so do i dougy....our players need a sports shrink more than anything

So do I, but I'd take it further to the entire country. There's so much negativity, self-deprecation and lack of confidence. People think that because we haven't won a series for 30 odd years, we won't win the next one. Shouldn't everyone believe the law of averages. Our turn next.

Yeah, i always thought this of our football clubs in Europe, for years we didn't believe we could compete with these big names like Real Madrid, Barcelona and AC Milan, but as soon as an awful Liverpool side won in 2005, it give the rest belief, and since we've had 4 of the last 6 finalists.

I'm hoping this New Zealand victory will help us believe.

OMG, are you honestly that stupid. Did you watch the World Cup? In fact, have you watched any game England/GB have played in over the last 30 years?

You're not close, in fact you are getting worse. The English game is dying!

You cant win at home.

You cant win away.

You cant win with an Australian ref.

You cant win with an English ref.


Just waht type of advantage do you want to be in the ideal position to win a game???



You are crap, thats the bottom like.

I mean, Paul Wellens, Lee Smith an JJB.....please, your test players wouldnt make park footy sides over here.

If that was the case we might have been in with a shout for the world cup, but sadly the law of averages doesn't apply, and indeed never will apply when we have a crap coach and some crap players.

mentaly ill thingie all thats in the head .is too scoot . SL scoot league

Mental issues are another problem, Andrew Jones was amazed at the attitude of his fellow Warrington players when the dressing room decided that they would put on a good show against one of the top teams. He had to to tell they were going to win, not put in a decent show.

To be honest the team that has the least amount of injuries of star players and gels the quickest, will win the Quad Nations.

You will only have to win two games to make the final, so France will be an easy match, then win one more game.

You never seem to know what you're going to get with our players

Most of them are capable of putting in world class performances when they play well, but they can also play terribly, as individuals and as a team

yes i see . england can win . england will win

it's took him 3 month to crawl back from under the rock he's been hiding

one thing that might swing it in our favour,for a change, is the fact the a majority of the australians & kiwis are going to be playing the game under 2 refs this year in the NRL..

how will the cope with the change back to one ref for the 4nations?


also how will the refs perform now that they don't have ricky stuart barking orders at them?

An example of the attitude ingrained by many back home.
