We'll deff beat Cumbria though

Its amazing how when GB/England squads are announced people act disappointed with the quality of players available, as though its a big surprise that we have no outside backs worth a mention or that when it comes to the crunch our pack somehow doesn't look as strong even on paper as we thought it would.

In any event, I'll support England, as usual. What I really hope is that they play without fear, and that a couple of the backs start to show some real potential.

Just in case I decide I'm not ready to abandon the mission before the plane even leaves, does anybody know whether any of the matches will be shown on the Beeb this year? For those of us without Sky. Chances of a pub down here opening at that time in the morning to show Rugby League = ZERO.

Certainly am!

It's a great collection overseen by Ben Folds (Who was responsible for the music) with great cameos from (Amongst others) Aimee Mann, Joe Jackson and Henry Rollins.

His 60's "music" is rightly derided as it fails on all levels.

Has Been doesnt.

Now, back on topic, we Leeds fans can't lose with the upcoming internationals. If the team do well, then that would be great

...but if we don't, then at least our players won't be taking the blame (again).

Meh, I'm flying to Dublin on the 23rd. Typical!

I wouldn't even bother sending a team, we're going to be royally embarrassed!

I think the best we can hope for is beating PNG.

If we end up at the bottom of the table, do we get "relegated" like France did last year?

Should beat PNG given that the ARL has shafted them by [url=http://www.sportsnewsfirst.com.au/articles/2010/09/08/costigan-s-png-bid-rejected/blocking the selection of Neville Costigan[/url because he made himself available this season for State of Origin. PNG's impressive full back David Mead is also out injured.

So many giants of our game to be exposed as toys for the antipodeans to play with.
