Not usre if i agree with that t. briscoe, ellis, shenton, hall and burgess all performed as well as they could for me.

what about tom briscoe who chased back greg inglis in a lost cause?

If you read various players' autobiographies it quickly becomes clear that league players aren't the most professional or committed when it comes to internationals.

The booing I heard was by Bradford fans when they realised who was sitting next to Tony Smith.

i like the Lay off England – "southern hemisphere sides are a class apart"



well we have the northern hemisphere and the southern, not to many classes. just a class apart from us.

That's not an argument that would hold up in court.

well it seemed to work. i am sorry, but from playing the game in my youth, booing motivated you more than walking off at half time with no-one seeming to care and not showing their feelings openly.



I was actually at the bar for the half time whistle as i went down there after 25 mins

I don't really agree with the booing. But having said that, I felt like doing the same last year during the World Cup and in the Tri Nations the year before in Aus. I think what gets to me is the big talk so many England players have given in the past, and then hopelessly failed to live up to when it counts.



The comments about SL are spot on in that article. Until we have English players available at most clubs for most positions our strength in depth will remain awful.
