“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif



To be fair to Hill, he has performed better than others in the squad in the 3 (+1 warmup) games

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Frederick Douglas:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_30596.jpg



Well, that hasn't cheered me up, I was just starting to get over Saturday.

Would any England player get in the Aussie or Kiwi teams?

I don’t think so.

What about Samoa or Tonga,

I doubt that too.

Not a very helpful post, I know.

But I think it reflects the current situation.

English Rugby League is in a poor state in my view.

Problem is, no one wants to take responsibility.

The issue here is that England built their self belief on playing nobody. Greece, France and a poor (at that time) Samoa. When finally they come up against a team of worth it just wasn't there.

We beat PNG convincingly which was the opposite to the result when GB last played them.
