we should just get all eligible England players ie backs then forwards, put there names i a hat and draw them out to pick the squad. because regardless of who we pick we have very little chance of winning anyway. i'm usually pretty positive regarding international RL but just don't have muck/any interest in this. England have no chance NZ Australia final and Australia will win.

I wouldn’t be surprised if either Samoa or Tonga beat New Zealand. It’s a shame group B games aren’t on the BBC.

Australia as short as 1/5 to win the world cup

can get 10/1 on England, really hope we can make the final this year, got the players to do it!

I think I’d rather go out with a narrow loss in the semi final than get pumped 50 points by Australia.

Nah. As a HKR fan, even though we got stuffed by Leeds, I wouldn't want to not have got to Wembley

No Ferguson astounds me. He's been fantastic all year and caused no end of problems in the 2016 Four Nations, winning player of the tour. England really struggled against him. Big, fast and terrifically strong in defence and attack.

Still, good news for everyone else.
