You have to laugh when Aussies call other people idiots.

Wigan aren't going to get slaughtered though. They will compete. They might even win something again. Semi-Final cup?



How have England progressed far enough that they wont get smacked in the four nations? Our coach has now gone part time!!!



England players care more about winning trophies with their clubs than with England. Look at the effort shown by the players in the grand final to the world cup. FFS Senior was getting it on with some Aussie bird while he was there. Does that sound like a man who is focused? Oh and also sold his medal on Ebay.

Suit yourself. I know I'll be there.

Watching Wigan, England and Great Britain whenever and wherever I can.

I've got my ticket to the JJB/DW/whatever stadium to see the slaughter! I haven't seen it live before, so I figured while it's in my vicinity I would go along.



I'm more concerned about who is going to be in this England team. Our esteemed so-called national coach does not seem to be giving our national team any consideration at all at present; too busy basking in Challenge Cup glory. Alas. However, should he ever refocus on to the important business at the end of the season then I'd like to see as young a team as possible given a go on the pitch.

Good lad you



Always a great atmosphere, despite what happes on the pitch.

I'd say Smith is already thinking about Warrington's next game. Say what you want about the bloke, but he's always professional.

I'd rather England/GB win than any club trophy. Look forward to internationals far more than any club fixture.



Just wish our players were bright enough to learn how to play for a rep team in the time available.

Im looking forward very much to the four nations. international games on the bbc for a start. live and highlights which makes it an important opportunity to big up the international game. i cant make any of the games for financial reasons, although i will be at the wales-england, wales-ireland and the euro finals day. international rugby league is essential for things to kick on in wales.

perhaps wales can play cook islands

the cook islands will be busy playing samoa,in carins,for the pacific cup...... ya pillock...

I'm deeply disappointed in you roughyed..... entertaining that pr!ck.









Will be back in Catalonia next week so will try and find out if any more internationals are planned. Lots of positive feedback about this summer's tournament.

The French people will be the most disinterested

The English will be next

The Kiwis will be fairly interested



THE AUSSIES WILL DEFINATELY BE THE MOST INTERESTED.



=redI WONDER WHY?

Dont you mean Aus.and NZ??

cos you got your ar$e$ handed to you in 2 of the last 3 international finals?

u love the aussie ass

no...the kiwis do thats why they are all over you..

33 years for the french

seeing as no one plays series anymore winning just the once is all that matters...



why do you think loads of england players want the 'new' ashes fought for on a game by game basis??? cos they know they are more than capable of knocking over the aussies in 1 game at least..



just ask the kiwis, their record against australia is comparable with ours..it's just their wins over australia tend to come in finals

im really looking forward to this years four nations, just to see how england respond after the farcial world cup display last year.



now there is talk about putting the ashes on the line for england v australia what more could we want by shoving one down the convicts throats and winning the ashes? there is alot riding on this four nations and i for one will certainly be interested in the outcome. i will be going to all englands games and even supporting england in wales.



this is the pinnicle of rugby league and how people can say they are not interested beggars belief.

only going to be able to make the australia game & the final

yes the shoving down your pom throats will resume again just like when england played in the world cup



england world cup

4nations

I'm going, can't wait !!!!

Australia captain Darren Lockyer has expressed reservations about an English proposal to put rugby league's Ashes on the line in a one-off game next month. Richard Lewis, executive chairman of the Rugby Football League, again urged the ARL to decide in favour of the trophy being put up for grabs at Wigan on October 31 during the Four Nations series . www.rugbyleaguelive.com/Articles ... _idea.aspx

The 'Ashes' should probably be played for via a series.



This smacks of desperation by our pommie friends to finally win them!!





England /GB can sometimes beat Australia in a one off game here and there.



But as far as winning a whole series.....FORGET IT!!!

The aussies 'reservations' about playing for the ashes smacks of fear





edit-whoops!

I actually agree with Brian on this one
