Wasn't blaming the Aussies at all, just saying that with more players training at a high standard within clubs, the chances of finding International standard players are going to be higher. Whether that happens is a different story, but you can't predict what is going to happen to 'the standards of play' when its a new idea introduced to try and help.

Think some of Smiths interchanges and re-shuffles was amateurish decisions. I know a lot of things that went wrong, was through certain players inability to perform in certain positions. Yet honestly think that the reason we lost this was down to Smith and his in match decisions.

This is the team i'd play next week IF we get through.

Wellens, Gardner, Gleeson, Senior, Smith, Mcguire, Burrow, Morely, Higham, Peacock, Ellis, Buchanan, Purdham subs, Graham, Langley, Roby, Pryce.

Best of a bad bunch imo.

lets face it, by and large the squad is wrong, so we can't make a lot of changes anyway.

True......too many average players in that squad,just because you play for sts and Leeds doesnt make you good.

Play off for second and third place next week.

It does! Gardner scored loads of tries!!!!

Spot on, woeful selection of players.

Even sadder thing is that there are not many players not selected who would make a great difference.

yup. Not sure how many kids are coming through either that would make a difference in the future.

BBC1, Davies/Paul and Carney are spouting guff!

Or what ever he`s called these days

Anyway

Take a bow

You have to say he`s been one of the stand out players of the world cup

always gives 100%, has a great talent, definately had a stormer in the world cup.

Turned it off as soon as Carney started talking!! What tripe!
