| Quote DABHAND="DABHAND"You are talking about superstars on 2-3 thousand quid a week,and they can't do the basics.Well the so called superstars have been found out and i hope the clubs have the sense to realise this when their contracts are up for review.Let them get paid a contract commensurate with their world standing which to me is on a par with P.N.G.If they don't like it they can't all go to other super league clubs and the Aussie league certainly won't have them.Lets start paying players on performance instead of throwing money at average players.Its funny how some of the players who seem to have a high opinion of themselves have been well and truly found out ie.,Wilkins(alright showing the BBC the contents of his fridge),Wellens,Pryce,Gardner(bet he wished he had stayed at home)Sinfield and on and on.Let me hear one more so called pundit say we are not far off and i will scream.Fourty years ago we could beat the Aussies and most of our players were'nt pampered like this bunch,they had physical jobs to feed their families, besides playing.Give it a fortnight let the dust settle and we will just go back to our same old ways.Oh for someone to come in and sort it out from the bottom to the top.While ever we get Stevo and Eddie telling us we are watching superstars in superleague the players believe they really are superstars.And on a final note,reading the Aussie press they say that agents and coach's are at all of the games trying to sign players,strange the Aussie's are not interested in our superstars.'"
Yes that Man!!! I agree 100% with what you say. |

I don't buy it. We shouldn't be as far behind as we obviously are |

| I was hoping to see a fresh looking England team for this World Cup. Alas........Tony Smith has picked the same mis-matched team foundation as Nobby had. OK......These lads seem to prove their worth in superleague playing with their respective clubs.......But each and every one of them would've got "Does not mix well with others" on their reference after this competition.
The alarm bells were ringing three weeks ago with the PNG scare. The winning mentality and body language just wasn't there.
Come on Kiwi's  (well......gotta support someone in the final eh?) |

Quote DABHAND="DABHAND"Was not referring to quality imports. When 30odd per cent of super league players are imports there is no wonder we are in trouble.If the top Aussie coach can see it then why can't we.'"
Might be the same article from the telegraph you posted earlier.......although it has absolutely nob all to do with him, he is totally right!!

He is totally correct IMO, with the exception that importing isn't confined purely to club level.

| Quote Sheldon="Sheldon"quick fix mate, every chairman/ceo in super league should hang their head in shame as should the people who say they dont care about international rugby and only care about their club side.'"
When the players care,i will care.
Have been to test matches all over the country,World cup finals twice,wembley for tests when we had a better team...used to love going to the test matches but not now....the team is picked on who you play for and who you are.
The team needs a total overhaul and maybe a new coach as it looks as though Smith hasnt got a sodding clue.
Put it this way...if someone said to me,what would you sooner have..A England world cup win or C/cup or G/Final win for Hull FC........FC win for me everytime. |

Same here mate. I'dve loved an England World Cup win but it would barely hit the radar in the national sporting conscience anyway. The RFL must shoulder the blame for years of failure when we have SL teams with upto 11 imports.
I was over the semi defeat yesterday by mid afternoon whereas a defeat for Hull has me down for the week. |
