Burgess won't give up on England, I'm sure of that.

Gutted, absolutely gutted. Sam Burgess is god, Sinfield was brilliant but missed a fairly easy kick. I don't blame him for the last tackle, the 3 all pushed up, the inside man - whoever he was - was lazy (too tired).

Was Burgess's lazy tackle a consequence of not using the 17th man, not outright but it certainly contributed. Cannot fathom why the hell Bananaman chose Ablett then didn't use him in a game he would have known would be draining physically & mentally.

Great game. haven't been so gutted since the Ricky Stuart last minute winner in 1990 at old Trafford. England deserved the win and everyone played their part.

It's easy to pick moments that changed the match and shortcomings in individual moments by individual players.

But in reality that was a superb team performance. Some had better games than others but that is always going to be the way in any team.

Sometimes luck is not on your side (all too often with England/GB RL)

All the players deserved their place and nine games out of ten that was an England win.

I think we should all sit back and congratulate the team rather than start a pathetic Sinfield got this wrong, Ferres had a bad game, tomkins was no good cr@p.

Well said

I dont believe in luck.

The best definition i have heard is that luck is being able to take advantage of an opportunity when it arises.

This WC England had two great opportunities. This is not a great Australian side and this was a weakened NZ side IMHO

Durham Giant you are a prat, not a great Australan side and this was a weakened NZ side, what a load of rubbish.

How is the NZ side weakened and any Australian team that has GI, billy slater, Cameron smith, Jonathan Thurston, Cooper cronk (do you need me to go on?) is not a weak side.

You are a plank of the highest order

It's always a weakened NZ side. It's always ''the worst aussie side in a generation''.

Every year ''we'll never get a better chance''.

Stupid thing is it's probably the best NZ team to come over here since 2000

Christopher you are a PRAT do you really think that New Zealand are better by losing Pritchard and Vatuvei.

This is an Australian team which despite all the players you mention has no one as good as Lockyer and the forwards are weaker than they were four years ago. So no it is not a great Australian side compared to others that have come here.

You are a PLANK of the highest order

( see i can do your insults bigger than you do them)

You didn't really do them bigger you just copied them.

you wrote prat and plank

I wrote PRAT and PLANK. They look bigger if i had just copied them they would have read prat and plank but they dont.

Not only do you need to go back to school could i suggest you visit an opticians.

Jeez you really are quite immature aren't you.

That's not exactly true.

He was once asked by an aussie journo would he like to play Origin. He replied "he would love to" but he also said that he wouldn't as it would mean giving up the opportunity to play for his country.

It was then reported that "Morley wants to play Origin" "Morley would play for NSW" etc etc. It got distorted that he'd jack in his GB jersey for the chance to play in the greatest game in the world ...yawn, etc. It was media nonsense.

How do I know? I asked mozza himself just at it started to appear in the media.

Point being he wasn't close to agreeing anything.
