Markoasis Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Anyone else going Sat night ? I serioulsy think England have a good chance of finally beating the Aussies in a big game and to actually win something of serious merit. I'm always torn in these games because I've always simply love watching the Green and Golds ......... they never fail to amaze me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, but tbh I'm only going to see the Aussies, think they'll destroy us - a few disagree with me but the game ending so close at Wigan was more a result of the Aussies taking it easy rather than the brilliance of England. If they'd needed that extra yard they would have found it imo. Anyhow should be a good night out and not bad for a tenner!

Oafc88 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) Super League's shame continues. It wasnt all that bad, i felt we matched them for over an hour. If only now we can keep fitness up for the full eighty and also try and ram home more points when we seem dominant in the game (one such oppurtunity was when burgess broke through again after his first try and opted to keep a hold of the ball instead of passing to tomkins). It would also help if we could keep the good young un's we currently have and not have to suffer any switching codes. Add into all this is that that aussie team is probably one of, if not 'the', best rugby teams of all time in either code. No excuse i suppose for past performances from England but the last qauter tonight they were breathtaking. Tonight hopefully has shown signs that we can start winning torunaments in years to come!

We did, but the Aussies were poor, it was our mistakes which gave them the game on a plate. Last 20 we threw the towel in - but Bentham the video ref had a shocker. We left at 28-16 to get back for our train. Couldn't believe the Kangaroos had banged on another 18 points! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched it again, the Aussies were superb as Eddie Hemmings said in commentary "I'm bloomin'sick of it, year after year!" Burgess was outstanding for us, young Kyle has a lot to learn and Jammer's panicky offload probably cost us a 12-0 lead, instead it was 6-6 within seconds. Turning point of the game. Three cracking tries for us but Billy Slater was different class and i'm privileged to have finally seen the great Darren Lockyer in the flesh.

I've been lucky enough to see Lockyer a few times, most notably when Saints beat Brisbane 18-14 at the Reebok in 2007. The other times are when they toured in 2004.
