Heighington probably been better than McQueen this year but both are nowhere near good enough. Neither is Tom Burgess. Walmsley has clearly been one of the best in England for some time but can't get a look in. A number of good back rowers in England left at home.

Isn't the purpose of this game to give English players the chance to go up with NRL-calibre talent on foreign soil?

I don't normally have too strong feelings either way towards coaches. But Wayne is taking the out of English rugby league and doing more harm than good. Even if he brings some short term success (IE a World Cup final) I'd still want him long gone after this year.

If McQueen and Heighington were players like Wade Graham and Paul Gallen, you could see the reasoning behind Bennett's decision. He says he's only d about winning. But they're not. They're over the hill and never was. It's a disgrace.

Well said Budgie. Agreed 100%

If you pay to watch the game do they send you a link or will you be able to go on the site and log in?

No, because that was a meaningless warm up..... Samoa knocking England out of the World Cup would be massive for all Pacific nations - it would justify players putting their hand up for the heritage team.

Absolutely agree, England beating Oz in a knockout game would also be a huge boost.

I'm sure if Samoa win the papers here will be going on about it being a "disaster" or a "humiliation" for England. It wouldn't be. Samoa are not plucky underdogs, they are a bloody good side. That Samoan team could easily beat NZ (as they nearly did with a weaker side in the WC).

And what Charlie said about McNamara.

Mirror was pretty no holds barred about Bennett's choices www.mirror.co.uk/sport/rugby-lea ... a-10357418 Sometimes it feels like rugby league is going out of its way to alienate those fans who love the game so much.... Tom Burgess seems to have spent more time on the gossip pages of the Sydney tabloids this season than he has causing mayhem for South Sydney Rabbitohs. And even Chris Heighington’s mum would probably agree at 34 he’a a lucky boy to be near this squad, NRL Grand Final winner with Cronulla or not.

Plug your laptop into your TV using a HDMI or other compatible lead ?

yeh could do , thought there would be a way round it !

Or you fire Kodi up and look for sky sports nz or fox sports aus I'm sure they will be on there somewhere

Totally agree, Percival would get walked all over by most international centres.

But Hardaker has only moved to centre thanks to Ratchford being drafted in to squad late on. So it clearly wasn't what he was planning to do so it just shows indecisive thinking on Bennett behalf which is a worry.
