The League World Cup at the end of the season is going to be the best one ever with the amount of talent available for all the countries.

The Rugby League "World Cup" is a bit of a joke considering that the League version of Rugby is only played in the north of England, New Zealand's north Island and Australia's east coast. they've padded out the entries with Scotland, Wales, France, Tonga, Cook Islands, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Italy USA, Ireland,  and Samoa. Having said that England should be able to field a pretty decent side with the Burgess Bros, Gareth Widdup from the Storm and James Graham from Canterbury added into the mix. The Kiwis could be a good side as well. The rest are just filler......I don't think they even play league in the USA so that team is sure to be padded out with rugby union players.

Not true Firko my man, we have had a long list of US players up here all winter getting in shape.

We've got a shitload of American and Canadian players in our local Rugby Union comp, including my old Belmont Shore front row partners son playing for my beloved Randwick but I've not heard of any playing league.

Let's not forget that my beloved Wallabies take on the Saffies in Brisbane tonight. I've got a few mates coming over for the game so my old 93 year old Mum has promised to wear a Wallaby jersey while she's barracking .......I'll post a photo. Let's hope Folau at fullback sees him get more ball. I like the Honey Badger (Cummings) on the wing too, he never stops.....South Africa by 2.[/color]Coach firko your crystal ball was out by 24 points. Hope Robie rings Ewan to remind him to show backs where the try line is. Ref was shocker but worst bit was comentators every 60 seconds"we have to give the ball to Folau"

I've got to stop hoping. The Wallabies were bloody awful with no redeeming features whatsoever but Mike, enough with the Robbie Deans stuff, just because he's a Kiwi doesn't make him a better coach than McKenzie, Jake White or anyone else out there. Fluck, even Jesus equipped with six free miracles couldn't get this rag tag team of fumblers to win. I'm convinced that it's nothing to do with coaching, I reckon there's a virus in the playing stock so maybe it's time to hose out the locker room and bring on some young players that have the hunger. The Wallabies are making the other teams look even better than they are and I won't be the slightest bit surprised if Argentina hammer 'em next week. Apparently this is the worst Wallaby losing streak since 1958

I can feel my depression coming back   :'(
