I guess you haven't watched Wigan Warriors and Leeds Rhinos recently to see the young talent coming through there ranks.
You only have to look at the young Pommie (England team) that have travelled down under and beat you (Australia) on your own soil to see we have a bright future you moron!
1. Lee Smith - Dynamic, Aussies could not handle him also besides making numerous breaks he kicked 4 goals and a drop goal.
2. Desi Williams - looked very lively and quick
3. Simon Grix - Defended well and kept the bigger Aussie centres reasonably quiet.
4. Matt Cook - 2 trys, several breaks and looks classy
5. David Doherty - Did everything asked of him and scored a late try, hope he stays in RL, I told him Union is poop anyway
6. Joel Tomkins - Only 17yo he was tough and smashed em'
7. James Coyle - Controlled the game, good kicking game, elusive runs.
13. Karl Ablett - Was the rock of the pack and very influential.
12. Harrison Hansen - Too strong for the Aussies although did drop a few balls, scored a powerful try
11. Jason Golden - unsung hero, got through a mountain of work.
10. James Graham - captained the team magnificently, not as big as the Aussie props but a bigger heart.
9. Jon Gallagher - going great before he wewnt off injured after about 20mins, scored the first try.
8. Luke Stenchion - I'd seen him play before but didn't realise how good he is, superb effort
14. Chris Ashton - unused sub
15. David Allen - all the Aussies around me think he is the next Sculthorpe, fantastic ball runner.
16. Andy Bracek - good go-forward and good ball skills
17. Craig Huby - took it up well, back to his best after injury.
