Bennett may as well just pick 17 forwards, what a bore fest that was.

If this is where superleague is going then crowds are going to drop off a cliff

Exactly at least we know why Bennett likes Pricey so much
and had him as his assistant for a year.. proper snoozefest

Just a quick one as i've completely missed the reason, but why don't Australia want to play us this year? They are happy with New Zealand and Tonga but not us, it just seems really weird to me. Do they not take us seriously or is there another reason?

Think Mal Maninga was interviewed last week and said that this international period is about developing the oceanic teams and giving them more exposure, that’s why we’ve had this International 9’s Competition for the first time.

Not enough time in the tour.
Tours are generally 3 to 4 weeks.
As mentioned the nines effected the NZ test that only had time for 2.

Ahhhh righty fair enough cheers

Hardaker & Philbin injured! Austin on the Wing!

Blake Austin to play on wing. What a farce. https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/sp ... RkjHplQdSk

Is there a winger in the squad with better wing credential than Austin?
I don't think there is...I'm going to lump on him.

Heard it all now..a HB on the wing...bet he touches the ball twice all game...

there's a thought on twitter bennett might be ing about, and despite the stated intent, blake may start at half, widdop at fb and lomax on the wing.

Whats happened to coote? why isn't he being considered whatsoever?

Why haven't alot of playera been considered at all, why only 2 Wingers and 1 centre and 6 half backs. Because Bennett couldn't give a about GB Lions at all, this is a weird build up for England combinations. Bennett should go for me and an English coach should take over.
