    Default GB Lions 2020 Tour

    It’s almost like watching saints under Cunningham.

    I hope Wolf has us playing like Tonga

    Daft tactics. Tonga want nothing more than for us to bash it up the middle so they can line us up. Need to take it out wide earlier in the sets to at least stretch the defensive line.
    Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.

    Daryl Clark hooker with some speed would be helpful..we look slow.
    No running threat from hastings, hope jonny gets on now.

    Humans are more concerned with having than being.

    Missed the first half but not surprised. Can't say I'm overly bothered. Bennett out.

    I know Josh Jones has had a decent season for Salford, but GB? Really?

    I can see why he picked bigger players all over the pitch but god we are slow and boring.

    We constantly look like a team that has never met, never mind play together.. Bennett wants an NRL type team, bash it up the middle and percentages, but that suits Tonga down to the ground

    Bennett’s tactics are 10 years out of date. Tonga look sharper and just as dogged in defence as attack, I hope thats all down to the coach.

    The fact that Widdop has been picked over Lomax and a 3rd prop was selected at 13 tells you everything about Bennett. 13 is a pivot in the modern game, hasn’t been a 3rd prop for last 6/7 years.

    There's going to be one hell of a party in Tonga tonight and rightly so. GB better get a grip on this tour.

    Few obs.
    Bennett loved by the players but almost universally not by fans...explain.
    GB one dimensional ( reminded me of when KC was in charge of Saints)
    So many players playing out of position
    Tongan SL players really prefer playing for Tonga than they do their SL clubs
    Tonga had Kendal in their back pocket..conned him from start to finish.
    Hope Thompson is ok and TBH hope he comes home tomorrow for the sake of Saints.

    Bennett went for size, Tonga did exact same and were all twice as big.
    The few occasions we moved the ball we got forward only to make a mistake.

    If Gildart’s done we’ve no pace in the team at all. If Thompson’s done then we’ve lost a massive part of the pack. Hodgson was awful on the international stage again.

    Bateman and Walmsley did well.

    Bennett picks players based on what country they play in and their reputation. Simple as that. He’s an arrogant prick and needs to stick to NRL. I’ve had enough of him and this isn’t just a reaction to one game either.
    NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS
