Thats debateable after scoring 12 against NZ second string team lol. Seriously Beale shouldve been treated like a girl out on the wing.

Don't care what anyone says, that first try was about a metre forward.
NZ second string team? They were missing nowhere near as many quality players as Australia, sothat argument makes no sense to me.
NZ has way better players than England firstly imo, and England leaked 26 against Samoa and it would have been even worse if the Samoan halves weren't so godawful.

Ok so Aussie missing Brett Morris, Jarryd Hayne, Billy Slater and Thurston from backline which is huge but not really thay bad when you have them replaced by Greg Inglis, DCE and Mansour. You replaced 2 of the best FBs in the world with the 3rd best which could also be the best depending on who you talk to. You then replaced the best halfback in the world with the 2nd best HB.
Kiwis lost their number 1 hooker who is probably in the top 5 NRL hookers and replaced him with Leuluai who wouldnt start in many teams and Lewis Brown who is a backrower.
Then RTS pulls out and is replaced by DWZ who also pulls out and is replaced by Beale who is a centre and not that good either.
So whos team is affected more?
Havent even started on the forwards

I havent posted for ages but KE, your comments have struck a chord. Sheens is a bigger myth of a coach than Ricky Stuart. He fluked a premiership with the Tigpies in 2005 when everyone else imploded. The dragqueens had the best team but the dopiest excuse for a coach in Nathan Brown so Shees bsically did a Bradbury.
He won a few premierships with the Raiders when he had Wayne Bennet telling him what to do and the team he had could have been coached by Brown to win. Belcher, Meninga, Mullins, Nagas, Daly, Stuart, Clyde, I could have coached them. His record other than those is decidely mediocre. His time with the cowboys and his remaining years with the tigpies is testament to his mediocracy.
He's "coached" an Australian Team with some all time greats in Slater, Smith, Cronk, Inglis and Thurston at their peak, and had peptide Paul dosed up leading the forwards. Wouldnt take much tactical nouse getting this team to win, give it to Thurston or Smith. His main opponents were a squad coached by an equally inept muppet in Kearney. How could he lose.
So now is it any wonder that because we've lost a few stars, and some aren't as young as they used to be, that this myth has no idea.

Maybe start on the forwards because that's where I think Australia are missing their regulars and struggling.
That was blatantly obvious the other night. I mean we had Aaron Woods & Sam Thaiday as our front row!

Sheens needs klemmers size bad not robbie farrah wasting a spot on the bench ,the poms will punch holes through the middle like the kiwis did ,serves sheens right for such idiotic selections
Seriously. Our front row is a joke. Atleast people will appreciate Matt Scott more when he is back. Why the hell are Lillyman and Tolman sitting at home, sure they aren't Matt Scott but they would be better than Woods and Thaiday.
Sheens could be jobless by Sunday night. Would be fantastic.
FFS Channel 9 for the ad for Australia vs England they are like it is australia vs the burgess brothers like their the only players on the team. He'll their not even the best players on the England team. ****ing Channel 9
Chill out dude... It is advertising, the average joe doesn't recognise English players. You entice people to watch by doing stuff like that
