Thought Seinfeld had a great 78 minutes and should have drilled the ball to touch. Saying that had Burgess not gone high we would have won. Can't decide if Seinfeld should have come out of the line or not at the end. If he makes the tackle he is a hero. Thought Hall and Cudjoe were the weak links in what was a superb performance for 78 minutes.

Why would he get sacked? True we failed to make the final but that was more to do with the team taking it's eye off the ball before the game was won. There's a decent team and they didn't play badly in any game but need to work on their composure

Well speaking as an Englishman I'm disappointed that we've failed once again after coming so close. In what was effectively a 3 team competition and as host nation the minimum requirement for success was a spot in the final. So you have to say McNamara and the players failed to perform in this World Cup.

Speaking as a RL fan who has tickets for the Final, I think the final will be a better match up with NZ v Aus. However NZ will have to improve a considerable amount from yesterday to get close to a pretty formidable looking Aussie team. Can't wait to see some of the best talent in RL on show at OT now, hopefully the final will cap off what's been a good WC tournament.

Yeah I just wanted to be the first to say it.

Don't necessarily agree with it

The mindset of the players needs looking at. Where did that lack of composure needed to see the game out come from?

It's not like they aren't big game players. The high tackle aside why didn't try stick the defensive game plan they'd stuck to for 79 and a half minutes?

Personally thought the kick was poor on England's last set. Should have gone into touch but we should have still defended it from there.

The more he talked of his honour,the faster we counted our spoons.:



Absolutely gutted,but what a great game.

I feel sorry for slammin Sam and Graham who both put up world class performances imo.
Yes,Sinfield should have kicked the ball in to touch,schoolboy stuff that and he did miss an easy conversion which would have meant the scores were level,but to lose on the last kick of the match is very hard to take.
Widdop did as well as he could do considering he wasn't 100% match fit.

I do think,though,that put Hock and Brough in that team and we win easily.

Great effort by the boys though.

Who said anything about being sacked? He is out of contract now and I can't see it being renewed, unless, of course as before, nobody else wants it.

Do you actually believe that England have improved under his tenure?

Compared with our performance in the last world cup we have improved under McNamara!

Yesterdays game was great. There was hardly anything between the teams in the end. Not bad versus the World Champions and the most impressive team in the tournament so far.

In the end a couple of mistakes were the difference, but we were the better side for long periods.

I was so gutted it has taken me until now to log on. The best performance since Melbourne in 92. Burgess absolutely immense. Sinfield's best game for GB/England & unfair to bag him when others made mistakes that led to NZ tries. I wasn't impressed by Edwards' monotone ramblings but still preferable to Davies. How Edwards can witness a game like that & still turn up to coach yawnion defies belief. At least I will be able to go to the final & enjoy it without feeling sick with nerves all week.
I'm not MacNamara's biggest fan but I could have few complaints if they offered him a new contract after that. Not that I expect much competition, especially if it's a full time role.

I agree with all that tigertot .What a fantastic game,Sam Burgess? You can't say enough superlatives about him.Also about Sinfield,he threw 2 excellent passes for 2 England tries,it would be wrong to blame him

We have improved since the last world cup I am just unsure how much of that is down to McNamara. It helps we have more players playing in the NRL week in week out for a start.

Agreed. Burgess and Graham were outstanding. He'll be offered a new contract because there's nobody else of the required calibre who wants the job full time. It was a great effort yesterday. People can criticise his management of the squad and the press conference where he walked out was poor, but it is the responsibility of the players to behave.

Overall, though we lost to both Australia (comfortably) and New Zealand (narrowly). The halves have been poor and although he played better yesterday Sinfield has not demonstrated he should have been picked above Brough. His kicking game yesterday was shocking and the conversion he missed was regulation. There was no need to dart out to Johnson. Widdop was a massive improvement on Chase and it should have been Brough/Widdop from the start.

Veni, Vidi, Spurius brutus detruncavi I came, I saw, I tore the thick b4st4rds limb from limb Bradford Bulls - the polished turds of SL since 2012:Black Backgrounds/Earl%20Sinclair.gif



No one can say Brough would have played better, he never got the chance and we will never know how he would have done he may have been so far out of his depth, as been mentioned on another thread he is still looking for that dummy RTS sold him over a week ago.

He plays for scotland, we moan it ruining the game that players switch nationalties then we moan when we cant get a scot to play for us, he was a scot in the 2008 WC and he is in the 2013 WC no point going over it again and again.

I think the future england HB partnership should be based around Widdup hes played what 40-60 mins of the WC before playing against NZ and didnt look out of place one bit, that is my biggest nark with McBanana of him sticking with chase for so long, our previous games where dire and boring, yeah we won them but they weren't spectacles to please the eye. Struggle to think of a good partner but least there is time to look at other options, if eastmond does get back into RL then I think he maybe the missing link or they look at moving tomkins there, much as I dont like him i think he is a better SO/SH than a FB.
