Message: [QUOTE="radiowarrington, post: 2805342, member: 9220"] General thoughts in response to gusthebronc (from a biased pom) Fast centres and wingers who did not get any decent ball (when they did they scored) Props were strong but had big breathers after each carry - they played the ball slow Second rowers seemed to be mixed up between going centre channel and wide - but were ok. Thaiday was great with the crowd - he seemed to enjoy himself. He got applauded when being subbed because he applauded the crowd and I think hes probably still signing shirts and autographs now Halves and full back - never really linked and did not take on the line - they were the most disappointing part. Kicking game was not good In the end - they looked as poor as Warrington were a month ago- both teams are at the season start but the English season is 3 weeks ahead of Aus If the game gives you a) money (the two UK games will bring in $2million - my guess - which is ok for a "friendly") b) good publicity c) a meaningful run out d) a fantastic pre season team bonding camp e) a good experience travelling for youngsters (and media etc practice for the young guys) f) a break away from brisbane or sydney media pressure g) game time against an unknown quantity Those have to be positives [/QUOTE]
