GB style of rugby won’t change then, just their mentality, I suppose it is slightly better than the current offering

Having a head coach who:

a. Lives on the other side of the world and
b. Coaches at club level

means that he rarely sees the players at his disposal.

If we are ever going to be other than 2nd rate, we need a coach that is 100% committed to the national team. Furthermore, whoever it is needs to pick the best player in that position. Are we seriously saying that the two wingers today are the best Britain can offer - one of whom spent almost all his career playing at half-back, and one who seems to be picked on his form 4-5 years ago when Huddersfield last had a decent season.

Not watched the game due to only finishing work in the early hours but I’ve been unfortunate enough to see the result. The OP will almost certainly be getting his wish. A wish that is now reciprocated amongst many.

As for the GB concept; this must be kept IMHO. Keep it to a tour every 4yrs and a complete desperate entity from England/Scotland/Wales/Ireland with a different coach each time. There’s no harm or shame in copying the RU model.

Should be Powell who takes over. Same Waney mentality, more skill involved though

It's not just Bennett.

There've been quite a few players out there, wearing GB shirts, who are clearly nowhere near international standard.

I'd love to think this would be reflected in a huge reduction in their asking prices, but it won't be. As soon as they get home and start tearing it up domestically again, we'll all fall back into our old habit of thinking they're really good. But that's the SL era for you.

No one I wouldn’t have thought.

It’s been a bad tour, to put it lightly and there’s no doubt the GB image has been damaged but it is repairable so long as the inept RFL run it correctly instead of half hearted like this has been. Better team selections, tactics, own social media account etc. The only good thing I can think of is that we didn’t play Australia.

Bennett and Sinfield need to go and I think the formers departure is almost inevitable now anyway. But we must remember that this is a GB tour, NOT an England tour. They’re two separate entities and from what Kevin Sinfield has been saying I think there’s an outside chance Bennett stays on as England coach which IMO is wrong.

GB to stay on a 4yr tour basis. Different coach each time and a proper schedule confirmed years before. Performances are only half the battle to attracting new eyes. A professional and organised look is essential. The RFL have managed to make this tour look amateurish.

But we all know nothing will change. The RFL will continue to wear cherry and white spectacles living in cloud cuckoo land. You only have to look at the difference between their press conference a few weeks ago and Toronto’s a few days ago to see the complete shambles they are. It’s little wonder RL is scoffed at and dismissed so easily.
