It comes as no suprise to me and many others, we are not good enough and I do not think we will ever be. We have had years of picking the wrong players and a whole raft of other built in excuses, face we are crap. Lets not forget that was not even the Aussie first team of choice and its a good job it was not or the score could have been 80 or 90.
Our game is dominated by the domestic scene and if we could restrict the oversea's content we could have at least tried to keep up. There is no way the laws of this country or the EEC will permit a it and the chairman of the SL clubs will continue to pay big bucks to Aussies stars.
Its time to consider the international rugby league and its benefit to the game. I like it and have always supported it, but I question the wisdom of investing money constantly into a system that is clearly failing.
I hope we do not reach the final, I really do
International RL against the Aussies is now dead and buried
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.;

He set the ball rolling for Aus, he had a simple high ball to take with little pressure and made a right c**k up of it. The only major thing he had to do all game, you can rave about his good marker tackles but when it came down to one key area you need your winger to be solid in, he messed up!

Too right, if Burrows and Price are out, who do we have?it'll be McGuire and Roby, which is an embarrassment to our game in general, we really are poor at developing youth, too much spent and invested in overseas players,
