| Continuous casual racism by the commentators, constantly referring to England as “the Poms” yoy would not teger to a Jamaican team as the N***s or An Indian team as the W*gs but then again its Australia would expect no less than that backwards bigoted nation.

| As the Australians are not interested in international RL all the home nations should have boycotted the tournament anyway. Send out a message to arrogant ARL they are/gave ruined internatiobal RL so why should we only play when it suits them.

| I don't get why we went so big. We seemed to try to play one-up rugby which is never going to be effective in that format, especially if you don't offload. You know you're knackered in 9s when you're using Williams to take in a hit-up straight at the kiwi line.
I thought Tomkins looked our best halfback, can't see what Austin brings ahead of him based on that tournament. I backed the selection of McGillvary but he's looked well off the pace, struggling with basic things like knocking a ball dead, and coming back inside when the ball carrier runs him out of space.

| Great day one for the men and women no so much today.
Lacked genuine pace in the men’s side. Hall and McGilvery great in the 13 a side game but not speedsters anymore.
Would like to have seen Gildart, Liam Marshall, Makinson or Charnley in that format

38352_1407962301.jpg Packs Win Games
Great Packs Make All Backs Look Class
#onceawirealwaysawire:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_38352.jpg |
|
| 4 props
2 oversize wingers
3 halfbacks
Swapped a prop for a halfback mid way....
Not a pacey 3/4 in sight.
What was the coach staff thinking?

| Well Chris Kendall just pretty much gave the title to Australia with a terrible call there. No idea how they gave that try, I could tell in real time Feldt lost the ball.

20333_1393344959.gif Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

Spot on, Bennett has been very naive with this 9s comp.
We played Test Match cricket in a 20/20 match.
Why pick props? Then pick 3 and 3 halfbacks and 2noversize wingers who are out of form and slow?
Ridiculous in my opinion, we should have played a normal team without a 6, without the props and the 13. We should have thrown it around more and kept the ball alive but we seemed to want to play the percentages and the game was over before they had chance to do anything. The worst part is we had zero speed, does Bennett watch Superleague? By the his squad picks I doubt he does.
Theres umpteen players in Superleague who would have done well in 9s but not so well in the 13 a side 80 game.
Players with speed like Liam Marshall, Oliver Gildart, Dan Sarginson, Mark Percival, Tommy Makinson, Adam Swift, Josh Charley, Nial Evalds, Josh Griffin, Jake Bibby, Stefan Ratchford, Brad Dwyer, Mike McMeekin, Joel Tomkins, Ryan Hampshire, Johnny Lomax, Joe Burgess, Zak Hardaker, Jamie Shaul, Jack Walker, Danny Kirkmond,

Yep. The only reason I can think of for going with the team he has is he’s going to use most of them in the test series and is using the 9’s as warm up

Pom isn't a derogatory term. It is equivalent to you saying Aussie - which we don't have any problem with.
In fact, my father was born in Cambridge, and my nickname for many years was little pom, because my father was big pom - and it never even occurred to me to be insulted by that.

Or it’s a cost saving exercise.

Offensive or not, it's not the same as calling you guys Aussies. That would surely be calling us Brits? Pom is rhyming slang for immigrant isnt it?

Good to see he's exporting his undoubted skills down under, after trashing Salford at OT.
