What, no consideration of him building up a team of losers in the last eight seasons into a stronger squad and winning a series against a NZ team full of players who earn their corn in the 'miles ahead of our game NRL'

As for the suggestion that NZ would not be bothered about losing the series, when their Union team had won the World Cup, I don't think so.

Especially, judging by the look on their faces at the end of the game and the way they sulk off the field!

But no matter how much England or indeed Wigan win, there are always those who revel in moaning!

We have been close to beating them on many occasions and indeed have over the last 8 seasons, but in the crunch games we haven't and have been found wanting on many occasions.

We beat a weakened NZ team without 4-5 of their key players so I am not getting carried away just yet, the series win was however still a good win and I am proud of the lads as always.

As for the NZ players sulking, yes they obviously were not happy to lose but their reaction was not the same as if they had lost a WC final with a full team out, they were swapping shirts and joking and giggling with the England players.

I am happy with the series win just not getting carried away with it yet nor am I for one minute thinking McNamara is now a good coach.

I'm with you Whelley.
Some people on this forum are only happy when they are moaning.
What's wrong with a more positive approach?

This series win and all the publicity about Sam B. coming home from the dark side will do nothing but good for our great game.
It won't necessarily convert the masses, and it won't cheer up the professional moaners, but that's their problem. It will however do much more good than all their whining.

So I remain delighted with the win, pleased how well Steve Mc. has done, and unlike the moaners, I have a smile on my face.

And it wont convince anyone down under that we will win the 4 nations and/or the World cup.

Can I just say,as politely as possible. TBW the 3rd test was crucial to winning the series and to you Old Hooker the objective of the Test series from England perspective was to win it. A difficult concept to understand for you two you've so ably demonstrated not to convince anyone of anything re World Cup et. Al.

We all know you like your big words and definitions, so, crucial means decisive, critical in terms of success and further success, so I guess time will tell just how crucial that series win was!!

If we were getting battered like we were a few seasons ago, some of the moaning might be understandable!

I can only put it down to either the moaners were not even a 'twinkle in their dad's eye' at the time or just the fact that the Coach is a dreaded Yorkie!
