A Valiant Effort but Just Not Good Enough

[dowdz]

I'd love to see some of the British youngsters take a chance in Australia and get out of the comfort zone that is the ESL . They may be big fish in a small pond there but I'd like to see them put their reputation on the line.

Spot on deluded pom. I think some of them would do really well and it would benefit their game in the long run

I don't agree.

Morley has frequently been overshadowed by other, SL based GB&I forwards in past internationals.

Carney won a Dally M int he NRL, and he's sh*te nowadays.

It's not that simple.

I've said it before, others have said it as well but it bears repeating. Noble's selections were C-R-A-P. Pryce on the wing, Newton in the squad and Roby on the bench instead of starting, Noble hasn't got a clue.

The Poms would still have struggled but there's no need to shoot yourself in the foot before you start.

Picking a first choice goalkicker in the squad may help as well. (Long was 2nd choice at Saints, and when he left we didn't have anyone!!)
