They normally do mate but i'd check the RFL website for confirmation!

Well, how disappointing was that?
Why did Smith pick Wilkin?
Tomkins did little but then we had no ball after the 60 minute mark.
Same old , same old.
Until SL is as competitive as the NRL on a weekly basis hard to see how we can compete.
So come on the rest of you get up to our & Saints level.

Same old story,we compete for 60 minutes then the superior fitness and skill levels begin to tell.

I dont normally post, as the more astute of you will notice, but tonight feel I have to make the following observation.

It is not hindsight but to not play an experienced half back partnership has cost us. To not pick Burrow from the outset was a mistake, but that has been compounded by then Tony Smith not selecting his best halfs available to him which was Eastmond and Mcguire. Tomkins is not yet up to it at this level. How a coach can leave BOTH half backs from a treble winning GF side out of the International side beats me. History shows that both Burrow and Mcguire can play the big games. To not pick at least one of them was a huge mistake. I may be biased but they both should have played. Tonight I cant remember any passage of play between our 6 and 7. A bit like the lack of cohesion when Tomkins and Eastmond played against NZ. We got away with it then, we didnt tonight.

Thought Eastmond looked our only back likely to break the line.Both of our centres offered nothing in attack.
