Agree with you Dunbar, a Leigh fan on our forum's been going on about 'the worst England team in 15 years'. No it isn't, it's the youngest team in 15 years and 13 years ago, Paul Atcheson was the GB full back.

Indeed and let's not forget Richard Horne on the wing in 2003! Very good player Horne but never a winger in a million years

So you are comfortable with their back row running at our centres than our own back row. You can't hide people at this level. They either tackle or they don't.

let's be honest,this isn't the greatest aussie team to represent their country - probably the best chance of an england victory (or at least prevent an embarassing demolition job) for a few years ? England HAVE to keep their discipline to have any chance,especially with the aussie ref - Good luck lads !

Re: Australia vs. England 31 Oct 2010 : Sat Oct 30, 2010 3:22 pm  

key will be to be within 6 at HT. If we let them get more than two scores in front it'll be all over.

Look at the end of the day it's 13 vs 13 on a RL pitch with subs and anything can happen, even though we go into this game as massive underdogs we can still win.

The Aussies aren't anywhere near as good as they used to be and add that to the injuries they already have it will by no means be a walkover imo.

48-10 to Australia

England can win it if they aim up. Especially with a damp track.

so many errors by england. At this level you get punished when you give away the football!

WTH are these video ref decisions?!
