Given Englands less than impressive international performances in the last few years (especially last time they played in the Southern Hemisphere) will they actually win a game in this years 4 nations?

PNG?

The PNG game will be crucial if they hope to stand any chance of getting anywhere near the semi final... but PNG will be confident and looking to impress seeing as they hope to have a side playing in the NRL in the near future. And PNG really should have beaten England in 2008.

New Zealand?

Highly unlikely England will win that one either.. but given the unpredictability of the Kiwis... maybe.. just maybe?

Australia?

ummmm

not a chance.

You're a cheeky swine Baz.

How come there's not an option of winning all the games plus the final against the Kiwis?

England - NZ final mate.

we'll beat PNG & NZ but lose to australia and again to australia in the final

Barry McKenzie admires your optimism.


Contrary to popular belief I would like to see England do well in the 4 nations.

But realistically...... I think they will struggle to win any of their 3 matches

yeah we'll struggle to beat PNG....yeah right

england will beat png

and NZ

Baz, you forget; we have a secret weapon...! Steve McNamara!!

Yes, soon you shall quiver in the wake of 20 years of English dominance with the new International RL's equivolent of Alex Ferguson!!

All hail Fatnamara!!

I would really like to see England do well in a tournament... I'm not joking.

In the short time I've lived in the UK I have met some very friendly RL supporters here.... most noticably when I went to Wigan.

I feel sorry for your average British RL supporter... they havent had anything to celebrate in many many years. They are well overdue winning something.

But realistically... I cant see it happening.

Englands best chance of winning something will be a tournament that is held in England.

I swear the longer you spend over here the softer you become. A couple or three months ago you wouldn't have been that nice.

I look at at our pack, which is as good as the Aussies and the Kiwis, and consider how recently the Aussies have proved not to be completely invinsible and I start to get excited. We might not have come away with the cup last year, but we put in a good foundation performance to build on. Our biggest weakness is our backs, but with a strong forward game and canny coaching we're in with a shout. Then I remember who the coach is. Thoroughly depressing!

Part of me doesn't want England to succeed so I don't have to see that fat smarmy face with that expression he has that says "I am awesome, I really am awesome! Just so awesome"

Although Barry McKenzie is no fan of superleague, the England Rugby League team, or England itself I genuinely mean it when I say that English RL supporters deserve far better than what they are being served up at International level.

If I was English and I had paid good money to fly to Australia in 2008 to follow my national side and I witnessed the crap they turned out in their games I would be spewing. The side went out there for a holiday. Nothing more. Nothing less.

I havent been to that many games during my time in the UK but I will honestly say, with my hand on my heart that EVERY English RL fan I met at Wigan (and I met quite a few, before the game around the ground, in the stadium and afterwards in the Walkabout) were friendly, helpful and genuinely all round nice people. One positive memory I will take back to Australia with me at the end of the year.


I cant see Englands 2010 4 nations being anything other than a repeat of Englands last trip in 2008. A narrow win angainst PNG if they are lucky. Losses to the Kiwis and the Kangaroos.

Unless a miracle happens the only question will be how many they lose by.

I think the 10 people that think England will win all of their games plus the final against Australia have been out on a social night with Gareth Hock in June 2009
