I get the feeling Bennett is aware of the criticism of him and is trying to get himself fired. Also wouldn't surprise me if that fool Sinfield has already renewed Bennett's deal and just hasn't announced it. Picking the same squad, when you've got players there who have trained all tour and not played and given the performance of those players throughout the series, is just ridiculous.
Calling up Ash Handley then not playing him in favour of Blake Austin on the wing is perhaps one of the oddest decisions I've ever come across in professional sport. Mind blowing really. I think someone should @ Greta Thunberg on Twitter and get her to demand Bennett's resignation.
Is anyone really going to buy tickets for the England v Australia games next season if that fool is still in charge?
To a daft bloke like me, I t seems that Austin should have been playing in the halves (probably at the expense of Widdop) and having flown Handley halfway round the world, he should have been playing on the wing.
One thing severely lacking in the GB side is pace and whatever other shortcomings Handley may have, he's pretty quick.
Although PNG should be much easier to get past than the Kiwis or Tonga, we're not helping ourselves.
Austin on the wing is just ridiculous.
