ahahah yes that one victory proves we didn't need the Americans (hint we did)
Also you might want to open up a history book because there was an American company involved in the final Australian victory and the lead general of the Australian forces was an American. You are aware that John Curtin made Douglas Macarthur the head of the Australian armed forces in like 1942 (Who was last I checked an American) and they had entered the PNG campaign in early 1942.
American involvement in world war 2 in the pacific campaign was more important than American involvement in world war 2 in the Western campaign (even though it was still crucial) this is because the Eastern Campaign had damaged Germany so much it was pretty much finished regardless.
EDIT
If it wasn't for the channel Hitler would have probably rolled over England pretty easy at the start of the war. France cops a lot of flak for world war 2 but as was shown in the Eastern campaign the Germans could lose a lot of life. England was in deep trouble without a body of water separating them from the Germans at the start of world war 2. They were also kept a float by FDR and his push to help the allies even with his own congress being against it.
The facts are that Germany lost most of her men fighting the USSR. They managed to kill 10 million Russians more or less during that campaign and lost 5 million. They would have just rolled over England. The USSR had an obscene amount of people to draw an army from, something like a population three times larger than Englands.
And could you imagine if Australia was somehow in Europe connected by land to Germany lol. Giving France a hard time for Germany rolling them is historically ignorant. Germany would have rolled any country in the world it was connected to, besides the USSR (obviously) and the USA.
Blamey was head of the Australian forces at Kokoda, not Macarthur. The Yanks didn't enter the campaign until Milne Bay - the last push of the Japs back into the Pacific. I'm not saying the Yanks weere not crucial to Pacific Victory, just responding to some numbnuts Frog who refuses to listen to English speakers, despite English speakers saving his country TWICE in the last century.

As French supporters are not sectarian (unlike others...), there is scope for both codes and I for one hope we will be a powerhouse in both one day.
Me too. Problem is, it's usually been League under attack from Union. The last Aussie-French test had to be rescheduled to a smaller ground, because the French Union booked the bigger stadium, and did nothing with it. Did so just to confine League to a smaller ground.
Then Toloun sign a contracted player - an illegal act under contract law.
But, of course no Aussie league fan should be pissed off!
