Some Salford fan said to me and I quote "You are by far and away the most Handsome & Knowledgeable Rugby League Fan in England!"
I thanked him and went on my Merry way!
RIVERCAVE DWELLER OF THE YEAR 2015!

| Quote: Zig "Saddened's partial view of the game:
As for England, I found myself not wanting them to win. Wane is such a unlikeable character and the team he's built is an absolute shambles. It's well coached, I'll give him that, the defense was solid and they did do enough to win. But the team selection is ridiculous, some players in there that have absolutely no right to be selected. Liam Farrell is one that stands out. He is so far passed it that it's ridiculous he's playing Super League, let alone being selected in the 17 for England. I've got tons of respect for him and he's been a Super League great, but he looks ill, he looks emaciated and he'd have been torn apart. Giving him 30 seconds prevented that, but I'm not sure what his 1 carry, 0 metres and 0 tackles stint did exactly, other than hand him a cap on his career record? I really hope that wasn't what that was about, but I suspect it was. Harry Smith is a player I've criticised a lot as he's such a limited player generally. He has absolutely no threat as an individual, but his kicking game was exceptional and probably the difference between the sides. His decision making and general direction of the play was great too and he was definitely the best of the 1,6,7. Clark again with another head scratching performance. I really don't know what England see in him, or why Saints decided it was a good idea to sign him. And then they brought Walker on and he's even worse. There are better hookers playing amateur level than him.
Now I am not saying that he is anti Wigan or Wire. I think he needs to be promoted to be Woolf's assistant
You've made 2 mistakes
1, going over there
2, trying to form any logic, sense from anything any of them, particularly that mon writes is pointless, as there's bias, and absolute hatred blinding anything someone sees, the majority on there fit into the latter
The rush to find anything to criticise Wane over is laughable, he's got 2 wins, missing 6/7 of his best players at the start of a new world cup cycle, and make that 8/9 players after Makinson and Knowles pull out with injury.
Hes given chances to youngsters in Lewis/Newman/Ashton/Smith/walker and players like Johnstone/king with Dupree in the squad also (plus Smithies and Thewlis coming in I believe next test).
He gets accused of Wigan bias and yet there's 8 who have Wigan links at most, 3 just because they were born in Wigan and have never played for Wigan, 2 who left in not the best circumstances and 1 who was on loan because his parent club didn't want him (or its fans or Saints fans as were talking about them, yet he's been pretty good in both games).
That leaves 2 players (Farrell and Smith) and all nob head can do is criticise 1 of them laughably and get a sly dig in on Smith who, BTW, has been the most influential and IMO best player over the 2 games.
Woolf had a whinge about the pitch
Woolf had a whinge about the "unevenness" of the ruck speed (which could be interpreted a number of different ways, and I know what I think he was trying do I.e. try and get an advantage in the next test, because he can imply all he wants about the ruck speed and that his players wanted it quicker and ours didn't etc. But the the truth is they blowing out their backsides 2nd half).
His captain gave some kind of statement basically giving no credit to the winners.
Don't be surprised if Wane uses that as motivation
Woolf should be more worried that after the excuses of the 1st test his team were WORSE this week
Theyve been garbage, they've tried bully our pack and got nowhere, good on our lads, give our lads some credit
Yet England fans of their respective team can't wait to pile in on Wane because of their respective bias for their team amongst other reasons.

All those Wigan fans quick to criticise Woolf for anything and everything would do well to read this article, in particular his comments on helping the English game.
Excuse the pun but maybe he’s not the big bad Woolf after all….

I think it’s been more of a case of Wiganers not being prepared to buy some of the criticism aimed at Wane by Tongan…sorry St Helen’s fans but I’ve said before we all interpret things differently.
I saw those comments and also some others by Woolf and you might not like it but I thought they were a bit condescending. Making a Tonga tour here sound like a favour is awful, when it should be a huge honour for them. I don’t think it’s in that article but he also stated that we shouldn’t expect Samoa here next year as Tonga are thinking they’ll play them over there instead. All seemed a bit like him trying to throw some weight around in retaliation for Wane ruffling his feathers.

Looks like he was right - Samoa pulled out of the test series next year. Not ideal

Far from it. I’m pretty much at a loss with the international game. We’re being cast aside so the NRL can control its players and keep them based on that side of the world, with as little travel and as much rest as possible.
