Well done Aaron on a great performance as well as bagging a try

England were great until McBanana spoke to them at HT

We will need to be better than that to beat PNG let alone the Aussies and Kiwi's!!

Off back to bed now for a few more hours

They looked jetlagged and tried a few tactical changes. Kevin Brown isn't good enough either. Well done Aaron.

They were quicker and more inventive than England in the Second half, and it showed.
Shame on Ellis for giving away that last minute Penalty.

just watched it, and yes we will obviously need a vast improvement, but the 1st half showed glimpses of what we can do, especially tomkins, lets hope morley aint to injured, i hope with another weeks training we will see a big improvement from our lads, lets hope so, go england

i doubt that would be the whole 17 next match

I don't think it will be far off TBH ...

Lets be honest McNamara sucks as a coach, his record at Bradford bares that out. He was the only guy available who wanted the post which also says alot about the international game.

I didn't even know England where playing this morning lol.

Good 1st half for England and NZ Maoris much better in the 2nd, a couple of poor decisions from the Video Ref, who must have had his eyes on back to front.
We lost a lot of cohesion when Sam Tomkins went off who had another good game. The players would ve benefited from that tough game and will look forward to the coming games.

Main issue for me is that no matter who we pick or where we play them, we have nobody capable of providing a decent kicking game (especially long distance!) Tomkins and Brown are ok near the try line but neither of them has any great ability at gaining position from deep on a regular basis. Deacon does it for w*gan and Brough does it for Huddersfield. I don't know if Robinson or Widdop have a decent long kicking game but if they don't we are in trouble. With no Sinfield/Eastmond we are really struggling for a long distance kicking game.

Looked fine first half, add Graham and Fielden to Morley and Crabtree and we have a fair old pack.
Ellis, Burgess and Loughlin looked good.
