I struggle to see what McBanana see's in Wilkin, he offers nothing.

Last week Luke Lewis was crunching the Kiwis all game and ran hard and did good lines, that's what an International 2nd row does.

I'd love to see Bailey or Carvell in before him.

I see you've changed from 80% empty. So around 100% out on each.

Really need Graham and Ellis to pull through for next week. Aside from 3 rediculous decisions by the officials in 10 mins they were another reason the game went away from us.

I'd love us to win next week and get another crack at the Aussies. They look like you can really get at them and Slater will be a big loss. We can afford to make the silly errors we did yesterday against them but we've got loads of improvement in us. They will say they have as well but we shouldn't forget the Aussies had 2 warm up games against the Kiwis compared to ours against France and Wales.

I said last night id bench Chase but after watching the replay I've changed my mind. He had a nightmare couple of moments but he's such a threat and he deserves a chance to learn his lessons.

As for the 3 games we've played recently I'm again wanting Widdop to start and Carvell to come on to the bench.

And where were you?
Probably watching the borefest at Anfield. I know who got better value for their money yesterday.

It's no good good moaning about losing players to RU when the majority of RL fans can't be @rsed supporting their national side.

Agreed. Yesterday was a great day for the sport.
Can't believe how many Aus /NZ support there was! Thought the atmosphere in the lower tier was pretty good. Kids enjoyed the Haka and the Mexican wave!
Family ticket (2 Adults, 2 Kids) -£30, amazing value for two matches!

Not really, 40k and a 16 point loss is still poor, your standards are very low.
