Jennings would be a great centre if he could pass or defend.

Another butchered England break.

Stop start half there.
Jennings is one of the top 2/3 best defensive centres in the game.

QLD didn't score a try through him all series and was awesome for Roosters.

It was a poor pass BUT Mansour should have been a metre closer. Morris would have scored.

Btw dropping Tupou and Guerra has definitely solved all of Australia's problems.

Well played, Sheenius.

All I want is a 2nd look at it. They didn't go back and show. My comment was more to see if anyone else had the same feeling.They have 10 replays for everything else FFS.

After they scored the try? It was a play on. They couldn't check it anyway. The only possibility was that Tomkins got the ball, not Inglis, in which case it would have been a turnover on 6th tackle. He was definitely challenging possession.

We lose and it is the selectors fault, pick shit all props and one they do pick plays 20mins and has only played 27 games, meanwhile McGuire is dominating playing for Samoa and Lillyman on holidays. It's either hubris or incompetence.

Who thought it was a good idea to have an NRL ref for the game? He's shite!

Come on England let's not have our usual 2nd half collapse!

Come back next year Gall - all is forgiven.

And Scott and Tamou...

Too many old legs and second raters in this pack..

It was a bollocks call not to have Jacob Lillyman in the squad. He had a quality season, and has been consistently excellent for years.

You can tell the Aussies are over it and just want to cash their paychecks and f**k off on a holiday. These horses are spent. Let's hope the Limeys put them out of their misery.

Oh and it's clear now that the Sheenius has survived this long solely on the abck of the once in a generation genius of Billy Slater and Jonathan Thurston.

Fair enough, I'll go back and re-watch later. Tomkins was down for a bit after the challenge. I thought they'd show it again so I could have another look.

England really started to trouble them when they used interchanging passes in the middle much like NZ did. If they keep that up they'll win comfortably, if they just go one out they'll invite Australia back into it.

Should get Hunt on. He is use to playing in a team with only one other competent player that happens to also be a centre.

Have you seen McGuires games for Samoa? Can't make a 24 man squad with half a dozen missing out injured while plodders like papallii and klemmer make it and thaiday playing prop, it's ridiculous.

Is it just me or is Chris Hill the interchange prop a player who could make it in the NRL. No frills player, straight up the guts, time and time again. Looks a good talent.
