test side

[baldtiger]

Watts isn’t in the squad to start with, is he? Trueman has been named in the 21 man squad.

Trueman is not named in the squad ive seen mate . Both love rugby and bbc have no Tureman in there ! I just hope hes enjoyed the experiance and is not frustrated at the pathetic performances !!
PS just noticed you said 21 man squad ! I saw the 19 and hes out of it

[Mysterio]

I don’t mind Trueman going and not being used. Chance to observe and pick up things. Experience.

So this from Bennett earlier in the week is a load of rubbish then;

Bennett says half-backs George Williams and Jake Trueman will almost certainly play against Papua New Guinea after being the only members of his initial 24-man squad not to get a game so far.

"There won't be any wholesale changes," he said. "I'll make a few because a couple of the boys haven't had a game.

"I don't want them away for a month without giving them a game of football. They are quality players and I need to see how they go."

He knows that tomorrow's game his is last, regardless of the result or performance. Good riddance.

I hope you’re right but in view of the quality of the muppets who run our sport, I really wouldn’t count on it

Where have you seen the 19?
Sky are still showing the 21 with a ‘probable’ 19 but also saying Handley could get a game depending on injuries
Can’t find a named 19 on BBC

[betts21]

Shame for truey that he didn't get a gig but what better place to educate yourself and what better halves to be round could be a good thing for us and truey all round

[flood light tiger]

Would have been better to have played with them and learn more

Fingers crossed you’re right there

[stuey]

So England upgrade to become British Lions, which should make them better, then lose all 4!!

[Stokesey]

Put us back 10 years with that performance. Picks players just because they play in Australia or the top clubs. Boring rugby. Playing players out of position. All come home to roost today.

[casjunction]

We have all bemoaned our lack of creativity this past season.
Our recruitment has been and is still being questioned.
We have had a horrible injury crisis.
We have experimented with half back combinations as our first choice man of steel was out all season add to this the woeful state of our loos.
So with the pool available to you Mr Bennett your tour record is a 100% unmitigated failure.
Living in the past no preparation for the future.
Nailed on to get his contract renewed.
Well done P. N. G.

[duke street 10]

The balance of the squad was all wrong to start with, he picked some on their reputations in the past,not their current form. He selects a hooker to start who stifles any halfbacks he plays with,and today drops the replacement hooker who improves the side as soon as he enters the field.

Then to top it all Bennett flys out a specialist winger last week to PNG as we were short of them and doesn't select him?!

I was tempted to try and go to games for next years Australian tour. If he's still in charge i won't.

[gateman]

i have been lucky to gone three tours down under of all the matchs i have watched we could only beat PNG now we are not good enough to beat them we have either going backwards or they have improved, i think its a bit of both

[braytontiger]

What an utter embarrassment. Start at the very top and it runs right through to the players. The game is rotten run by rotten people with personal agendas to line there own pockets.
Genuine RL people need to challenge how the game is been run and get a hold of it before it’s too late.
Never in all my years watching have I seen a GB/England team show so little effort and enthusiasm. There are at least 10 that should never pull on a international jersey again.

[Andrew6666]

Surely his position as coach is now untenable. 4-0 whitewash, quoted "we have gone backwards", and constantly picked out of form players based on name or club.

All of the above are Bennetts fault - if this were McNamara still in charge he would have been booted out. How Sinfield can want this guy to stay on is beyond words. Lose the dinosaur and bring in fresh impetuous in a coach that knows SL and SL players. Players shouldn't be guaranteed starting spots just because they play in the NRL.

[tigerfeat]

Sinfield seems to have got a position of power that nothing off the field he's done merits
Someday someone will call the RL out and the embarresment may end can't think of any sorting body that runs there sport as badly and as done for the last 15 -20 years
