Re: england v australia
Watching the game I thought the NRL based players tried to keep the ball amongst themselves far too much. Hodgson rarely went left and the attack didn't really click until Roby spread the ball both ways and brought Gale into the game. Even the Wigan supporters are saying on their board that Shenton should be left centre, unusual for them to praise of of our players over one of theirs.
I just hope Bateman doesn't go to second row and keep Mcmeeken out.

Re: england v australia
The thing is if left edge is just so good and yet Bennett put a second row as the centre, effectively mulling that side. He also happens to be a right sided player at his club.
I said after the Samoa match mid year, that if you play Hodgson, you don't need a half back as he wants to do it all. Also oloughlin wants to play that role aswell, rather than the Cas way, of another prop. Which is what the Aussies do also.
Hodgson made too many errors and roby should be in. Move oloughlin to second row, taylor to prop, Currie to left second row. Percival to left centre.
Hill was ineffective after a poor season.

Re: england v australia
According the official stats Hodgson made NO errors. Having said that I wouldn't play him. He thinks that he has to do everything! There was a case in the second half with England attacking the Aussie line, the ball came to Hodgson in the middle, instead of continuing the move to the right where we had men over he put in a dumb kick - attack over! He did that sort of thing constantly in the four nations last year.mart0042 wrote:The thing is if left edge is just so good and yet Bennett put a second row as the centre, effectively mulling that side.

Re: england v australia
Just don't rate Hodgson, never have done. Didn't rate him when he was at Hull KR, and have yet to see him have anything near a half decent game for England.
But he plays in the NRL so ........therefore he must be picked, by the coach who only watches NRL games.
For my money he's not a patch on McShane.

Re: england v australia
He was guilty of not getting up after a tackle causing us to be short on our left and resulting in a try. Australia didn't get caught onthe wrong side of the ruck that often and they lay on plenty.Aid wrote:According the official stats Hodgson made NO errors. Having said that I wouldn't play him.

We weren't smart against them. It was always going to be a test in Australia but now that some of the team play there, we should be closer.

Re: england v australia
We've been trying to play like the Aussies for 30+ years and still cannot match their robotic style of play. Perhaps we should just concentrate on playing attractive, fast flowing rugby like we did for the opening try?mart0042 wrote: ...We weren't smart against them.

Re: england v australia
Damn straight we should. The Cas way of throwing the ball around would be alien to them.

Re: england v australia
He must have been picked on 2016 form. Probably the same time when they were last regularly on tv. Bennett clearly hasn't seen much this year and is getting poor advice from poor coaches, ie anderson and Betts.takethetwo wrote:How has Chris Hill not been dropped.

Re: england v australia
Lebanon shouldn't be underestimated, they looked pretty lively against France and showed a good team spirit. They might not be World Cup class but they are not going to roll over.

That attack where Hodgeson kicked when there was an overlap was where any chance of winning the game went. Terrible optionAid wrote:According the official stats Hodgson made NO errors.

Re: england v australia
hodgson can't pass if the man is more than 2 metres away. that's why our kickers performed so much better when roby came on. he can deliver from acting half almost as good as macca.
