1230.gif “You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif |

| Our squad was worse than 2017 overall, so I didn't expect us to win the tournament, or hold our own against the Aussies, but we did have an easier draw this time and crucially, we did not improve as the tournament went on, as we did on the previous 2 tournaments.
Wayne Bennett got the best world cup performances in my time watching the game, so perhaps it is a little unfair to compare the last world cup with this one, but no coach has taken the team from 1 world cup to the next, and there is nothing I can see from Wane, that would justify him being the exception.
The lack of attacking discipline, the drop offs in defence, the players we were carrying were clear in the 4 previous games, so when we came up against a better teams they were exploited, and I don't want a coach who picks players no matter what their form, or who won't motivate a squad to grow and improve performances from week to week.
Clear out the whole coaching roster, and start again.

getting knocked out by samoa and not even playing another tier 1 team in the comp is essentially the same as getting mullered.

| Leeming's defence is probably the reason why. That, and his lacklustre form at the end of the season, which saw him displaced from a starting position by Jarrod O'Connor after Leeming returned from an injury. He's still a contender for next time though.

Again, I ask, when did England get mullered?
