I thought he tried his heart out and ran the show second half. Even in the first half i thought he looked our most dangerous player and at least tried to give us some direction.

Briscoe-5 did ok

Briscoe-5 did well the lad when on

Smith-5 defence was bad but tried hard.

shenton-6 defence solid made a decent break what lead try.

Hall- 6 same has shenton solid in defence.

Mcguire-5 tried hard.

Tompkins-7 never sore him first half but second half said sod it had a real crack at the Ausses he will pinning for another chance at the Ausses.

Morley-3 has not been good enough for 5 years.

9 Roby 5 tried but to many mistakes.

Graham-5 ok

Peacock-3 worst game i have seem this year.

Ellis-9 proved a again he his the best foward in the world.

Sinfeild-7 played his best game for England.



Eastmond 7 when he came on Inglis went missing

Westwood 6 did ok

Burgess-7 did well

Crabtree6 did well right size for the job.

Yes.

I'm sorry but I think there was 23,000 people there today who would have "tried hard" if they were on the pitch. Trying hard but being completely useless isn't acceptable at this level.

Briscoe did nothing wrong in defence, and didnt get a chance in attack.

Care to explain why so low? He was one of the best out there for us tonight.

Fair enough maybe a little harsh on Briscoe, but I think its fair to say that this has come a year too soon for him, needs a full year of Super League behind him where he scores 15-20 tries and has some confidence imo. Fox must be wondering what he has to do to get a go.

Justification?

Crabtree was one of, if not the best England player on the pitch. McGuire was by far and away the worst.

Be better than Tom Briscoe ?

Front row didnt do a lot today. Probably the best of a bad bunch. Burgess and Tomkins are the only ones who stood out today for me. Thought Lee Smith was shocking.

briscoe did absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever, made yards and looked harder to tackle than pretty much anyone else on the couple of occasions he touched the ball. taking him off at half time was a f****** disgusting decision. scapegoating a 19 year old winger who was left defending half the width of the pitch against 3 or 4 of the top players in the world is bang out of order, and thats exactly what tony smith did today!



smith made that decision with the sole intention of taking the heat of his leeds darlings inside briscoe who were nowhere to be found whenever more than 1 pass went in their direction.





ratings wise... its not worth bothering for anyone other than burgess and ellis. everyone else was completely and utterly out of their depth and wouldn't even get a score. the second half is irrelevet to me, australia completely stopped. infact i reckon they were deliberately sliding into touch and not finding touch with pens to get some defensive practice.

Look love it or Hate it Rugby League in this country is a third teir game whilst in Oz it just about there national sport. here is a fact for a in team of 17 there was over a quater of the team was born in and around Cas a very small town in Yorkshire so that telling you how small our game is.
