| Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "BEST POSSIBLE NEW ZEALAND TEAM (barring injury)
You might be right, but if they were injured or just didn't want to play then that is not exactly England's fault - England can only play the team that turns up!
Perhaps NZ's missing will miraculously recover for the end of season tests, but NZ didn't exactly set the world alight in the World Cup! Perhaps they all prefer a winter in Hull/Liverpool/Leeds rather than a summer trip to Denver...
Personally I thought England dealt better with the conditions and put in a decent performance. Connor was excellent, as was Whitehead. I'd like to have seen Clark as an option for 9 rather than watching Bateman play 9 (back row and centre...the only thing missing was singing the national anthems though he couldn't have been much worse!).
To get 19k was a good effort though the size of the stadium didn't do RL any favours.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

If we had gone to a 10-15k stadium it would have looked full but that would have prevented more people seeing the game.
Gauging market interest for a new product is notoriously difficult. You can't sell tickets then pick a venue to match.
You could spend 10s of 1000s doing market research and still be no more accurate on the potential audience, may as well spend that on the costs of a bigger stadium and gauge real market interest.
Next time they know to try for say a 30k audience. But if the cost of stadium hire is the same why limit your potential to get more people in.

If you can add Dean Whare and Dan Levi you can addsonny bill and Stacey Jones.

Danny Levi lol, Dean Whare ??? They are absolute rubbish. Daryl Clark is 10 times the player Levi is. You’re clutching at straws champ.

Exactly, Levi’s in reserve grade now. Slade Griffin has kept him out of both Newcastle and New Zealand sides.
And Whare, while a solid nrl player (Penrith love him) has slipped well down the pecking order behind Masters and Hiku. |

Proctor and Jesse Bromwich are both suspended by the Kiwis. Whare and Levi aren't world beaters as above.
What has weakened them, and will continue to do so, is the continued commitment of the Samoan and Tongan players to their countries of origin. Taumalolo alone is a huge loss for any side.
I see Bellamy is bleating about the timing etc. The answer of course is for England-NZ to play in Aus.

Surprise surprise a few injured players return for the Warriors game against the sharks this morning, all looking refreshed.

I’d rather watch England v Tonga anyway.
Tonga will be more of a challenge than the Kiwis.

He's going to sit back for the rest of the season and count his 1.1 million dollars. I can't believe what some players are earning. |

You can’t believe that a player can be injured and not fit to play then recover in a week. So I’m not surprised. |

HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
