Great game. We need some more of those players in SL. Take them out of the NRL and the competition is not half as good.

What it boils down to though is the simplicity of evenly matched teams, and that just doesnt happen often enough in Rugby league

Samoa will be soundly beaten by England

They are big players but slow in almost everything they do.
England are also big but very mobile. Not one prop playing today would I swap for Tom Burgess or Chris Hill. Our passing is faster and more accurate.
Can't see past anything but an England win b y a large margin.

Papalii is better than both of those easy but this is the best I’ve seen Tom play for England and same with hill. There will still be people crying about hill starting in the semis ignoring how bang average Knowles and lees have been

If Burgess and Hill maintain their form I think England are red hot favourites next week. I think Knowles had a good game against PNG, Lees for me is bang average. Welsby needs to step up to the mark, he was average behind a dominant pack.
