This boys club selection bias of England RL isnt a great thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea the NRL was a full time Nines competition though, there was an awful lot of players on the pitch during the Grand Final. England RU Coach Eddie Jones : "I spent a bit of time up at Hull and I like the full back there Connor, he's a tough, skilful player" Jake Connor : "I've never played Union, it doesn't look that hard, you never say never but it looks too boring for me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedfordshire Bronco Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Am I being naive about 9s? Why are Watts, Burgess and Graham playing? Surely we put the quickest / fittest backs only in a 9s team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man of Kent Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 A learning experience for England. 9s isn’t simply 13s with fewer players. Need speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattrhino Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 What an awful team selection for a 9s comp. Not sure all the hate Mcgillvary is getting! He has been our best performer over the last 3/4 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave T Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 It is really telling when the Kiwis dont even bother trying to win the ball back from kick offs. They know it takes England around 23 seconds to sprint from one end of the pitch to the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Eel Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 The way we set up in this comp is just an indication of the level of importance placed on it. (as a warmup to the Lions tour) Shame, as the competition is great and needs developing further. We were schooled by players who have far more experience of this format of the game.

Old Frightful Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 I think the Wigan side that won the Middlesex Sevens in 1996 would have faired better than England in this comp. With two less players.
