Then as soon as Bateman got the ball any momentum was killed stone dead. I agree with previous posters we missed Hardacker when we got close to the Aussie line. What must he have been thinking watching yesterday.

I was taking my information from the BBC they got that wrong, but 2019 is far too long to wait, the home nations RU have annual autumn internationals against the best in the world why can’t we?
Also I say again this tournament was a failure, only 40,033 for a RL World Cup Final in the Mecca of RL?
and a like for like comparison of the 2017 and 2013 World Cups show that overall attendance was down by 85,000. You may have had a nice time over there but the hard facts are it’s gone backwards a long way in only 4 years

Our Semi v Tonga was played in a 30k stadium
If the Stadium had been treble the size it would have been full. There are 80k Tongans in Tonga and more in NZ
They all wanted to be at the match

Defo missed Hardaker. Think Percival would have been much better than bateman, thats a bizarre decision not to play him

Thought the same myself, widdop and missed the play. Hardaker would have made it. It was the a lack of faith.

Having had a quick glance at what the Pie Eaters are saying on RL Forum, they seem to think that Bennett has no faith in Prrcival’s Defence, hence Bateman’s selection.
They also think that Gale was out of his depth and that Williams and Widdop should have been the halves.
