He better find himself a bar job to pay for it as I doubt he will ever get a first grade NRL game with the Faders

Fortunately for him I highly doubt he's on a pay as you play deal.

Personally I went into the tournament expecting an easy win against Samoa, a complete hiding from the Aussies and salt in the wounds and another beating from the Kiwis, I have been very pleasantly suprised and enjoyed the tournament immensly and I hope the Final lives up to expectation.

I thought two England performances were good (Not sure about the Samoa game, either we were under par or they were better than expected).

Against Oz', we had two crucial chances to win the game, with breaks of 3 against 2, sadly on both occasions the ball carrier held on for too long. If just once the ball had been passed wide the game would've been won and thats without any "fingertip-gate" discussion, which to me is irrelivent, the ref said NO, end of!.

Against the Kiwis, if Ryan Hall doesn't lose his grip, we win, sadly he did, so we lose.

It's been ages since I last felt we were about to win, well ages against Oz', only last year against the Kiwis to be fair, but I'm sure you all know what I mean. The only dissapointment is that Samoa will be replaced by Scotland next time, surely there should be a play-off or something?

If anyone should know what it takes to get a bar job, it's a Kiwi.

Call me, when you get the telephone over there in Mordor.

Steady on your starting to sound like an arrogant Aussie. Best wait u til you win the final before starting the gloating lol.

This has been the closest and best tournament for a long time. Sit back and enjoy a cracking final.

I actually think the Aussies will fancy their chances this weekend. They are slight favourites with the bookies 1.75 as opposed to 2.05 for the Kiwis and if I'm honest, I've been pretty unimpressed with the Kiwis in the last 2 games and the weathers looking like a bit of a leveler too!
Still...it's International Rugby League and it's on in my home town! Bring it on....

I don't think anyone's surprised we came 3rd, we usually do! Aren't you a little embarrassed that you only beat a side that haven't won anything since Jesus was in primary school by 2 points, seeing as you Kiwi's are so great and all that?

Pommie's the worst insult for a nation of people ever. Nobody even knows wtf it means or cares when we're called it.
