| Quote NickNJ="NickNJ"Interesting he touches on the different styles of play offered within the NRL and SL, very true and no coincidence we failed with a team of leeds/Saints players who play with speed of the play the ball.
The main reason for our poor showing in the WC for me was the grapple, it slowed us down and we never had momentum. Now with the two ref system in the NRL I can see the grapple being eliminated from the game and speeding up the play the ball in the NRL...so for once, I can see the Aussies copying our game and not vice versa. Riddiculous how we don't play to the same rules!!'"
Christ someone with a sensible comment about our failing in the World Cup. I thought I was going insane as nobody else appeared to notice it.

| All the Aussie games were ref'd by NRL refs bar the final which they lost! Even if they had all played under the same rule interpretations we had a poor squad selection. 22 going instead of 24.
Awful team selection. The attack didn't have a clue and the defence wasn't worthy of the description. Smith was not up to the job and out of his depth.
Add a divided squad and that was the recipe for disaster.
What we got was a disaster.
However it wasn't the disaster that it would have been if the WC had been played in this country.
I hope the report into England's World Cup isn't a whitewash.

All the ‘grapple’ did was highlight how ineffective we are at opening up defences. Personally I wouldn’t mind the play the balls slowing down, it would mean a team would have to work to break teams down. Leeds/Saints success is based largely on quick PTBs and broken field running, without that England looked lost.

| Im bored of this wrestling excuse. We played rubbish, we dropped the ball, we passed like idiots, we missed tackles. What because they wrestled on the ground a bit longer than in SL?!? Get over it. We were over confident and badly organised.

Ah, the Kiwi's have always been proping up Super League you moron. Hell it was the Auckland Bulls winning Super League a few years ago.
Stop seeing what you want to see.
