You sound a bit rubbed up, by a few poms happy to smug us... and they won so they are fully in the right to smug, let smugs get smugWorld Cup Champions....not sure why they call it that when only two nations compete, but yeah, they won, congratulations to them.
I think we did ok considering it's played in our preason with 6 of our premiership winning team missing. The boys did well to bring it back from 10 - 0 to 12 - 12 and only get beaten by 1 point.
Let's put things in perspective for one minute. The Poms are cheering they are the best in the "world". Didn't Australia just win the real World Cup? Did England play in final? They didn't even play Australia or New Zealand at any time in the comp and still couldn't make the final.
It is fact that English players come and play in NRL to lift their game to next level and Australians play in the English League when they can't get a contract in NRL or are ageing and at the end of their careers to put some $$ in the bank for retirement.
That game is done and as I said, congratulations the them, I'm sure they will continue to bask in their tittle of "World Cup Champions" for some time.
Us on the other hand prepare for war, going into battle in the toughest and most elite Rugby League competition in the world. I for one am excited to see what is ahead for us even with our so called "weakened team" this year.
Never lose sight of the end prize.
Let's go Panthers
No not really, I congratulated them twice in my post. They won, we lost, it is what it is. I'm just excited the NRL comp is almost here, can't wait.
Let them get smug, we'll knockem down a peg or 2 next WCC
