No Mick they haven’t. But I can’t see McBanana putting it on his CV though can you?

On the plus side the loss should jog the England players out of their complacency, not that they should have been complacent in the first place.

McBanana was a master at putting sides out that under-performed. You’d think he’d be able to spot the warning signs by now, especially after the super duper preparation in South Africa.

Well it's no surprise that a Steve McNamara coached side have allowed them to break that duck. Terrible coach, terrible manager.

Some of you will have a lot of humble pie to eat when McNamara's England wins the World Cup!

Come on yooooo Eng-er-lund!

FA if you're right I'd tuck in with glee!

I suspect NZ might be a better bet.

It's a long shot but I have a feeling it will be them or Aus.

NZ were 4-1 to win the cup at William Hill's yesterday. Get some dosh on them at those odds I say.

What were Graham, Hardaker and Hock thinking? Four days before the #RLWC2013 opener.

Oh dear, doesn't sound good.

Hock really, is the original loose cannon, that could literally go off at any time. His replacement is Brett Ferres and it's great to see a Bulls player get the call

Agreed. You could put £100 on them and if they make the Final against Aus, let's say Aus will be 1/2 - you can then put £300 on Aus. If NZ win you make £100 profit but if they lose, you make £50. So whichever team wins - you win.

Of course England could pee on your bonfire but for those who exclude England, you can't do much better than something like the above.
