Gotta disagree there.
Mitchell, Trebojovic and Tedesco are all pure class and that's just fullbacks covered. Cleary is brilliant, but if he isn't feeling it , they can have DCE and Reynolds as replacement, Munster as you have said is pure class as is Matt Burton and Cody Walker, Jerome Luaiai (spelling), their hookers could be any of Grant, Cook or even Ben Young . wingers Ado Carr, Cobbo, Tupou (if he chooses them over Tonga, or any number of options, . Then there is the rest their pack, at least, 5 picks in every position better than the best we have. If they turn up wanting to win, we do well to keep them below 60 in my opinion.

We see our management talking players such as Ryan Hall, who didn't score during his time with the Roosters, Sam Tomlins and Johnny Lomax and, as good as they are/have been in SL, they'd struggle to get in any of the 2nd tier nations' squad. I hope I am wrong , but I don't even have us a 3rd favourite, given the names Tonga and even Samoa can call on, never mind NZ and the Aussies.

I'd go as far as to say this World cup could be the final nail in the coffin for Northern Hemisphere International RL.

Totally agree with all this - Australia have got a whole next generation of that has come through to replace Skater, Thurston etc. They will beat England rather easily….

With a nights remove from the result I'm struggling to get too worked up over the result.
It easy to forget that earlier in the season with pretty much a full side to pick from we nearly beat Wigan and then did actually beat them.

Last night we had half the squad in the stands, the ones left are mostly young kids, recent acquisitions and players in their twilight years. Add to that losing our best non-kid/old man player early on coupled with Wigan being in red hot form currently.

Yes, 60-0 isn't a good look but its understandable in the context and not nearly as bad as the Leeds game imo.
It gets a massive a shrug from me and I'll move onto the Cas game which we have a realistic chance of winning.

Don't talk common sense you'll upset a few on here

I don’t know which is worse, the fact we lost 60-0 or just now watching the highlights of why we lost 60-0.

Can anyone who went tell me when Houghton went off after 50 minutes did hookem go dummy half or joey?

The same Tedesco who couldn't even get selected infront of slater so played for Italy? That one right

Who's replacing Thurston? Cleary? Another who couldn't get a look in until the old guard retired

Tedesco is 29 aswell so why couldn't he break through in 2017?

Are you saying you don't rate Tedesco???
He's an absolute standout in the current game.

Bateman was one of their best players

Even George Williams did well at Canberra

But go on then 10 hookers better than Roby

Then 10 props better than walmsley

Then 10 wingers better than makinson

You sure you wanna play this game

I'll send you the list as soon as you show me where I said Connor was the best fullback in the league.
