If this is building for the future why the fook have we a union plonker in,

For me it doesn't matter who we played or who Tony Smith picked we would give the same result. We've had 14 years of Super League with many lauding the salary cap as working but the proof is on the field now. Youngsters great, old experience great but bollock all in between.

It's men against boys - literally.

You can bet nearly all the England squad wont be near it.

I bet there shaking in their boots in the NRL anticipating the arrival of Burgess. Hes a knock on machine. Souths have been sold a lemon.

This is embarrassing. Lee Smith now sticking the elbow in because he has been made to look like a pedestrian.

I can't think of one player who would be near oz or nz team

No but in Smith's case this is a guy who prefers to disappear to another game. Why pick him? Let's face it, he ain't really Test standard.

That's better (Smith facial). Should have done that 30 minutes ago but harder. Shut up Kear "should be showing how good they are playing Rugby League rather than that". They're not as good at playing RL. That's the point.

Lee Smith ffs!

That was pretty funny.
