What's a "complete myth"?

| Quote: DHM "What's a "complete myth"?'"
A myth is an unproved or false collective belief that is used to justify a social bias.
Therefore a complete myth is one that is 100% unproven or false.

| Australia by 16 i'm afraid...Lockyer's last game they all will be firing for his send off
Still we can give ourselves a small chance if we give him & Thurston less space to work.

| This is the best chance that we have had in my memory watching RL!
the team is good enough. and the difference is 'this time' is that they know they are.
We should have beaten them at Wembley, all be it for two game changing decisions and i think we would have done.
NZ should have been down to 11 men at the weekend, and we still hammered them with 13.
This is the time people on here started looking forward and not back!
Get to the final and support the boys to a historical win. i recon well do em...

I shouldn't have expected any better than that I suppose.

| at Wembley we were the stronger team for long periods. Once we lost Graham, Ellis and Peacock it was inevitably going to be the Aussies' day. Once the referee decided not to award us anything it was game over.
If we keep a fully fit pack, and we get a fair crack of the refereeing whip - then we have a great chance.
They will come out flying trying to blow us off the park early. If we can stick with them in the early stages, then I am pretty confident.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

My sentiments exactly , it drives me nuts every time we play them , they target our playmakers , whereas we just seem to stand back and admire there's
Anybody can look world class given time and space , quite simply make sure the 1 st time either of them touches the ball , they get tackled with it , from then on the pressure alone will do the job , and if we do get our hands on them , make it count , they do , as Sam can attest to , there was no quarter given to him last week was there

| Defending on the edges is key IMO because I think England will dominate in the middle but the Aussie half-backs are likely to ship it out wide around midfield and create some holes.
At the end of the day we've said it all before but at least this time there's more belief from the players and fans alike for a long time
I think the bookies odds of 3/1 are about right..

Sorry guys, but I think you'll have to wait till 2013.

I am with you, want to see Locky get a good finish.
England are moving in the right direction but not there yet, this is a big opportunity though, this is not the best Australian team that has ever toured.
I wish there was a decent neutral Ref to officiate the game. (even a bad one, as long as he is seen as neutral)

| Yeah the refs have been bad and I can see one of the countries having a big sook after the game and probably deservedly too.
And I totally blame the NRL/ARL and RLF for it as we are the only nation with a 2 ref system, yet the big internationals come along, we use our refs that haven't reffed by themselves for ages now.
Either make all top line NRL, ESL, SOO, Internationals a 2 ref system, or scrap it altogether.
