Maybe so but the intensity was still stronger than over here and thats the reality.
I want England/GB to be competitive just as much as the next man but the WC truly showed our inferiority in the backs. Until we start teaching the basics correctly we are never going to be able to compete.
The idea that the likes of McGuire could compete down there and play half is just not true, he doesn't have the basic skill set to do so.

what made it intense was that both teams were poor and it was a close game
I'm afraid you're in denial chappie.
Regardless of that game, it doesn't make any difference to the reality that our 'best' got their backsides handed to them time and again less than 12 months ago. It doesn't change the reality that we have professional rugby players that can't pass, tackle, run good lines etc. It doesn't change the reality that British RL is so far behind the NRL it is unbelievable. It doesn't change the reality that to the Australasians, SL is a figure of ridicule and so are our 'best' players.
I suppose we can always keep making these threads up that x could do this and x could do that. Funny how, whenever x plays these players from the 'poor games' in the NRL, x looks garbage.

did you watch the WCC?
mcguire defence was exposed for what it is.
danny mcguire has great potential to be a good player in the nrl.
on current standards his defence is well below par for a 6.
You really are an idiot - why not answer your point about half backs making 30 tackles in a game - prove your point and then you might actually rise above the status of bafoon - of course you cannot - that is why you are a bafoon
Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

Can't pass accurately both ways, can't control a game and he doesn't even direct the forwards at the side he is at now. This is before you start with his defence, which is turnstyle like.
Danny McGuire is a support player who profits from lazy defence, which he won't encounter in the NRL. Imagine the laughing stock the SL would become if we sent McGuire there claiming to be a genuine half back, it doesn't bear thinking about.
Lets leave McGuire to look brilliant against the poor defences he comes up against over here.
The same man that's scored 3 tries in the last 2 grand finals and the only man to score in 3? Saints' defence must be so lazy!

'pre 2refs system' defences where tough,hard etc... because the game was so regimented,everyone knew that the ball was going to be driven in 4 or 5 times right up the middle...
'post 2refs system' the game has been blown wide open,fast moving,free flowing,gaps galore,exciting RL...
the likes of danny mcguire.....and rob burrows would thrive in a 'post 2ref system' NRL imo...

Hello.
I'd like to point out that in your signature, you have Wigan finishing 3rd this year and reaching the Grand Final as well as Warrington winning the Challenge Cup.
Therefore, I will not be taking you seriously.
