Added a negative of my own

Are you banging on again? You just compared Burgess & Peacock to carthorses & now you're making it sound like we've never beaten you in 37 years.

Slag us off as much as you want. We are gracious in defeat, unlike you in victory. So as i've said a few times already on this thread 'well done'.

You personally remind of the old joke....Whats the difference between Australia & a yoghurt? If you left a yoghurt for a few hundred years it would develop culture.

Totally agree. The record books will show the score alone and not how close the game was in reality. That last 20 minutes was extremely disappointing. I had driven up from the Midlands (not the ends of the earth, I know) via several diversions thanks to an M1 closure for the most of the day. I don't think the crowd helped in that last 20. The ground was half empty by full time! Some may say cause, some may say effect, but some of the people sat around me arrived 10 minutes into the game and left 15 minutes before the end. And they weren't Wiganners ! What kind of message does that send to the players? The Kiwis can stage a comeback, so why couldn't we ?

In some respects our players seemed a little naive. I guess that comes with the relative inexperience some have at international level. Having said that, I was proud of their energy and passion compared to the "old school". Until the last 20 that is..........

I haven't seen the game again yet, so I'll reserve judgement on some of the "decisions" until then.

pmsl wot a tool...i bet you were one of those that said you cons should have been handed the world cup before a ball had been touched...and then were silenced...i dont mind ppl that gloat but dont think your overhyped gutless national team are unbeatable just ask the kiwi's

Thanks for that Shiela!
You've just reminded me why I detest the fly-blown, drought-ridden $h1te heap you call home, and the rest of its arrogant inhabitants so much. Cheers mate!

Ahh, convieniantly forgot The Ashes there, yes YOU LOST, but hey yuor still World champs at Aussie Rules

I whinge about all the excuses you poms think up every time you are beaten at ANY sport,it is absolutely amazing some of the excuses I've read over the years...two weeks ago when you held Australia scoreless in the second half,you poms were bragging about lifting your game and not letting Australia have any chances,...this week end when Australia belted the s**t outof you in the second half there have been excuses galore why England fell down, no one has said Australia lifted their game and gave us a hiding..which is what actually happened...
Let's face the truth poms,you are light years behind Australia at Rugby League and many other sports. I only look at Soccer,Motor GP Cycling and snooker as the only sports that you are above us in world ranking.and I don't think Motor racing or Snooker can be classed as "sports"

I think you lot had a couple of medals more than us,unlike 2004 and earlier,...just look at the medal counts for the last few Commonwealth games in which Australia & England are just about the only competitors.

He is an Australian but if he comes "home" he will be lucky to get a position coaching under 14 girls.

England have never won a championship in which Australia played for 37 years,in the time where only Australia & England were the only teams involved,when the best of 3 were played in England,Australia used to let England win the first at Wembley knowing that if they didn't they would be lucky for more than 5.000 to turn up to Elland Road or Wigan to see the decider.

I would back 5 of the Australian pack to outsprint Burgess in 50metres and I would back all 6 to beatPeacock....CARTHORSES....YES

I thought you said before on this thread that there is no such thing as a friendly between Australia & England...but now you're saying they let us win a game JUST to boost attendancies?

I could bang on all day about what sports (and other things) we are better at than Australia, but its like a stupid 'my Dads bigger than your Dad' arguement.
You won, so why rub our faces in it-Is it cos you hate the English? Who knows why, but we don't care. You're just one of many countries. Tell you what, you stick your national anthem on, and gaze lovingly at your national flag and......hold on....whats that on the corner of the flag?.....is that a Union Jack?....who put that Union Jack on corner of your flag?

You beating us is just a bigger version of the film 'Mean Machine'. Convicts v Guards

there is always world club championship

Would a carthorse put on a step at the line of defence, run through, throw a dummy on the best fullback in the world for a try? Does a carthorse run angles for his 2nd try? All this against the best team in the world, imagine what he will be like against ordinary NRL players and not the national team.

IMO he'd be faster than Civoniceva, Hannant, Hindmarsh, Gallen (good acceleration but no top end speed), White (that guy he smashed in the 1st game) and Thaiday. Watmough and Lewis would probably have him.

Also be interesting to see offload figures, I would suggest Burgess probably beats most on that too.....
