    Good first try for England, don't think teams go out the back like that often enough.

    Fuck the poms are dirty though, couple of bad little bits early

    Very average first half from ostrailia.

    Also from what im seeing in this match Tomkins would be much more effective if he held the ball out in front closer to the line, he tucks it up too early, as if every run is a kick return.

    Right on cue Slater runs off a scrum and goes through thanks to promoting the ball.



    Lol @ 'and Slater whacks Burgess off'

    I cracked up when I heard that.
    Melbourne players must have some sort of an arrangement with Sam Burgess.:lol:

    Tates had a bit of a shocker so far

    Tate was rubbish for the whole game.
    So was Bird. Made decent metres, but didn't do the little things right at all.

    Yep. They won't do any worse than the 17 that played last night.

    No he wasn't. He was pretty ordinary in attack but he defended well.

    I don't understand the Tomkins love. Yes, he is a quality player, but let's wait until after a couple of seasons in the NRL before we call him great.
    If I remember correctly, he's the same bloke who said out of an International side, only 1 Aussie (Cameron Smith) would make the team?

    If there was an International 17 picked. There would be only 1 maybe 2 poms picked. The rest would be Aussie & Kiwis.

    Yeah so let's drop Scott to the bench after one ordinary game in which most forwards struggled to go forward. Let's play Myles at second row even though he isn't a fringe forward. Let's drop Cronk after one ordinary game. Let's put Jennings on the right even though he's a left side player. And let's drop Morris for Hayne who is a total liability on the wing.

    Lewis was the only forward who averaged more metres per hit up than Fifita. Eat my arse cheese heads.

    Good intensity to the game. Nice opening to the cup, although a bit too much retardation from Australia early

    Apart from the fact that that isn't even true (Tamou made 7.33m per hit-up to Fifita's 7.3) you can't act like mpr means nothing when he's shit ala Origin, and then boast about it when he's decent.

    Not that surprising, both missed the opening 20 minutes.

    Pretty sloppy game. Best part of it was hearing Voss commentating. Was expecting some pommy bastard. Wish they sent an Aussie over with him though instead of fucking Halligan.

    Yeah it was tough on the starting props with only an 8m or so defensive line.

    Wasn't Morris limping at one stage? You might get to see Hayne on the wing after all.

    I knew you'd bring up that .03 you spud. I can boast about it when you knuckle heads are calling for him to be dropped.
