Only if we were going for a 1-0 win!
James Graham and Sam Burgess might stake a claim int he Australian forwards.
On form, you’ve got to wonder whether McGilvary would get in on the right edge.
I don’t think Widdop would be far away either, he’s well regarded in the NRL. He’s definately behind Cronk and Morgan though, and probably Munster too.

Oz only got pushed by us in the tournament and most people said we look better with roby at 9. It is possible.

I would like to see Williams at interchange hooker but his kicking is nothing special. Gale makes the most out of poor field position and time. Maybe if we challenged for the ball in the air more we'd get better results for the risk. We seem happy to control the ball catcher.

If only we had Shenton and Hardaker in the team, our attack would improve ten fold.

He's done very well, but the natural instinct is there with Zak. Gale could play his own way because he knows Zak is there for whatever pass he gives. At the minute Gale tries to take the line on and he's got a centre who doesn't know his job and a winger with no pace. Everyone bagging Gale for not turning up in the World Cup needs to look at what he's having to working with.

Well he won’t have Zak at the side of him next year so he’ll have to get used it and change the way he plays.
I’m sure DP will change it.

Shenny was given the choice to go on tour or play in Grand Final, all because of the injury he sustained prior to end of season. Mike had the chance to let his injury heal and go to Australia, but decided to play in the final, even though not fit.

Is that official or rumour? I just think that if true it's a shame fans weren't told and can't see why it would be kept secret

I agree with you Tamworth tiger why would that be kept a secret. If true he chose to play for his club much respect but an unfit Shenton would be better than Bateman I feel so sorry for Percival the lads a natural centre but still we insist playing a forward out of position going into a world club final .. would the Aussies do this I think not

To answer the original question on this thread. NOT A CHANCE. Think it will be closer than some are predicting but while ever an Aussie coach is trying to get English players to play the Aussie way it's defeat all the way.

Fine but to be fair we've been trying English coaches too and since 1972 it hasn't made a difference
