Every kick from Australia they have a blocker stopping the chase down. Every kick from England, Australia block or put a late hit on the kicker. Every tackle Australia flop on.

But yeah, clearly best ref for the job.

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.

Agree. Josh Papalii is, lets be fair dinks, only get picked as payback for his loyalty to do the Benedict Arnold on New Zealand. He hasn't been rep quality for 18 months.

 

[DC_fan]

We are missing Billy Slater big time

 

[blaza88z]

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.

he'll bring him on with 10 to go when we're down by 20

 

[Bovrick]

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.

Maybe usual, but Watkins made him look pathetic (though DCEs poor read did mean Tomkins could isolate him). Not as bad as Mansour's effort in that play, but it looks to me like England have plenty of potential on both edges today.

 

[Iafeta]

Sheens to DCE.

You're prop second half champ.

We need a funny button for this. Totally agree. Tom Shines has been irrelevant for years.

 

[Son of Minto]

He hasn't been rep quality for 18 months.

Unfair. He was good last year for Australia. Hasnt been rep quality since Ricky started coaching him.

 

[Frederick]

Inglis+Mansour+Walker+Mata'utia = 0 tackle breaks.

Jennings = 7 tackle breaks

:lol:

 

[Walt Flanigan]

We are missing Billy Slater big time

Or just any fullback who gives one fifth of a f*ck.

 

[ram raid]

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.

DCE's form has been absolute garbage in the last month. So has Cronk's and Smith has been pretty useless as well. Might be time to bring in some new blood. Hopefully Adam Reynolds.

 

[THE CHAMP]

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.

picking lillyman would have exceeded the qld quota selections
had to be left out.
nsw dominated team getting owned atm.
cronk needs to take on the line this half
there are gaps through the middle

 

[Son of Minto]

Hopefully Adam Reynolds.

:lol::lol::lol:

 

[Perth Red]

Good english turn out in the crowd.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Inglis+Mansour+Walker+Mata'utia = 0 tackle breaks.

Jennings = 7 tackle breaks

:lol:

Which means Jennings will be dropped for the next test with the other four retained!

Exactly

 

[MrAnonymous]

Mansour is a shadow of the player he was with his beard

 

[Wizardman]

Next try scorer will be huge!!!! This England team has a different feel to past outfits...they'll go on with the job if they score next.

On another note, I'd love Joel Tomkins and Sargison to play here.

#Sheenius

There's no doubt Jennings will be dropped after this performance. Sheens will think he is not creating enough opportunities for the Newcastle rookie.

too good :lol:

Yet it's the QLDer's turning in the most insipid performances. They're playing like a bunch of sooks. like they miss their mates.
