I really thought we might run them close this time (at least not lose by more than 10). But they are just running away with it. I can't understand how they remain so much better than us. 50 odd points indicates to me that the problems aren't even just psychological, they must be about strength, fitness and skill as well.
Jetlag may be a factor, but surely it can't explain a 50 point winning margin?
Its just so depressing.
Great Britain v Australia
shameful
Didn't get to watch the game (luckily) I was going to take the day off work - what a waste that would have been!
I did get to listen to it on 5 live however (very close to turning off a few times), what a shambles.
All I can say is that I hope Radlinski's injury is nothing to worry about...

Third rate Waite
Waite needs to go, as fast as possible.
A British coach would be ideal, although Brian Noble is the only name that springs to mind.
It just goes to show that we are still light years behind the antipodeans, and being coached by third rate Waite is getting us nowhere.

Everything they do is so dramatic and flamboyant. It just makes me want to set myself on fire!
No Glynola
Waite is not third rate hes a good coach.The problem today was mainly jet lag and players playing who where not 100% fit.Other than that the GB players are not as fit,fast,strong or as big as the Aussies.Its time we admmitted that they are years ahead of us and our few star players would not even make their second grade team.
When the team goes out of the dressing room theres nothing the coach can do its up to the players to carry out his instructions.Im sure Waite didnt instruct anything that GB did today it was just down to the above factors.I do however have to question a few of Waites team selections but he has limited talent to work with.
I cant see us beating the Aussies when it matters for years and years,they are too far in front.We just have to hope that David Waite takes us in the right direction towards them.

Long term prospects
Good points John, but is Waite really the man to sort out our long term future?
Surely if we get a younger Brit in the job (or top rate Aussies) we can work on developing a stable basis for the future, even if it means that the series against the Kiwis may be a write off.

Waites future
Ive been talking to loads of Aussies about David Waite and they all have nothing only good words for his coaching abilitys.Some Aussies before Friday where predicting a British win due to the fact that David Waite was coach which shows how highly they think of him.
I think what GB need to do is let him finish his contract and carry on the work he has done.Im sure he is doing a good job really and Fridays result was just a one off due to jet lag and players not being 100% fit.We are no way that bad and the Aussies are wrong if they think they will find it that easy next time.
Waite has been known for years to be one of the best judges of a player around.He in fact discovered the Johns brothers and paired them together to form the most lethal half back pairing in the NRL.He has also made bad teams into grand finalists and has been very unlucky not to win anything.
I think the next GB coach is already being groomed in Brian Noble.He is already assistant which shows hes got a good chance of being next in line when Waite finishes.That shows that we are thinking of the long term future,Waite is just putting things in place to get us on the right tracks.
