Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

I honestly think Bennett has given up the ghost with this tour and for the team to play like they have, it’s a disgrace to the shirt and if he had anything about him he’d resign on the spot.

I blame the coach more than the players. I felt a bit sorry for Hastings, who tried hard, and did after all create our only decent scoring chance; Hodgson's try was a fluke.

I wonder if Williams, or even Trueman, will get a game against the Kumuls.

How can Wayne Bennett possibly risk defeat against the Kumuls by playing Jacob Trueman?

There is literally no reason to play centres in this side. As soon as the ball gets wide, it stops with Bateman and Whitehead. Now, I know they have had great season's but there is such a bias in the way we play in giving the ball to the NRL players. Graham just gets in the way and restricts space for Lomax and Hastings who at least inject some pace into the attack.

Today's game was almost like watching jelly set as it was that boring

We've tried to copy the NRL style to beat the Aussies and Kiwis and it's not been a massive success has it?

I want an English coach to get the Englang/GB job and who will play to our strengths rather than the oppositions strengths whereby we come off 2nd best the majority of games

Our forwards can hold their own but sadly our backs are light years away from testing the best sides at present unfortunately

He's risked everything else with players out of position because of is inept squad selection. Moto is right in what he said.

Where is the crowd?

I was there in march for the manly v warriors game.... About 12k that day.... Felt like less yesterday. There is the england cricket tour on here at the moment and U2 were in auckland this weekend as well, so the game was a tough sell and there's been little if any hype other than on NZ Sky.
Even the tongan game in hamilton, an hours drive from south auckland was badly attended..... It has been an awful tour in most respects with a handful of touring fans

He actually lives in New Zealand. That is why he has so little understanding of northern hemisphere rugby league, especially rugby league in France and Canada.
