Perhaps Tomkins might consider trying to catch some of the kicks, it might help.

Deary me. Have you ever just tried coaching the basics McNamara?

What happened to marking the tackled player? A bloody joke - again!

It's not mcnamara dropping the ball or leaving large gaps in defence, the players need to step up, it's too easy to just blame the coach

So these players have come on tour with no previous experience of defending at
The play the ball? I'm surprised they've even been picked if that's the case.

The next 20 minutes will show whether England has the character to be competitive with Australia and New Zealand.

Godinet did the same thing to Wigan at Belle Vue earlier this season. Very good player from dummy half.

Personally I still think we'll win, but it's still no doubt very alarming some of the trys we have conceded.

To be fair, an international coach shouldn't have to coach passing, tackling and catching - it should be the minimum requirement for the players really.

Isn't he normally too busy skippering England to defeat against international RL giants like Italy?

He shouldn't need to be coaching the basics to international players

I don't watch the NRL, but based on watching this Aussie ref, do they ever have the balls to give a decision? He goes to the video ref every time even though he's in good positions!

He should've identified that Godinet likes to scoot from dummy half and dive for the line though, I've seen him do that in SL.

He probably did but he isn't on the field - you can take a horse to water!!

Didn't think he'd got that when first seen at full speed, looked like a drop over the line.
Well done Tomkins.
