Tremendous game.

Tremendous game.

Worthy of the final IMO

Hope Hodgson & especially Lockers are okay for the final! Exactly the same as it is at Wigan, as soon as he, Lockers, leaves the field everything goes t***s up! A

Great game but the truth is if they had taken there chances they would have won

You’re not wrong Josie,I think this comp has shown Lockers true worth to those outside of the Wigan fan base,those last few moments where thrilling to watch but ridiculous to let happen,they fell asleep something they can’t do against the might of the Aussies.

Still think England will nick it if the same side goes out next of course mr Holmes has an off day

Great game but how did we switch off in last 10 mins ,poor end of game management, really close call at the end could have gone either way ,but I do think we're the only team who can beat the Aussies ,still not convinced with Gale but other options out of form at the moment, thought our forwards were superb for the majority of the match let's hope Oloughlin and Hodgson are fit for the final,how crucial was Bateman try didn't seem it at the time,looking forward to next week

Superb viewing for an early miserable November morning. One of the most entertaining games I’ve seen in years & still more improvement to come from England which bodes well IMO.

Tongan crowd was awesome as expected & we can only hope there’s a good sized England contingent making a noise in Brisbane next week,possibly bolstered by a bunch of the ‘barmy army’ currently watching the ashes tour nearby!
