Watching those 2 games has proved even more to me how shite this game has become, the cap and summer rugby/SL has killed of the game IMO, where are all the hardmen? where are all the classy players that could give the Aussies a run for there money, how many of todays players would even get a game for any or those side back then let alone the GB sides from that era, i can only think of 2 and IMO that would be Peacock and Morley, all others woul;d get nowhere near, i'm glad that fans from Cas Wakey etc are happy now that the sport has been brought down to their level, the way i see it RL is less of top draw sport than it was 10/15 year ago.
