Not many people know this, but Chris Hill used to be a winger.'"


And that could be where he is playing before the end of the tour or maybe, drop him in at centre, a position that playing centre for your club no longer seems relevant.
It's like we've gone back 25 years.
Bring back McNamara icon_thumb.gif - I'm half joking here but, he's was taking England forward and currently, we are in reverse

Hopefully Bennett will be gone after the PNG game, which we will probably lose as well.

We are having a poor series at the moment but 2 years ago we were an ankle tap away from being in a great position to win a world cup and last season we won a series against the Kiwis.

True but it was still boring to watch. It was only entertaining as our games were tight. The selections for this tour have been odd, and he has always had a thing for playing people out of position, Bateman in the centres etc.

Personally think we'd play much better with Powell as coach, or Watson.

Wayne Bennett's selection pool for this squad was every English, Welsh, Scottish or Irish player playing rugby league in the world.

Against New Zealand it looks like we will have an Australian halve playing on the wing for us.

He's got just about everything wrong from the minute he selected the squad.

Bennetts selection of Austin on the wing is as bad as Baldricks "cunning plan" ideas off Blackadder.

Maybe we would have been better with Gordon instead of Wayne

Not even picked in the squand for the final game. That was a good use of money to fly him out and then not pick him.
Got to feel for the lad

I get the feeling Bennett is aware of the criticism of him and is trying to get himself fired. Also wouldn't surprise me if that fool Sinfield has already renewed Bennett's deal and just hasn't announced it. Picking the same squad, when you've got players there who have trained all tour and not played and given the performance of those players throughout the series, is just ridiculous.

Calling up Ash Handley then not playing him in favour of Blake Austin on the wing is perhaps one of the oddest decisions I've ever come across in professional sport. Mind blowing really. I think someone should @ Greta Thunberg on Twitter and get her to demand Bennett's resignation.

Is anyone really going to buy tickets for the England v Australia games next season if that fool is still in charge?

To a daft bloke like me, I t seems that Austin should have been playing in the halves (probably at the expense of Widdop) and having flown Handley halfway round the world, he should have been playing on the wing.

One thing severely lacking in the GB side is pace and whatever other shortcomings Handley may have, he's pretty quick.

Although PNG should be much easier to get past than the Kiwis or Tonga, we're not helping ourselves.
Austin on the wing is just ridiculous. d040.gif

Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'. Let’s not forget resilience.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32137.jpg



Bennett is clearly way past his sell-by date.

It’s just embarrassing

Bennett totally lost the plot (that's if we ever had one to start with).

What has Sinfield done to warrant "That fool"?
