IS it finally our year? : Sun Nov 13, 2011 8:26 pm  
It's been 41 years. For decades the Aussies were invincible, then the kiwis came along in 2005 and shot that myth to shreds. Backing up in 2008 and 2010.

Now, are england about to join the party?

2009 : australia
2010 : New zealand
2011 : ENGLAND ?

This time next week we'll be celebrating a milestone moment in english rugby league history.

We have the pace in the backline, the finishing ability, the direction and kicking in the halves and the pack. We have the continuity and the improvement game on game (partly because of continuity).

Sure you could say the aussies have all of the above and they do, that's why next weeks game will be nip and tuck.

But we'll take it, I can smell it, and so I think, can the players.

“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”

Every other game has followed the 2009 pattern - the final doing the same wouldn't surprise me

probably not, but our 'stand outs' are our young players. So maybe not this year, but we look like we are building towards success.

Edit: We also need to look at Australia, they are losing Lockyer next week, Big Civ has gone, is there a prop coming through who is better than the best we have? is there a stand off who will be anywhere near Lockyer? As good as Thurston is he isnt Johns, and as good as whoever Australia bring through I dont think he will be as good as Lockyer. There is nobody in this Australian Pack who is as good as Webcke, Civ, Hindmarsh, at their peak.

I think we forget sometimes just how good the Australians have been over the past few years and how difficult it will be for them to keep up that level.

Re: IS it finally our year? : Sun Nov 13, 2011 9:14 pm  
but your forgetting.... Kevin Sinfield and James Graham are rubbish, anyone affiliated with anyone other than Wigan dont deserve to play for England.... We have no chance!!!

apart from that then we have a real chance after the 3 performances this last month. The aussies are nothing to be scared of!

It's all about goal line 'd'. If we can find some of that we might have a chance, if Sinfield devolves some of the playmaking to Chase. If we continue to be so pathetic and let them stroll over at the first hint of a deep ball to a runner it'll be the same old story.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

If they give Lockyer and Thurston the amount of time and space they did at Wembley , they will destroy us again

Re: IS it finally our year? : Sun Nov 13, 2011 9:36 pm  
I don't see why not. If we get the basics right and complete or sets like we did last night we've got the strike power to put some points up. This Aussie side isn't one to be feared and has a recent history of not turning up in finals, although admittedly against New Zealand not us
