Simply because its is been played in England meaning that the Aussies don’t like playing over here and that we can beat NZ over here. Same happens in Australia where England players don’t like to play so the same goes for Aussie players in England.
Its happened in the world cup and it happened in the world club challenge.
I just hope that one day players will drop the whole international ignorance stuff so that we can finally see who is the best team in the world. But for this year an England win will do nicely in the Tri Nations.

Of course not, but it's also the 4 nations
In all seriousness, there was truth in what he was saying...even if he didn't understand why he was sayign it
There is no coincidence that the England team made up of Saints/Leeds players failed. Both teams play with speed around the ruck and gain momentum that way, playing under australian conditions with the grapple doesn't allow for this.
Under 'our' conditions I think we could turn them over, depends how the convicts adapt and they usually adapt well unlike ourselves. It'll be tight.
Be interesting to see if we adopt NRL rules in SL as it'll turn the competition on it's head.

winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

I can see what your saying there. Must admit I'd like to see our ptb's as slow as in the NRL to encourage smarter play from the half-backs, whether any of the current crop could cope is the question. It may take years for clubs to bring some through that would be up to scratch.
