Do you really think that?

I really do think that I would not be surprised, yes. But do I think that it will happen? I just don't know. Now that the Vampire has been cleared of all wrongdoing, England could well go on to win it.

You sure about that? Pretty sure he played for us on the wing a few times while at Salford. Not that he's a winger tho.... but shouldn't matter much against a pub standard team.

Don't be stupid

I will give the troll his due, he still gets a fair few chomps.

Well, he confused me because sometimes he appears to talk intelligently about RL, but then he comes up with something like that. Plus he's made over 4000 posts - that's some dedicated trolling!

Confirmation of the infinite monkey theorem.

Bentham's positioning then??? Even if the French player caught it he was going to be in the way.

I know it’s only a desperately poor France team but Widdop looking excellent at fullback.

They look a different team with Widdop & Gale linking up rather than one split either side. Superb handling. Everything stops when it gets to Bateman unfortunately. Percival looks world class & is more than holding his own physically. It will be different against the southern hemisphere teams.

Good start against a bit of a rabble that wouldn't trouble half a dozen sides in this comp.
Nice hands and the fluidity is what we want and is IMHO the best way to beat the other teams going forward and ultimately Australians in the final if we get there.
Widdop excellent at FB, Brown doing really well, Gale better and Roby makes such a massive difference, Hodgson shouldn't get in the 17 frankly as he's offered virtually nothing as many have said.
Percival has done alright too.
Hope Graham gets a long rest this game.
