Joel Tomkins has lost the plot

If your chasing a try, wouldn't you throw on your best attacking forward in Whitehead. Unfortunately our inept coach will stick with the equally inept Joel Tomkins.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

So hard to watch England play in the big games.
Kicking game today was a huge difference.

Absolutely nothing between the teams, but unfortunately it's us that miss out again.

Wonder what Graham wasn't happy with at the end.

A really good game.
James Graham really made a prat of himself at the end. If they were offside it's still no good crapping your pants and then ranting at the ref over it.

I am interested in Whitehead's stats. I have watched this game hungover so I may have missed some stuff! But it looked like he didn't really get his hands on the ball very often. Seemed to just be used as a dummy runner most of the time.
Tomkins is shocking. Can't believe he keeps getting picked to play. |

Deja-vu all over again. 35 years of watching England/GB nearly get there.

With a decent in play kicker that was an England win.
Matty Smiths kicking just isn't up to it.
With Brough's kicking game that was an England win by 10.
What was Joel tomkins doing in the team.
The difference between the teams was that New Zealand had a number 7.
Great game though.

I think he was just disappointed with himself and looking for an excuse. |

Very strong game by both sides.
Most of the England players will get NRL offers when their contracts are up.
