not when the players dont turn up, and we've all seen that happen.every team in sl this season has had a stinker at some unfancied team and come a crocker and it didnt make their coach bad did it

seriously, how much do the players need to be motivated by a coach at international level.apart from a basic game plan and use of subs its in the players hands when they cross the whitewash.theyre up for it or they arent

Think we'll beat the Kiwis in morning...

NZ 16 Eng 26...

1st try B.Marshall...

Big Sam to have a stormer!

Got up on my day off and after the first 10 minutes I thought its going to get bad but credit to the lads, they put up a fight.

IMO Browns try would of turned the game on its head and maybe we would of gone on to win it.

Graham never stops all game, a great captains performance this morning. Shenton showed why St.Helens have signed him and on a Hull point of view Tom had a quiet game, did what he had to do but next week is a must win.

Oh and how good are the centenary shirts??

No chance of that now, must have jinxed him.

Can you tip 6 or 7 of the aussie squad next please?

Having watched the game Australia game this morning I dont know who had the more physical game, PNG smashed the Aussies up.

They certainly did. Where they get their spirit from God only knows.

Every man from 1-13 + subs tackled like hell and the Aussies felt it.

Must be summat they make.

my predictions

EEEEEENNNNNNNGGGGGGGGLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNDDDDDDDDD Lol!!
