Question marks over Lewis defence probably meant he wasn't selected

Is Sarginson still in Cam Scott's back pocket?

Hopefully Jake and Griffs exclusions from the squad only make them hell bent on proving Wane wrong and their performances for us go up another level.

I noticed Jake was taunting Sarginson after a try down that side. I wonder if he already knew he wasn't in the squad and was pointing out to Sarginson how the feck did you get chosen and I didn't.

Match was played in Melbourne GB. and I was there to see captain Schofield give a comprehensive master class in No 6 play- he truly demolished the Aussies in the second match of the last Ashes series held in Aus. We were susequently narrowly defeated in Sydney to lose the series 2-1.



Being a rotten pedant here but Eastwood kicked 6 out of 7 attempts.-sorry!

No worries Freddie, I am a bit bleary eyed when I watch those clips, its my go to night time viewing as an insomniac. Schofield was brilliant that game, the chip and chase for Offiah's try had the Aussies bemused and what a game that was. I don't see us within 50 points of them now, if they pick their best 17, probably even their next best 17. The gulf in class between us now is probably as wide as it was in 82 when the Invincibles came over and rewrote RL history, in my opinion as an avid fan of the NRL.

Since arriving in 1968 I have been to all matches here in the Ashes series and my favourite was the first in 1970. It was the last time GB won an Ashes series and the side was coached by our own Johnny Whiteley. Having been hammered in a brutal opener in Brisbane we won the next 2 before crowds of 60,000 at the SCG with Roger Millward and big Cliff Watson my favourites in the series win.



In a bit of trivia my namesake was in the team for the 2 wins.

Freddie, I'm sure my late dad was your namesake's biggest fan. He was always speaking about him. Slightly before my time as I didn't start watching till the late 40's.

Radford writing the teamtalk.



Really likes class at times and doesn't think before he speaks.

Not sure if Radford is trying to be funny, sarcastic or he actually believes what he's said? He himself seems to have learnt very little since he left or understood why he got relieved of his role he's just put his merry band back together and continuing in the same vein. Hopefully Radford will get a rude awakening and wonder what hit Cas and his comments will give the team a bit extra to fire them up to put in a very solid performance and come away from Wheldon Rd with a very good result and the 2pts.



As for not watching Hull's performance I'll take that comment with a pinch of salt

Probably better served concentrating on his own disastrous start rather than making flippant comments about the opposition.

Never thought he managed Connor well, use to have digs at him in the press.



No need to say that about him, pretty stupid with the form he is in, he will be telling his players to wind him up no doubt.
