F**k off you f**king moron.

You stop stealing a wage off Beaumont with your Daily Star level media c**p.

What centre would've done better?

If anybody says Ryan Atkins I'll hunt you down and shoot you.

In all honesty i thought he was pretty good today. A thankless task marking Inglis and it didn't help the whole team stood off him and allowed him far too much space.

Watkins is still the best English centre by a margin imo. we simply don't have the talent in that area and in the halves to live with the Aussies and it has been that way for as long as i remember.

I thought we needed another Kallum Watkins thread.

It's all Watkins' fault boo hoo!

You are such a sad sack, for FFS get your self a life and make all that know you and those who don't happy

He came close to the Aussie line twice

His defence was solid throughout

The penalty for the late hit on the kicker was a joke decision

His knock on from Thurston's kick was a tricky one that many would not catch and would've lead to a catch had he not gone for it.

yeah absolutely disgusting that Watkins couldn't be arised to get himself in position to stop Matt Scott and trent Merrin barging over...then he had the cheek not to assist Percival when trying to stop cronk walking through for another easy try... bloody Watkins if it wasn't for him we would be in the final!

Not another pointless thread?

In a game where our "NRL Superstars" have been humped without any lube & "Uber Coach" has been shown up we get a thread about Watkins

He looked threating at times, and went looking for work. He defended OK overall, but tried to force it a few times which led to mistakes.
On the other side Percival showed some glimpses, but is way off the mark physically, and in terms of his decision making, he probably wouldn't have been in if we had a better options, but I'm sure he'll get better.

The NRL based players were the most disappointing for me, apart from Graham, perhaps. The Burgess twins were especially shocking, Whitehead doesn't seems to do anything apart from pop up with the occasional try, Hodgson was poor today, and Widdop was beyond mediocre.

Watkins was solid throughout in defence today and thought he kept inglis quite quit, in attack he had little ball but looked dangerous when he did have it skipped past inglis a couple of times, but that second half effort from most of the squad was poor we just couldn't cope at times.

don't you know he was the agreed scapegoat before a ball had been kicked. i for one am sick of average players getting picked because they play in NRl

England would've won had Ryan Atkins played instead.....no honestly.

Bennett will pick a load of Aussies for the WC next year. won't make any difference and we will become an even bigger laughing stock for using their cast offs.
