Bennett may as well just pick 17 forwards, what a bore fest that was.

If this is where superleague is going then crowds are going to drop off a cliff

Reminds me of us this season just gone. Widdop will fit in nicely with our Bennett-lite bore coach. This percentage risk free, turgid coaching has to go.

Exactly at least we know why Bennett likes Pricey so much
and had him as his assistant for a year.. proper snoozefest

Just a quick one as i've completely missed the reason, but why don't Australia want to play us this year? They are happy with New Zealand and Tonga but not us, it just seems really weird to me. Do they not take us seriously or is there another reason?

Think Mal Maninga was interviewed last week and said that this international period is about developing the oceanic teams and giving them more exposure, that’s why we’ve had this International 9’s Competition for the first time.

Not enough time in the tour.
Tours are generally 3 to 4 weeks.
As mentioned the nines effected the NZ test that only had time for 2.

Unbelievable. He has been a great coach in his time but I think old age as got the better of him.

Blake Austin to play on wing. What a farce. https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/sp ... RkjHplQdSk

Is there a winger in the squad with better wing credential than Austin?
I don't think there is...I'm going to lump on him.
