I hope we win,just to shut up the miserable buggers who do nothing but moan about the squad not being good enough.

Come on England

So Cooper , Hill and M. Mickey in , shows how bad we are plus a past his best Tomkins and never good enough Sneyd .

A gamble on proven nothing yet Kai Pearce - Paul and long time out of form one trick pony Williams .

so in my opinion we have the below who are good enough

Makinson
Watkins
Young
Farnworth
Welsby
Thompson
Whitehead
Radley
Knowles
Lees

Will be surprised if England win today.

Somoa have so much NRL quality.

Good that Ryan Hall isn't picked as his past it at this level.

Should be a decent game this. Hope the boys can do it. But Samoa look red hot on paper!!

How bad is Maclorum..
Pretty happy with the rest of the team.. Hill and Cooper need to be flawless not to be replaced.

Great work, guys!

Williams and Welsby excellent today with some great passing and short kicking plays. The whole back line is very well balanced and loaded with lots of smarts.

Our pack was massive in getting our halves on the front foot.

You could tell half their team had been on the grog for a fortnight , but you can only beat what is in front of you

His 2nd best prediction of the week after "I told you all weeks ago Wardle isn’t signing. Despite what jonh and his source down the pub says" the day before Wigan signed Wardle.

43k is a great crowd considering it was a against Samoa, only 2k less than 2013's opener but that was against Australia and also a double header with Wales involved.

Lots of locals there today and many at their first game of Rl who had not been to magic before but went because it was England
