The fans, the members, the people there.. from the day I stepped foot onto that field at the AJ Bell Stadium,I knew I would love that club for the rest of my life. "Jackson Hastings"..



Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.

As always with England we may compete with them in the forwards but we can never compete in the backs. Our halves will never compete against the Aussies IMO.

Not quite the same team. We are adding Roby, Chase, Heightington, Widdop, Ellis, Reed and Brough to it.

FYI Reed was selected in Big League Week (I think) as one of the top two centres in the NRL this year.

Australia look strong enough in most areas, but if Inglis is unfit they look a bit weak in the centres (still good players but not the very best). Having said that, I doubt we'll beat them. What I want to see is us being competitive for a full 80 minutes, not hanging in there for 60 minutes then falling apart.

:lol:

I don't think so, Australia to beat the Kiwis in the final by a few.

I wouldn't mind if England won either as long as its a good game and the best team on the day wins.
Its only a game at the end of the day, this should be England's best chance in ages.
Locky is a shadow of himself, weak in the Centres, big chance for England but somehow I doubt they will take it, they crap themselves in the big games and when defences don't just open up they run out of ideas.

In the last couple of years the thing that always seems noticeable about England's game is..
Really poor kicking game.
Poor team selections with players out of their usual positions.
Inability to read attacking moves and defend against simple plays.
Last but not least, really poor general skills whether that is passing in either direction or even catching the ball, some games has seen mistakes that School kids would not make.

Not a bad result for Australia that both the Stewarts are out.
It brings in a Second Rower that is as good at centre (Scott) and a dedicated Centre in Tonga.
Better balance all round.
