Yes and no. Yes, he's wrong on many levels - no we don't [ineed[/i an Aussie coach (not even initially). We need to produce our own coaches of a standard high enough - which means giving them a shot in SL. And we need to learn once and for all to play high tempo Rugby League (in attack and defence) for 81 minutes. How long ago was it they appointent David Waite and how much progress did we make under that particular Australian?! I could be a little kinder about Tony Smith but it's the same story.

Joey - and I trust his honesty and RL brain - reckons we're every bit the match for Aus, we just can't stick it for 80 mins. And having been at practically every England/GB v Australia game, home and away for the last 20 years, I'd agree with him - rlhttp://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/same-old-story-for-hapless-poms/story-e6frext9-1225797950424rl

I know we've taken a few tw@ings over the last 10 years or so, but when we have turned up and rattled the Aussies, we've still (all but once or twice) bombed it in the last 15 mins.

well we where winning for 75mins under waite...tony smith reduced that to 60mins

How much longer are you going to faff about trying to come up with a system to beat Australia,you have buggered about for nearly 40 years with no success,you just have to do something about it,...believe me we Australians are bored to death when we play England,they aren't exciting to watch any more.....your admin just have to take their head out of the sand.

No matter what you chose to think,England are LIGHT YEARS behind us in the game.

For those that agree with you, you're pointing out the blindingly obvious and for those that don't, you're adding nothing. This thread's about a new England coach.

Correct

Incorrect

Doubtful

I'd like to see influences from other sports at the top (RFL).
Even someone like Woodward could possibly add something to the table.

If we want to beat the Aussies we're going to
a) Get a LOT more juniors involved
b) Come up with something very different

Maybe look to the NFL for tips on power, maybe not tips even analyse full coaching setups, top level martial arts for balance and control of movement, core stability, even soccer could probably teach us a thing or two.

Are you by any chance the guy who is trying to run the forum Rugby League Today?
I seem to see similarities in your posts to the ones Dicko posts on his abortion of a forum....if it is you,you will have noticed how a decent forum is run,and without little AIMz.

Sorry mate,it's only your wishful thinking that makes you say incorrect,just watch the replay again(if you dare) and you will see the vast difference in pace.

Now, now, don't start shouting and get yourself worked up, we don't want you to start insulting everyone and get banned under this name as well. You'll have to fall back on your other hobby of wearing the Phil Gould mask and tugging yourself off into a mirror.

Be a good boy and take the medicine then come back when you have something meaningful to contribute.

yeah we did'nt do bad considering we have no backs & our halfbacks are kids..nah not bad at all to beat the world champions and run the aussies close for an hour...not bad at all i reckon
