Christ, I didn't expect the anti-Wigan bias this early.

There are no Wigan players playing, they are all England players.

WTF is Jonathan Davies on about? One of the most blatant obstructions you'll see.

And England players Williams, O'Loughlin & Farrell have been crap.

You forgot Burgess and Bateman.

Ps. it was a nice pass by Williams to put Ferres through for his try.

No I didn't, stop being so precious about your beloved Wigan, those 3 players are letting the team down so far.

Williams, Farrell and Bateman have been fine.

Thought the same about O'Loughlin and Farrell, offering nothing really apart their usual giving away of penalties. Been impressed with Williams and Hall so far.

Is there nobody better than Williams in England for the seven shirt?

Tbf, poor first half from both teams. NZ look like they're stuck in second gear. We better hope they don't find third and beyond for the second half. Distinct lack of atmosphere from the decent crowd. It's like they're playing at the AJ Bell. Tbf to Salford fans, we make more noise with a fraction of the numbers.

Here's hoping for a more interesting second half...

Gale.

Gale ? but like McGillvary he plays for the wrong team to be selected !.

Bit of a shaky start from Williams, but he a talented player and he's come good. Hall has been excellent, Bateman worked hard as usual. England still flattered by the half-time score, though.
