England - could they?

When they kick off the 2025 Ashes series at Wembley this Saturday afternoon, it'll mark the return of a series that hasn't been played for 22 years, a series which Australia won 3-0.

Since then, though, England have played Australia in different competitions, but the results stayed the same; England themselves haven't beaten Australia in a match since 1995. Great Britain, which many people would say is basically the same, beat them in 2006, but even that is nearly 20 years ago, so how the hell do England beat them this time?

Well, let's look at three big positives: it's in England, the first test at Wembley in front of over 60,000 mainly England fans, our weather conditions, and our coach is Shaun Wane, a proven winner.

However, I hear you say they have a team full of superstars; maybe so, but we have a few ourselves. Herbie Farnworth - possibly the best centre in the world at the moment - Mikey Lewis, a recent Grand Final and Man of the Match winner, Morgan Knowles, a future NRL star, Dom Young, 73 tries in 92 NRL games for the star winger, and there is, of course, my team's captain and England's George Williams - a lot has been said about George this year, but let's remember he's never let England down, and while some may look at his time in the NRL as a negative, he was only one game away from a Grand Final and is still wanted by the NRL now; let's just say we have stars too.

I'm not being silly, though; I get it. I live in Australia; I've seen these players up close - Reece Walsh, Cameron Munster, Harry Grant, Isaac Yeo, and possibly one of the best players ever, Nathan Cleary. You do have to hope at least some of them have a bad day, but this is an inexperienced squad; four players are set to make their debut, many haven't played in England before, and many definitely wouldn't have played together before; it could make a big difference.

For too long now, Aussies have looked down at the English game, even after the last two World Club Challenges; it's made no difference. We have the perfect opportunity to finally make them sit up and take notice, and there's nothing the Aussies hate more than losing.

1970 was the last time Australia lost an Ashes series; 4th July in Sydney, Great Britain winning 21-17 to win the test series 2-1. Fifty-five years later, George and Co. have the chance to make history once again. I'm sure every sportsperson dreams of becoming a hero, a legend, a player never forgotten; now iyour chance boys; don't let more years go by.

Three weeks, three venues, three games, one epic rivalry - England vs. Australia; it doesn't get much bigger than this. C'mon England ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ

James Bentley - The former Leeds player appears poised to join the Wire, a signing that has sparked mixed reactions among fans. To gain a deeper understanding of the player, let's examine his profile.

As a second-rower and Grand Final winner with the Saints, Bentley's credentials are notable. While his discipline record has been a concern in the past, he was not suspended last season and played in all but one game for Leeds, who reached the playoffs.

The circumstances surrounding his release from Leeds are unclear, with the club citing personal reasons and a mutual decision to part ways. This may raise concerns for Warrington, but it is likely that the club has discussed the matter with Bentley to ensure a smooth transition.

While Bentley may not be the most skilled second-rower, he is undoubtedly a hardworking player who consistently gives his all on the field.

Warrington has been seeking a second-rower, having missed out on re-signing Ryan Matterson. Ideally, the club would like to have four second-rowers in its first-team squad. With Ewan Smith and Adam Holroyd as the long-term starting duo, the addition of Bentley and potentially re-signing Sam Stone would provide the desired depth. Some may argue that Currie could fill this role, but it is clear that the coach prefers him at 13, with Yates still playing a part in the prop rotation.

Regardless of opinions on the signing, it is evident that Warrington's squad is taking shape for 2026. Whether this squad can win the Grand Final remains uncertain, but it is likely to perform better than in 2025.

While some may advocate for playing younger talent, it is essential to strike a balance between experience and youth within the squad. Patience is crucial, and it is probable that 2027 will be a more significant season for the club's emerging stars.

Regarding Bentley, some have drawn comparisons to Ben Westwood, suggesting that he could bring a similar level of aggression to the team. If he can emulate even half of Westwood's performance, it would be a notable achievement.
