It's got to be DP on a part time basis. Danny and shez can hold the Fort for the odd day he's away.

Wane second choice as he's easily getable but I think the fever people have gone into to get him the job is ill conceived. He plays an unattractive game based on defence and 5 drives and a kick. But he is a motivator, second only to John kear.

Our game thrives on flair. DP and he should have had it 2 seasons ago.

Whoever gets thejob, including the unlikely option of retaining Bennet, there needs to be a clear out of old greats such as Graham, Hill, Hall and Magilvery(?). This tour sould've been used as abulding exercise for the world cup but it's too late now.

Sinfield has a cracking record at 'running' teams doesn't he?

Has the game passed all the reins over to sinfield? Jeez, this guy has limited time in a role and now decides how our international team goes forward.

Would anybody have put David Beckham in charge of English football? Not a chance.

Sinfield has been the figure head at Leeds for 2 of its worst seasons in super league history, they've broken the salary cap by an enormous amount and have spent the most in transfer fees in that time.

Could the rfl get any worse, don't answer that, there's lot of skeletons coming out of the closet with Bradford never mind the rest.

your spot on about the RFL if someone dose not take this chance with what is happening at Bradford to demand a full and independent inquiry into the goings on at the RFL and Nigel Woods in particular over the last ten years they may never get such a chance again

I'm hoping the new bloke in charge completely clears the decks whilst he has no blame and the people who have done the bad stuff are still around, though maybe not still employed by the rfl. Otherwise he'll just be another to blame in the coming years.

Being the bad stuff out now whilst people are still losing it over. Sonny Bill.

They should drop Bennett, on his head preferably.

When you think of the great GB lions sides there have been and look at what Bennett and this lot served up I find it rather sad really

Where has Jackson Hastings been on this tour ???? - Has anyone seen him play in each of these games yet ???? Had he gone missing ?????? Seems to me he did and didn't get much involved !!

Austin on the wing ! - what was Bennett thinking ! - and he's supposedly a top coach !!

No Zing - No Passion - No Spark - No Creativity - No [Cut out the swearing] idea !! Looked like they had gone over there for a Jolly !!!

Bennett has to go. If he gets another deal, we face another few years of this tosh

Why was Bennett the GB coach anyway. He was contracted to be the England coach so why is he suddenly coaching GB as well? Should have been someone completely separate to the other home nation teams (not that I believe he should be the England coach either because he's clueless to our game, but that's a separate issue)

If anyone has the Fox League App. It doesn't paint a very pretty picture of what the Aussies think of how our game is run.

TBH they are not far off the mark

Has to go down as a lost its way farce of a tour.

Had an opportunity to cross over with morning audiences crossing over with the kick and clap and was as flat as anything, total non-event.

I would arguably say that after a sabbatical of the lions it has set them back even further!
