Was it just me ? Both sides lacked passion or any skill ! They all seemed to just go through the motions, I left the ground with 5minuets left to play, bored out of my scull, 2nd game ! I don't think so!!!!!!!

He went on record before the game and said this is the team he wanted apart from the players in the NRL.

He's got a centre thats on fire in Goulding and also has great understanding with the England and Wigan winger josh charnley.

He didn't treat it as a trial or he'd have give uncapped England halves brough and lomax a go instead of the already tried and failed pairing of sinfield and rangi chase.

I think England selection does have something of a lag effect. Players not playing well do tend to get picked more on previous form than current. The situation with so many Leeds players making the side, is an example of this and Sinfield playing at halfback.

But what are we going to do, this belief in 'class' over form is something that is hard to shift.

I thought the selection process for Saturdays game was a joke to be honest. How on earth Darrell Goulding wasnt playing Right Centre is just completley stupid as he is the form Centre in Super League. Danny Brough and Jonny Lomax should have been in the halves ahead of Kevin Sinfield and Rangi Chase (who has had an awful season) Jamie Peacock has sadly declined to the point now where I dont even think he warrants a place in the Leeds side nevermind being Captain of his country. He was woeful on Saturday.

i made the mistake of watching the Origin game first, then watched ours crikey talk about being in slow mode, even the wife,son & i was bored with it.Origin was all hell let loose it was even raining there as well so whats the answer, warmer rainicon_smile.gificon_smile.gif.The Aussie game was fast & furious.There was one thing that surprised me was when of the players got sinned binned he went to the dressing rooms,since when.Our game is not poncing about as Ron Hoofe would say but that lot well.
