Being able to make a good read in defense.

Fullback positional play.

being able to pass to your left, and right, if you are a halfback.

How about not running into the back of the only team mate within your half of the field and giving away and obstruction penalty!

What about a prop thinking he can throw lobbed passes to his without getting intercepted.


Just simple, basic, under 9's like mistakes. And these are your best players!

Riley and Mason are our best players?


And here's me thinking you knew something about the British game.

Ok lets look at your best player.


Paul Wellens is slow, cant tackle and has never known what positional play is.....and yet he'll be picked for England.

Your halfback, Burrow, cant kick, has no passing game and cant tackle. Oh and he needs a broke, retreating defensive line to run, and then needs a defense to not scramble to make for than 5 meters.

All your forwards are soft. All of them.

Your wingers are terrible under the high ball and have no idea where to be in defense.

Your are clueless in defensive positioning. They leave their inside defender and winger like a shag on a rock in defense. They have poor hands, they have zero skill.

You name an English player and I'll tell you the massive, game ending problems they have.


Do you realize that when the mentioned the Challenge Cup Final on the Footy Show and the like that they were all laughing about players in the side and how "He's STILL playing?".

You're competition is a shambolic joke. You're players are a waste of space and your coaches, well, they dont coach.

To quote Shakespeare ( who was English, not Australian, by the way ) every single one of your posts is 'full of sound and fury, signifying nothing'.

Freak has just called Morley soft.

I think he's definitely lost it now, he should come back when he can talk sense.

Has any English player ever made such an amateurish, hilarious, costly screw-up as Billy Slater in the world cup final?

Still brings a smile to my face ......

Interesting how Cameron Phelps, playing well at Full Back for Wigan currently has had to be taught the full back basics by Kris Radlinski.

Clearly Briers was left exposed by the fact that Bridge couldn't slide across. However that's not really the issue, the question is did Bridge try to tackle the dummy runner, did he 'buy' the dummy? If he did it's a try, if he didn't it's obstruction. It would be very similar either way.

You can see him watch the pass go back to Brown (behind the dummy runners) and then turn and run his right. There's no suggestion he is trying to tackle the dummy runner, the dummy runner is simply directly in his path.

1) Wellens might be a crock of crud but one thing he has is positional play. Its how he's got away with stealing a living for ten years.

2) You mean like Michael Monaghan? The guy cant pass to save his life, clever player but its bloody frustrating watching ANOTHER one of his passes be intercepted.

Our coaches are your coaches!!! English coaches cant coach because all the coaching jobs are taken up by Aussies who, according to you, don't coach.
