Our halves are obviously weak, but they aren't that weak are they?

@ Dubai

No, I like C Heighington and G Burgess, next yr might want Souths to do well, just not keen on S Burgess and S Tomkins. But it's the London media and the hypocrisy of middle class England that are the reasons why I hardly ever want England to in in anything. Not too keen on English people not speaking English properly either, I speak better English than most who live there. Also the controversial history of haemochromatosis, the Welsh Not, and Pembrokeshire being called Little England.

Suum cuique, old boy.

Given the compositional prevalence of phosphorus and sulphur in place of iron, Danny Brough's Man of Steel award last season could most definitely be considered somewhat controversial.

@Hillbilly red,

Even some famous people talk some rubbish, and most things should be taken in context.

Who cares international rugby league is pointless anyway

Possibly, but it has to be done, and improved on.

I'm still wondering if the NZ team have turned up for the World Cup Final yet?

What about the RLWC legacy?

For example, erm..........................

Who can forget those nail biting quarter final ties

There should be 8 teams in it, with no quarter-finals, obviously 2 groups of 4. Top 2 in each into the semis. 5 weekends is enough, as we can't play 3 matches in 9 days. It takes 4.6 days to recover from a RL match.

2017 WC :-
Gp. A - Aus, NZ, Samoa, Tonga
Gp. B - England, France, PNG, Fiji

Tho of course I want Europe in there instead of Eng. and France. So maybe Lebanon would play, obviously there would be qualifiers, but as there are club teams in the USA & Canada, and league there, I'd only want to see players in those leagues playing for the US and Canada meaning they probably wouldn't qualify. Lebanon would probably play against the Cook Islands for the final place, or possibly S Africa.

Hodkinson is a fantastic player and England should jump at the chance to make him a part of the squad and partnered with Widdop could be the partnership to have us compete with the aussies
