Quote: deslawson "Our national side is the strongest its been for nearly 40 years,the australian and new zealand sides who game over here were both badly depleted,and we managed to defeat new zealand 2-1 in the recent tri series.We managed to reach the semi final of the 2013 before losing to new zealand who were thrashed by the aussies.His england coaching record is won 16 lost 11,hardly inspiring bearing in mind several of those wins are against france and in the 2013 world cup lost to aussie and new zealand,but had beaten fiji ireland and france.In the 2012 tri nations we beat france again and wales.In th 2011 world cup we lost to aussie twice but beat wales again.His record is dreadful considering the talent he has at his disposal,virtually everytime we play aussie and nz we lose.Just think about it won 16 lost 11,and most of the 16 wins are against france,wales ireland,fiji etc.Wayne bennett will be rubbing his hands at the wealth of talent we have as a lot of our players are stars in australia,and yet mcnamara couldn't do anything with.
I rest my case.'"
England have shocking half backs (I include Brough in that) and all Englands world class players are props. You can have the best props in the world and still fail if your half backs are gash and unfortunately thats what we have. Wayne Bennett will fail with England ultimately due to this.
So who do you suggest for us then? Wont be Tony Smith (even if he wanted to come) as his record with England was shocking. James Webster was shocking with Wakey.
I don;t see the likes of Trent Robinson knocking down our door anytime soon so I wait with baited breathe for better (realistic) options
