PNG must have a strong domestic league, took a last minute try for the Aussies to beat a PNG side with no overseas based players. Maybe clubs over here should look to bring a few more PNG players over. www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... 26f2z.html

The GB/England packs been better than the Ausie pack for years but they do everything tough and off the backfoot because while the Ausies have World class halfbacks controlling them we've got makeshift and out of position good domestic players struggling to do that job for us.

That is a Myth in my opinion.
Dominant forwards set up the play for Halfbacks and even average Halfbacks can make something happen if given the space by the forwards.
The old adage is Forwards win games and the Backs decide by how many.

Man for man it does not stack up.
The fact Englands Halves have been ordinary is a fair point, it does no mean that England's forwards have been better.
They have never shown any dominance other than in one dead rubber years ago.
Did Burgess, Ellis or Graham win the Dally M award this year for their position?

Which equivalent English players are better?

Poor back line defence and a poor kick and chase has killed our chances every game. That and not been able to cope with the pressure of an arm wrestle.

PNG v Australia won by a Fijian. Sums it up. Australia should not be allowed to call themselves Australia.

Can't see why you cannot play SOO and play for Fiji/New Zealand. If you're born in Fiji but brought up in Queensland, you are both a Fijian and a Queenslander. It would help the interantional game no end

PNG Prime Minister's XIII v Australian Prime Minister's XIII won by a try to a Fijian born Australian RL junior.

What's Rangi Chase's junior club again?
