Lewis has talent and attitude and has done really well this year. However, I seem to remember that he was the 'leader' in missed tackles in SL last season. If that's the case, there is no way that Waney would choose him ahead of George, a great tackler, if George was playing anywhere near his best. I'm interested to see how Lewis develops because he should be an option for us if Bevan decides to go home in a year or two.

I know we do have some NRL players but knowing Tonga is full of them and a large proportion of the England tea is superleague players is this showing that in reality its Cap only causing the difference and players themselves are actually similar quality.

Seems to me that Tonga have at least three-quarters of a team of really good players. Their problem is balance in that they lack the organising/creative players to make them a top team. They're good at the crash-bang stuff, but need a Harry Smith or George Williams.

13 minutes from the end, but Harry Smith is MoM by a mile. Hardly a comment on his defensive work which has been superb, and his kicking and controlling have been superb as usual.

How Bateman got MOTM I’ll never know :?

Great to see Harry recognised for his form throughout the series though with Player Of The Series

I had Bateman as MOM but Smith as man of the series due to his consistently good performances.

I was concerned that wolf left hurrell on all game. Even from the anthem he was very emotional and over aggressive all game and seemed to have really lost his head. Think something was really wrong in his mindset looked quite worrying for me
