@johnnywsports 100%. They sadly can't win, could be the first England/GB team to beat the Aussies since 06 tomorrow (unlikely but never know) and people would say it doesn't matter

@JamesSaintLatic All the negative rugby league people would be complaining if England were signing/doing autographs anyway. “Why should a team that’s lost the series be signing shirts? “ WHINGE

England players signing stuff for fans outside every RL stadium every week in the UK. Probably one of the most accessible sports in the country at the top level. Aussies do it whilst here for a month. English people saying they're supporting the Aussies now. What a world 🤣

@Jamie_Bate One bad game, one close. Will happen when the other side is as big as 1/8 to win a game haha Your issue appears to be you think England should be better but I bet if you had to predict pre series you wouldn't have us within 10. We nearly scored 3 times, Young twice and Knowles

@JamesSaintLatic 10-40 aggregate score James and counting, Aussies could have played both games with 16 men and still won, scoreline aside we never looked a threat with our five drives down the middle.

@Jamie_Bate Nah I think we will have they've enjoyed it. They've just won by 10 points haha you're talking like we lost by 50. If Aus play Nz, Samoa, Tonga next year there's a chance they win all by more than 10. Just crazy talk that you're so desperate to put England down

@JamesSaintLatic I’ll be surprised if we see another Ashes for the foreseeable future and people will be moaning about the Aussies not taking it seriously but what benefit does it have for them ?? They could stay at home and play a more competitive series against a number of opposition teams.

@Jamie_Bate I thought he was right coach going into the series but the end result will decide whether he is or not. I don't think any players who aren't playing make any difference but that's just my opinion.

@JamesSaintLatic Sure I’ve read tweets defending him or at least offering another explanation to the issue He picked the wrong squad, picked the wrong team and employed the wrong tactics, having said that it’s the only tactic he knows, we had an opportunity to be taken seriously and he blown it.

@Jamie_Bate Yeah explanations that I think are fair. Dont think he deserves all the abuse, also don't think he deserves to stay if it goes bad tomorrow. We won't get any better though IMO. Not until we make big changes across the game. Don't think that's outrageous to say haha

@PeteONeill_ @Sharks111064831 How has Jake Connor not being picked upset an entire fan base who couldn't knock Saints out with him as their star player? It blows my mind. Is the evidence not right there why he didn't make it?

@Sharks111064831 Same fans moaning about who has been picked are the ones wanting to meet them 🤣🤣 Sooner they give it some yorkshire bloke the better

It’s hardly the same. We see the English lads every week. People just moaning for the sake of it now. Plus, the Aussies have got nothing else better to do.

@Jamie_Bate You're one of many people who don't read my tweets I think and keep suggesting I'm wane in haha don't think I've praised him once since it started 🤣 If we get done in tomorrow he should go. Won't change anything like because the problems are too deep rooted but worth a shot.

@JamesSaintLatic #WaneOut he’s let the nation down.

@TomHooley_ @johnnyddavidson Wane lost in golden point and McNamara lost with 10 seconds left to NZ. Saying they weren't anywhere near is mental haha

@JamesSaintLatic @johnnyddavidson Got us to a World Cup final, The rest of them weren’t anywhere near

People will say changing a head coach may have little impact. You only need to look at when the Socceroos appointed Guus Hiddink in 2005. A world-class coach who could get the best out of a group. The result? Australia qualifies for their first FIFA World Cup in 32 years and pushes Italy, the World Cup winners that year, all the way.

@TomHooley_ @johnnyddavidson Beat Tonga? Haha Bennett did a good job tbh, got the best out of us really but anything he achieved still didn't address the main issue which is the gap to Aus

@JamesSaintLatic @johnnyddavidson Bennett has done something Kear, Smith, McNamara and Wane have failed to do

@johnnyddavidson But it is what it is, I doubt we will agree

@JamesSaintLatic Germany has beaten the Dream Team.

@johnnyddavidson That's not on the regular haha Englands hope shouldn't be that could occasionally fluke a win. They need to rebuild an entire country from top to bottom and that may include the coach but because we can't make signings we can own develop to bridge the gap & that'll take decades.

@johnnyddavidson It can work within any sport within reason. I doubt a German basketball team could start beating NBA sides on the regular by changing coach. Wayne Bennett performed fairly similar in his attempt and he's one of the all time greats.

@JamesSaintLatic James, it can work in any sport. Look at Ireland in rugby union, or Germany in basketball

@Baynesi83 @johnnyddavidson He did but saints as a club were ready to be a great club here with strong foundations. England are miles off Australia in every single aspect. A good coach can improve an underperforming side quality but you can't turn around a national issue in that time.

@JamesSaintLatic @johnnyddavidson Justin Holbrook literally changed saints overnight.

@johnnyddavidson Some sports are much more suited to being able to achieve as an underdog, though. Football being one.

@JamesSaintLatic I disagree. There are a lot of similarities in coaching elite professional sport, which is why there is knowledge sharing between football, NFL, rugby union, league etc

Surely when this squad is announced at 12 he gives Williams the Welsby treatment? Regardless of the series, if we beat Aus for the first time since 95 as England it's a pretty big deal. Need to make sure we're giving ourselves the best chance 🙏🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@cambibs 🤣🤣🤣

@JamesSaintLatic Not ashamed to say it made me hoot with glee

Well said Paul. The game wouldn’t be possible without the agreement of every party who have any decision making power on the matter 👏
