Fantastic series, unlike the pointless bickering, is there a sieve to filter out the onanistic point scoring?

Only a ban on the guttersnipe by the Mods.

Wish there was.
Back to the rugby...?The joy for me in Johnson's try (apologies if the spelling is wrong) was that he used the concept of "going around people" instead of just trying to steamroller his way over the opposition. This used to happen quite a lot, which gave our game a lot more variety and skill, I think.

Got any views on what happened on the pitch, gutters?

Thought the Kiwis were by far the better team, but failed to make their dominance count on the scoreboard, which nearly cost them. I think that on the showing over their 4 games they were by far the best team and I honestly think England AND Samoa were better than the Australians. Their lack of depth in the pack is a worry for them, but they now have 2 years and 6 "trial" matches to find some new bulk (not to mention the PI double headers they can scout from too )
Player of the tournament was SJ without a doubt. Although it's easier to look good behind a dominant pack, he coped with the late hits all game and punished the aussies in the best way. His kicking game throughout the tournament was spot on.
The Beast continues to impress me because often when he looks to have lost form he comes back and scores more tries. His decision to come in on that last play was what forced the "forward" pass.
Other stand out players were Proctor who had a great tournament and Jason Taumalolo is the best lose forward in the game at present.

I hope that the RLIF sort out the rules and the neutral referee scenario before 2016......whilst the aussie players were gracious in defeat and hung around after the game chatting with us fans, their "bosses" didn't do themselves or the game any favours.

Look at the sin bin - it used be a vibrant board with a breadth of differing views. That was until the mods allowed fellow mods to dominate every thread. In the end everyone got so hacked off they went elsewhere to get serious debate. As a result the board might as well be closed it gets one new thread a week!!

Some on here are concerned that you will do the same to the virtual terrace. We all know RU is a bigger better connected/represented sport the site doesn't need it rammed down its throat at every opportunity. London has always been doomed to failure again we don't need you tell us it could have been the next Melbourne - more chance of RL overtaking RU in NZ.

With some new material maybe you can have a positive impact on the debate.

Given that Gutterfax simply has to have the last word could I suggest that everyone lets him, ignores his last post and gets back to, what I thought was actually quite an interesting thread!

You're right, he's clearly as thick as pig ****

Best tournament in either code for many a year anyway and I really can't wait for next year's series. Venues are to be announced before Xmas apparently so that's 3 things i'll be asking santa for.
Hopefully they'll play a few warm ups against SL teams like the old days too but maybe that's asking for too much.
