Just so you can get a gauge of how bad the storm was too...

This was at 5 in daylight!!!

This was at about 6 after the storm passed

The daylight one looks like it's the middle of the night!

 

[roughyedspud]

just seen the number of interchanges...McNamarra fannied about with the team every 15mins..


he should have started with the team thats gonna start against australia next week..and played for a hour like it was australia we where facing.....then mess about for the last 20min..

 

[flamin]

My goodness England! When was the last time one of the big 3 lost to a non-top tier nation?

What a magnificent night of sport.

Faulkner tonking the Subbies all over the shop and Italy embarrassing the mighty mighty Ingerlund.

Surely there must be more NRL players with an English grand parent that the Poms can pick?

 

[roughyedspud]

its not the players...its the coach

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Minichiello > Tomkins

 

[Evil Homer]

its not the players...its the coach

Still disagree with me when I said that England are never going to win a meaningful match against Australia or a full NZ side with McNamara as coach?

 

[roughyedspud]

they don't have a problem beating nz mate

 

[biggestbroncosfan]

and we have clueless australian journalists commenting on something they know nothing about and we get a result like this!! bring on the world cup!!

 

[roughyedspud]

bet they are loving it...


the british press have'nt been too kind either..

 

[CC_Roosters]

Still a big enough story in the national press by league standards, drawing attention to the world cup is a good thing

 

[kiwileaguefan]

In England yes, outside no chance

 

[newman]

its not the players...its the coach

It's the best f**ken team list in a generation. Not the players? Give me a break.

 

[Joker's Wild]

lol oh dear

I really hope the poms treated this game too lightly trying to prevent injuries. It's just embarrassing otherwise

 

[The Voice of Reason!]

my goodness england! When was the last time one of the big 3 lost to a non-top tier nation?

GB lost to PNG in 1996?

 

[s1ng0709]

I think England will put a massive score on here.

James Tedesco at centre....wow. He's going to get steam rolled.

Out of the other italians who are on the bench, who else would u start instead of Tedesco???

 

[Ghipo]

They looked at playing Tedesco at 5/8 which he played at school but I can't recall him ever playing Centre before.
Must have done OK..So much for steam rolling....lol...great work Teddy.
