Hopefully, but yes I agree not having anyone from this once mighty club is disgraceful.

What do you expect from England mate. Some times you can go days without seeing the sun and it constantly drizzles. Terrible climate.

I have faith that isnt the case. We always produce world class players.

55 yrs a Dragons supporter, does not stop me being proud of our Kangaroos even tho we have no players involved. Betting we will have come the next England tour.

Sad but understandable. Tho reckon Jadyn S'ua deserved a berth. As a consolation he is playing in the Pacific Champs.

The ultimate prize is to be a kangaroo RVH. I know I watch those Pacific Championships, but do I really care who wins, nope they are just fun to watch.

Same here Jd. Heart jumps when the mighty Roos win tho.

I guess so but without and Dragons players in the squad let alone 17, I struggle to not hope they lose.
Then again, I don't struggle with it too much. I hope they lose. Simple as that.

Aus played England in Las Vegas at the start of the year. Aus won by a cricket score.I reckon it is ok to post this on the Kangaroo thread guys.
Is there anyone in the NRL that can orchestrate the demolition and completely demoralize a side like Jillaroo half Tarryn Aitken does in this game. Am blown away by her talent and vision at sniffing out a try. And she is not playing a third world league nation as her poor old victim is England. Eat your heart out Cleary, Moses, Dearden, Reynolds, DCE. Not to forget Kyle Flanagan
Enjoy a magician at work.

Watch it, your no spring chicken.
Hows the Pommie weather?
Other than Lindsay Smith for Yeo, do you see any other changes for Second Test. Dearden did not make much impact, how about Moses for him at #14. Staggs did not impress me, specially his defense. Prefer Bradman Best, good pace and agility for a big guy and can hit hard in the tackle. Wish we had him. He reminds me of Gene Miles, you remember him.

Harry Grant will lead the Roos on Sat in Sec Test at the new Everton ground. Huge honor Harry. I bombed out as my two choices to start, Best and Moses will remain on the reserves bench and as expected, Kevin Walters’ only change to the 17 is Yeo’s replacement Panthers team-mate Lindsay Smith who steps up onto the bench. Carrigan moves to lock, while Collins will start at prop. I guess Collins has seniority over him, but I rate Smith the best of the two Lindsays.

Is there anyone in the NRL that can orchestrate the demolition and completely demoralize a side (and crowd) like Jillaroos half Tarryn Aiken does in this game played in the glitter city of Las Vegas in Jan. Am blown away by her game/player awareness and vision. She put her foot on the throat of the hapless Lionesses and never lifted it, by having a major hand in most of the Jillaroos massive try haul. And take note that she is not playing a third world league nation. Eat your heart out Cleary, Moses, Dearden, Reynolds, DCE. Cant forget Kyle Flanagan

A bit chilly in Paris . On match day should be sunny and a lovely 11C. The talk over here is no changes to the 17 apart from Yeo. Game 3 the ressies will all get a run after we win . Sold out so at least the atmosphere will be decent until we score.Watch it, your no spring chicken.

Gene Miles I watched him play to my eye Bradman fades in and out of games whereas Miles he was much more creative. Brett Kenny was his centres partner in 86 what a combination one very elusive, quick with a swerve that would leave defenders grabbing at thin air and Miles built like a brick s.h. Back in those days the centres stood next to each other.
Looking forward to the 2nd test and a win then a few beers at the local

Kenny was a class act and Miles big, fast, skillful and intimidating. What a partnership. Yes back in those days having both centres playing off each was great to watch. These days they are separated with an edge back rower taking the absent second centre spot which for mine removes much of the spectacle.
