Have we got our wires crossed (pardon the pun

)



I was talking about the spitting incident Rogues

Never saw it. (honestly)



Give me a time in the game I've still got it on sky+

I agree, I will be suprised if he isn't in the England team. On form it should be Mcguire and Tomkins but knowing smith it will be Mcguire Burrow with Tomkins 18th man





Tomkins should play against wales and france IMO, we should win them easily whatever team we put out. It will be good to see how aus and NZ do against them compared to us. I wish we could play PNG, Tonga and Samoa though.

I didn't think he did too badly, he didn't look as dominating as he has done in previous matches, however there are a number of reasons for that. He was behind a pack that was being dominated is a major one.



Another is that he's a young lad that has just played in three knockout games of RL in a row, something he's never done at this level before. That brings pressures that can only usually be dealt with after gaining experience of playing in those kinds of matches.



He's probably just as exhausted mentally as he is physically, you can't afford to switch off as much as you can in standard league games.

They'll be busy in the Pacific Cup. Can't wait for all the international rugby league this autumn

We're going have to agree again (frightening)



What we talked about pre-match happened in that first 10 minutes of the second half.

Why?



It will be poor quality yet again from England with stupid errors and no ideas against the tough defence of aus! We have a slim chance against NZ but not much if they bring a good team.



The crowds will not be sell outs which will just be embarrasing for our game on tv! The games against France and Wales will be walk overs and no one will go to them.



It will be an aus v nz final with aus walking all over them.



I am waiting till 2013 before I think we have a chance, that is enough time to build but I am sure that by 2011 those hopes will go as we continue to pick on reputation.

Sounds like you, the prosecution, don't even have the facts right, so how are we, the jury, supposed to respond?



Case dismissed.

There are more teams than England playing international rugby league this autumn.

I'll be in Toulouse to watch the game vs New Zealand.





Why are some rugby league fans obsessed with crowds? I'll stick my neck out and say that someone will go to the games. Let's see who's right.





Where have I heard that before?







Ok, see you in four years time.

So you celebrate your victory in what was a good close game of rugby by posting bitter ,vile and totally unproven allegations, and against the wrong player . You really are a gobe of the highest, sorry lowest order.

It wasn't the best performance of Sam's career but the way he has dealt with the pressure and expectation in his first season has been extremely admirable. Especially for one so young.



Some would point the finger at Leuluai as well last night but he wasn't helped by his injury.



We had a good go at attacking them, we certainly built pressure. Sam's ability to force dropouts gave us a chance and will be a key weapon in future years.



My main regrets looking back at the match were a couple of decisions that went against us (namely the Tomkins touchline incident and the penalty given against Mossop which wasn't) a couple of poor defensive plays from the Tomkins brothers and Roberts respectively as well as a terrible dropped ball by Prescott. You can't make a mistake like that in these games.

there wasnt much between the teams .a few mistakes here and there.saints played a very safe holding game in the second half .ultimately we were chasing the game ,and made a few line breaks which we couldnt score from .
