Jesus Wept the RFL cant win can they?
they stick an England game in the Heartland of the game in a brand new stadium that isnt too big so we dont complain about empty seats on the TV . and people still complain.

there is one thing wrong with International rugby league in fact one thing wrong with Rugby League the apathy of the fans.

It wasnt sold out in a town that borders Wigan Warrington and St Helens who can boast the biggest club crowds in the game...

views on Wembley then please....not in the heartlands?.... too big? .....to far away?...wrong time?...or cant be ar$ed watching a team that isnt your own club team.....?

the latter most probably...

There is an hilarious but all-too predictable combination of one-eyed Wigan tery and bitterness in this thread

Why does England need a full-time Coach anyway?

The Aussie coach has a full time day job with Wests and does his coaching for the Aussies when the team gets together.

I wonder what McNamara actually does Mon-Fri each week apart from going on expenses fuelled trips to watch RU and football games with Stuart Pearce.

Yep. Because in actual fact this is the best coaching team the England squad has ever had.

If you aren't actually on 'Desperation Island', something tells me you should be.

We don't need a fulltime coach IMO and the problem with us having one is we end up with 2nd best because good coaches want proper fulltime roles in superleague.

I'd go back to part time and give it to Nathan Brown.

Nathan brown the coach who cant win games at the tough end of the season.

Id give bluey a go before brown at least he can motivate a team.

In the end england won and no more can be asked. save the snipping till after the game next week.

Weve tried GB and OZ coaches from the top flight none have impressed in the last 30 years.

As for moaning about playing in Leigh. 10kfans would have looked rediculous anywhere else so they got it right.

and you would have which 3 coaches in charge ?

Smith and wane as his assistant

That World Cup with Tony Smith in charge was a disaster. He should never be allowed near an International team ever again!

Mickey Mouse, Goofy and Pluto would be something of an improvement.

just as i thought cruncher you've got no sensible reply
if you were being sensible then i apologize mate and i just hope that one of your 3 candidates isn't going to be after wane's job if things go pear shaped

It isn't my job to appoint an England coaching team that can compete on a world stage.

I wonder what the RFL's excuse is.
