I think it was a bit of an ironic thread if you take Sally's other posts into account and that it was posted pre game time.

However it seems some have taken it to heart therefore proving the irony?????

Any left centre who can pass and tackle would have improved them as well

Atkins would have made more of the chances presented to Cudjoe

Brough would have gained us better field position and controlled the game at least as well as either Widdop or Sinfeld

Lunt would have been more professional than McIllorum and therefore he would have been available for today's bench where his contribution would be greater than Burrows

Did Ablett even get used today, if not then surely Mossop would have been better off the bench in a game against a physical Kiwi team.

Exactly !!! RL is a 17 man game so why play with only 16

I dont know. Maybe we should check with who picks the team and who decides on the interchanges.

I would suggest whose responsibility it is but then you just get accused of whinging.

Some very sad people involved in RL I'm afraid. Utterly pathetic comments.

Fortunately the skill and determination on show today from some of the worlds greatest sportsmen and athletes enables me to not worry about such pathetic, ridiculous comments from a minority of deluded, bitter and backward so-called RL fans.

Not even bothered reading through all this
Whoever started thus thread

Just f**k off you sad t**t

Funny how it is Leeds fans who are all saying what a glorious dereat and accusing those who think differently of being sad. Are they worried that Leeds players might get the blame.

Typical narrow minded bunch of RL fans,

A great opportunity for the game lost.

IF England RU win the WC next year RL is fookkked up big time in this country . No tow ways about it.

RL has shot itself in the foot with it's performance in this world cup. Two big games lost them both when it could have been so much better but due to monumental cock ups and crap team selections etc we have lost that chance.
This is a disaster . The question is how much of a disaster we will have to wait and see

All criticisms aside, that was the best game of RL this WC has seen. I for one am proud to support our great sport after that game. And for the record, the team selection was spot on.

Bit like giants play off performance then?

Lots of doom merchants and bitterness against the coach because he fifn't pick players from their team.
Have not agreed with Macnamara's selections by a long way, but today every player gave their best.
Fantastic game of football, and an excellent advery for the dame.
Only disappointment was the result.

Seriously, what's wrong with you? England put in a superb performance in a brilliant game against the World Champions in front of nearly 70,000 people in the national stadium and live on the national broadcaster.

This is what you come up with?

You don't deserve Rugby League.

Stick to your bizarre Sin Bin conspiracy theories.
