yes but I think a big shake-up is clearly needed in the Origin series, it used to produce the goods in that the players kicked on to international success from there, but of late . . .

Where did it all go wrong?

The English game needs the boost ,not us !

3 years vs 40 years.

yeah i know who needs it more.

i'm sure we won a series in 2007...

England won a series in 2007, plus the World Club Challenge in 2007 and 2008. New Zealand won the World Cup in 2008.

The last thing that an Australian team won was the 2006 Tri-Nations.

the last time england beat australia in a series, we were talking about landing a man on the moon

From the Horses mouth....
Manly will play their strongest team for the second half on Sunday. The first half will be used to give everyone on the touring party a run out.
Either way....no rookie team

There's always one person who has to spoil an entertaining argument by introducing facts. Shame on you gutterfax.

Maybe so but the last time GB beat the current world champions in a test series was under 2 years ago, the fact remains GB have won more in the last few years than Australia.
