Anyone who thought we had a chance is an idiot, the Super League is worse than it was 5-10-15 years ago when we couldn't win.

There's no Sam Burgess or James Graham in this pack.

The Leeds/St Helens teams of the 2010s absolutely thump Hull KR who won it this year.
Oh well, suck shit

Rugby league is a dying game in England, half the league don't even get 9,000 average attendance.

All the big clubs get less fans than they did 10 years ago, even the grand final now has swathes of empty seats.

Compare the atmosphere at this game to the previous Aussie visits, it's dead, the NRL was ahead 10 years ago the gap has only widened the Super League has gone backwards in terms of professionalism the only league in the world where the facilities get worse.

The future 4 nations will be Aus, NZ, Tonga and Samoa, it's not worth the travel coming over for a formality for a series like this.

when you have plodders like KPP and Bateman in the team failure is pretty much guaranteed.
I feel like England could have been more competitive if they found a way to bring Welsby into the game. To me it felt like they relied too much on the NRL contingent in their squad. Their middles got trashed and didn't get the help they needed.
