| Didn't think international RL as far as GB/England was concerned could do anything without the backbone being made up from Wigan born players. Got to admit, Sinfield, Roby, Graham, Yeaman, Westwood were Trojans tonight. Let's hope they do the same next week and really give it to the Aussies. Graham was outstanding, reminds me of Brian McTigue, a prop who plays like a stand off, takes it all without retaliation, does his job brilliant. Well done.

| I didn't see one NZ forward tonight that got the better of his opposite number.
We won that game by bossing the pack.... even the backs dominated the collision in the tackle.
Hall was superb.

| They were all great, the most balanced, professional performance I've ever seen from a GB/UK/English team. Can't criticise anyone. Rugby league is great.

The best thing he has done is pick a team and stick with it. There is no doubt that consistency has helped us get to the final.

It was a dominant performance. But to beat Australia we've got to be better defensively on our own line and a hell of a lot better in attack. We need to post points when in their 10m area and based on the first half it's debatable if we're capable of it. We need to give Chase and Tomkins more responsibility in those areas and miss Sinfield out.

| Quote morleys_deckchair="morleys_deckchair"does Mcbanana get any credit?'" As a player he was always 100 %, as a coach, especially of Bradford, he looked out of his depth. As England coach, he's had the chance to look at players, much as the Aussies have been doing for a while, who could fill the gaps we so obviously lacked. So in that sense, yes he does deserve the credit, especially after the criticism he's had. The team tonight were superbly drilled and a lot of this has got to come from the coaching team.

yes he does.
he's scoured the world for a team bringing in several nrl players plus chase. english or not some of these guys may be, this is the way in modern sport
playing a settled team only bringing in players when injury occurs
not panicing after a defeat
playing an attractive style of rugby - how many times did we see a tony smith side, for example, playing it tight straight down the middle. he knows he's been blessed with flair and finishers (hall, tomkins, briscoe) and he's using them.
his next challenge is to make sure the team belive they can beat the aussies next week, his team selection will revolve only around who to leave out if ellis is fit, and the team are playing well enough to win. for me its about the mental side of coaching this week coming

| I think he has done well.
he learnt from the Australian defeat..... his team selection and his substitutions worked tonight.
his team got on the front foot and stayed there.
