| It wouldn't surprise me if both were relatively close games. Australia haven't had any warm up games and have said they won't be playing any players who played in the Grand Final against Fiji. Australia aren't usually a team that will put the hammer down and try to humiliate their opposition, so I don't see them winning by too much.
Samoa v England will depend a lot on how seriously Samoa are taking it. They've also had no warm up games that I'm aware of. An 8-12 point England win would be my guess, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if they beat us given the quality of the individuals they have in their side. It'll be interesting to see how Jerome Luai handles the World Cup. It could cement his position as the most hated player in World Rugby League, or he could use it to win a few hearts and minds back.

Our weakness looks to be the No 9 position compared to Australia who just bring Grant into that position to up the game. Wane needs to sort that position out before we go into knock out rugby.'"
Wane can place Radley there if needs must.

On a side note I thought the Samoa coach Parish looked as though he had just got out of bed and had a sleepy look about him.'"
I wondered what Keith Richards was doing in the Samoa dug out.

To be fair. I thought Ackers would have excelled yesterday when the likes of Tomkins, Welsby and Williams were tearing up the ruck. McIllorum’s distribution needs sorting but he was a lot more solid against Samoa’s pack than I thought he would be. That will be important early doors against the likes of Big Tino/RCG and Big NAS/Fisher-Harris.

Thought McLlorum's defence was decent in the first quarter, I think both No 9's struggled with their distribution, Levi had a really bad spell didn't know his passing options and picked the wrong players at times and didn't mix it up with short and long passes.

I'm far from being a "doom monger", but do they actually have a PA system at St James' Park? There was a bit of annoying noise, but no actual words could be discerned!!
