It's ridiculous and makes a mockery of the whole thing.

its either that... or Austin has been playing on the wing in training and killing it.... So he has thought its worth a go.

Austin scores a couple of tries and he looks like a genius.

Is there a better player than Austin for wing.
I'd say not...and I bet him to earn me a few quid.

Got to say - seen virtually nothing from Widdop except for his goal kicking that justifies the word 'marquee'.
Then again virtually no-one comes out of the Lions tour to date with much credit.

So that's 3 tries, yes, 3 tries in 240 minutes of RL.
All 3 scored within 10m of the opposition's line, in the last quarter of each game, and barely ANY attempts from outside the 10. Dull, risk free, rubbish.

Is this fella trying to bore the opposition (and the watching public) into submission? British RL REALLY is going down the pan, in terms of entertainment

Well done NZ - fully deserved to win.

But I have to say I hate Maguire's methods.
Same when at Wigan.

Slow the play down, hands remaining the ruck, slow to get off taķing advantage of the refs not taking action.
I really hate it and it turns me off the sport.

But as said above, there's virtually no creativity from GB.

For those that missed it, there's a "highlights" package on at 1315 on BBC1, which lasts 75 minutes. Good luck to the programme's editor, for that one.
