Yes.
It's Pete Nuttall.
He's the screaming announcer at all these RL events and he's a ******* pain in the neck.

He's not impressed.
OUCH!
would you be? it was bloody awful! scraped 38 points with some lucky tries, a guy in the bin and 17 penalties in your favour!

Poor England.
They are never crap are they?
Always someone else's fault.
Or they are robbed.
Refs, Aussies and now Bennett himself is to blame.
17-7 penalty count, an opposition player in the sin bin and they were still crap.
Not their fault though.
Oh no, never.

| England very poor first half, Gale looked a bit out of sorts with 2 shocking balls, which were spilled.
Wiliams went very well, especially in the second half and I though the Burgess boys made good yards down the middle.
We never tried to set a platform in the first 40 and were probably guilty of thinking that it would be an easy game.
Credit Scotland for getting stuck in.
A fair result in the end but, I cant see us making the final.
The Kiwis would need to smash Aus and then we would have to do the same next week.
It aint going to happen so it's a rehearsal fo the final coming up

| On a positive note, I doubt any games will be staged in Coventry again.
Stupid idea in the first place.

not for one minute do i believe we can beat Australia but if NZ just get a win tonight then its a straight shoot out with us and OZ next week.If the Aussies win tonight we need it to be a big one to make the NZ side way back on points difference.
basically, a close Australia win tonight leaves us all but out.

If Cronk JT and Smith all pull hamstrings tonight then we may just have a chance

Stupid idea to play it at tea time on Bonfire night. Absolutely no development potential - all the kids will have been looking forward to the fireworks for weeks. If the RFL tried they couldn't have made a worse decision than this. Maybe next time play during Quuens Sppech on Christmas day on the Isle of Skye?

Atmosphere is like a morgue for this second game, back in 2011 they got 12k for Aus-NZ at Warrington, with 10k watching England play Wales at Leigh, so 22k which id guess is about the level there tonight, so no progress made.
Would have been better to have had this event at Olympic Stadium in the daytime, and then stage England-Australia at the Etihad or Elland Road.

They need Kieran Foran back.
Thomas Leuluai won't let the side down but he's limited at six.

This is the best I have seen NZ play in a while. Australia are very good - best we've seen over here in a long time.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Similar to the last time these 2 met before the 4 nations. he was poor. Could change it round in the 2nd half mind.

The whole expansion policy is a nonsense. We have a team who plays in manchester who are regularly getting less than 3000 in attendance. Surely putting internationals in Manchester could actually be beneficial for SL.
Whats the point of putting a game in Coventry? If some locals go see it and really like it are we expecting them to drive to Warrington every Weekend?
