Someone had to make way for Tom useless Burgess.

Should win in Papua New Guinea though.................

Widdopp annoys me - in too many games he just doesn't commit defenders. Lomax looked better when he came on.

That’s what happens when most of your players are involved in a sub standard competition

The pack needs some dynamism, and spark from dummy half. Watts and Clark should be in that 17. Hopefully Lomax's performance in the 2nd half will stop Coote ever playing for GB again.

Tui Lolohea showing GB how to boss the HB position. GB have the man of steel, but only use him on the left. Widdop on the right and ineffective. Neither organising. Coote awful. Lomax should have been on from the start. I think GB suffered from too many cooks and nobody really got a grip on the game. Hodgson was left to call the shots, but it all looked a little disjointed. Too many silly errors cost field position.

Not great from GB.

Serious questions need to be asked about Widdop..
Hodgson? Why?
Brilliant captains game by Taumalolo.

I've watched Canberra all season and Hodgson is an incredible hooker. Those saying Clarke is better need to base that judgement on more than an International game against Tonga. They're both great nines but Hodgson is currently way ahead of anyone else for that shirt.

He's certainly never looked incredible at this level.

It's great for the game that Tonga play with that much pride when they play in front of their people, but unfortunately the only two places they can get that support are NZ and Western Sydney.

Were the fake Britons any good? If not, what’s the point of picking them?

I've never understood the plaudits Coote has had; the CC final showed him up. Gildart good feet but not big enough. Hardaker at FB. But then we'd end up with 2 second rowers playing centre. Can't believe he hasn't picked Percival.

Thought Hastings was good. Coote was predictably awful.

Why? Bennett doesn't rate him. He's also injured i believe.

Thompson and Gildart done for the tournament.
