I reckon we have a good chance, best pack by far.

Mmm, not as good a start as I hoped for! The kiwis were running straight through us and benji was on fire.

I think we should move Sam Tomkins to full back and Robinson to scrum half. Missing Morely/Peacock in the front line and the centres look a tad on the small side!

Sorry folks but on this weeks performance I can't honestly see them winning a game

Looks like England have gone backwards in the 4 years we have been here and until they remove their "Super League" blinkers and start supporting and promoting the game from junior level and up I can't see it improving.

Such a shame for the fans that have come over and for the likes of Gareth Ellis and Sam Burgess who are streets ahead of anybody playing in Super League at the moment and must be embarassed at Saturdays performance ( not theirs though!)

Yes, they are not going to win on Saturday that is for sure.

But actually, I believe that they have come a long way from the 'team' we saw at teh 2008 World Cup.

We could leave Wellington Stadium proud on Saturday night that they had at least put up a good fight against the World Champions.

Some good young lads learning and building for the next World Cup.

For anyone thats interested, I plan to be in James Squires on Russel St at noon on Sunday and will probably look to move nearer the ground at some point, probabaly to richmond (not that I know anywhere round there mind!)

bit too far for me to go for a pint lol but I will be in the Caxton most of the afternoon of the 13th (Final day) before weaving my unsteady way to Suncorp :thumbup:

May see some old friends from our days at Wakey even though it is highly unlikely England will be there.......hopefully some of the fans will.

Just looking at our flight schedule, I think it could be more like 12:30 - 12:45 by the time we get to James Squires.


All times are GMT -12. The time now is 1:45 am.
