Is that the answer get a foreigner to run our national team, England should be played by English, and managed by English.

I never realised Nick Griffin posted on these boards

Its called English pride. You ever heard of it. Nothing to do with that fat idiot Griffin.

Exactly, there's no need for the clubs to develop the players further. We make players good enough for SL and that's it, until the competition gets better we'll go nowhere internationally.
IMO we need more of our players going to Oz, but not many will. They'd rather stay here and have glittering careers in a sub-standard league than go test themselves against the best in the world. I've got a lot of respect for players like Morley, Ellis & Burgess giving it a go.

Are you not from Jersey?

Is Tom Briscoe always this poor? He was at fault for 2 tries today and has no work rate whatsoever. He needs to get involved far more and actually do something because he may as well have not been on the pitch today. I always thought that he was a promising young player but he was very poor today and last week.

Too many over the hill, or never even got to the top of the hill, over seas players in the British Game. Too many poor coaches from under 6's through to teh pro game. Too much emphasis on kids winning instead of developing skills. It's just like the English football team

No I am from Hull, born there played for hull FC, I work in Jersey. I just have the opinion that win or lose England should have English players and staff

Without wishing to get drawn into a handbags type discussion, that's a bit like asking "Is Sam Tomkins always this poor?" Briscoe was poor today, but if he played like that every week, he wouldn't have been playing today. Have another look at the contributions of superstar Wigan pivots Tomkins and O'Loughlin and come back, love.

He doesn't seem to have brought his end of season club form to the international stage, he seems to run the ball alot more out of dummy half for Hull and get offloads away.

Briscoe was so bad he almost made goulding look average

I agree they were poor, you will get no arguments from me there.

With Briscoe it is not just the fact that he has been poor, it is his lack of work rate and general effort what concerns me more, for a winger 3 runs today is a disgrace.
