in the tackle. Whitehead...

    4nations | Australia v England | aami park | sun 2nd nov

    Will Samoa will be the strongest 4th Nation to date ?

    Yep and just as NZ had Samoa at arms length through the WC. Just as we do to France and Wales ETC. Today was an entertaining game, and I would be bullshitting you If I said I wasn't out of my seat at times. Samoa have pushed us further than any 4th nation has. I hope they keep going through...
