Why would they? Why do they need to avoid going to a training camp? |

| Quote shinymcshine="shinymcshine"It was a 'meanlingless game' as it wasn't a fully sanctioned International, and less than 5000 people in the RL "heartlands" could be bothered to turn up.
Had they 'trounced' Italy people would still moan about the meaningless of the vicotory, and that Italy didn't deserve a place in the RLWC and that the competition was a joke, and England would still lose against Australia.
A big no hurrah for the average fan, but I would think that McNamara, and his players, have learnt a lot from it.'"

Maybe - but given the rates on those places in the UK (and hotels), and the exchange rate with the Rand offering such value with the £, I doubt it would have constituted much of a saving.
Can't believe RL fans sometimes. If they'd gone off to a beach in Wales they would have been accused of 'doing it on the cheap, typical RFL being unprofessional', etc... |

| Quote King Street Cat="King Street Cat"This sentence perfectly sums up the current state of English Rugby League.
How was it a meaningless game? It was the last game before one of the most important tournaments in recent years and the players should have been 100% switched on for it.
Would the other nations we are ranked among have taken it so lightly or would they have gone out there and shown no mercy whatsoever and trounced Italy by plenty?'"
That meaningful that Tim Sheen also thinks its immensely vital to have a warm up game before the biggest tournament of his players' lives. Oh hang on....  |

No, Staying in England isnt the default position. If we stay in England it is because it is the best place to be. If it isnt, we dont. The same applies to South Africa, Timbuktu, Tierra Del Fuego, Newfoundland, Copenhagen and Tokyo. |

Do all those destinations have high altitude roofs?
It's important to take roofs into account because Cardiff has one. |

| Quote Maccbull_BigBullyBooaza="Maccbull_BigBullyBooaza"Leave Steve alone! Could you forge a team unit out of players that spend the rest of te year bashing the hell out of each other? No you couldn't ! It freaking difficult. This guy got Bradford to within 80 minutes of the challenge cup final where they lost to Saints the eventual cup winners! He got bradford to within 80 mins of the grand final where they lost to hull the eventual finalists! Can you say that? No!
He's had so much to put up with an his team only got back from South Africa last week! Anyway Italy are good they have players like minnichello and lefranchi! They're coached by a guy that played in superleague! Is it any wonder we lost?
Just get behind Steve and the team they don't need people like you! I bet you claim to support England but then talk about the coach like this! LEAVE STEVE ALONE!'"

"High altitude roofs" ???????
Well Cardiff city centre is around 12m above sea level, and the Millenium Stadium rooftop is around 30m from ground level, if that helps ??? |

I'm not as depressed as some seem to have got over this loss. But whilst everyone else was coming to the UK, our team based here have spent time journeying back and forth on planes. I really do not see the point.
If the WC was in austrailia, then I can see a point of going to a training camp part way there. If we where at altitude again aclimatize.
But it's a home tournement???
Regardless we should have won, but does not seem to be the ideal preperation from the coach, who was saying he wanted to stay on after the WC.
He's going to need a massive turn around in 7 days to get an extention.
