Poor crowd should have been at least 60000, we are supposed to be moving the game on!?
Rangi Chase exciting playing AT TIMES - my opinion is he is not consitently good enough through a game
for International duty.

There are plenty of so-called Rugby League fans who have sat on their s watching the game yesterday on tv and called our our sport for being "a joke". People who love to see the sport "fail", even though yesterday was a success all round other than the result. It really sickens me. The RFL were virtually giving tickets away for yesterdays game and still they wouldn't attend.

The biggest joke though is that those people then suggest this game should have been played in the North of England. When was the last time a GB or England game in Yorkshire sold out? When was the last time a GB or England game in the North got an attendance as big as the one yesterday??

I saw a coach in the services on the way down from Shaw Cross Sharks, werent they playing yesterday? ok it could be any age group who went but they were there..

Coco, you are absolutely spot on.
Chase is not and never will be English.
If he was better than we have then maybe try him (although it still wouldnt be right)
Rob Burrow must have broken a few mirrors and run over a couple of black cats.
He should at least have a spot on the bench and probably a starting spot.
Like Tomkins he can break defences with elusive running and pace of the mark.
We got hammered by the ref today, disallowed try, no sin bin/ sending off for a deliberate strike to the head, allowing tha Aussies to hold down too long in the tackle.
Having said all that, there was enough on show today to give us some real hope for next week and for all the moaning about the crowd figure, people should get of their backsides and support the team.
9 of us had a great day out today and for £10 a ticket.

Just got to say I went to the match and had a great time pity about the result tho!

I went to the game. 2 games for a tenner. Should have been more there, but what more can the RFL do but offer you tickets for £10??
Beer was expensive and rank but if youve been before you expect that.
England made a fist of it, but Oz looked like they were in 3rd gear throughout. Whenever they stepped it up a little, they scored. A couple of different decisions from the ref, a fit 17 from start to finish and H'ton tackling Williams and it could have been closer.
