You really know about league don't you?!

am not his biggest fan,but i thought he had a decent input into the game.Just a shame he still leaves his knees in when he has made a tackle.Billy Slater was on the recieving end a couple of times in the second half.Apart from that well done to lad.

what i liked is that the he irrated the aussies. they ragged him a couple of times off the ball yet he kept going. thats what we need. someone that gets under their skin. But sam was impressive and the aussies noticed him. For me i would play sam at 6 and eastmond at 7. Crabtree and ellis played really well. If eastmond played let him kick and play burgess at loose and get rid of sinfield.

I think that's a compliment - just...

Superb, one of the only players who can go off with head held high really.

Him and eastmond are so dangerous I say 6 and 7 next week for them two.

Defo!!!

The time has come for us to have the two most talented young hb's in SL today playing for England!

I still think Eastmond is as talented as Sam

tomkins had a great game, as did eastmond. sinfield also played well when he was at hooker. would have tomkins and eastmond in the halves next week, with sinfield switching between hooker and loose.

Sounds like a plan.
Lee Smith has to go, to sub Briscoe was laughable, drop a 19 year old for someone off to kick and clap.

Absolute class act is Tomkins and was our best player today IMO........... have to say well done to the Wigan club for bringing this lad through well this season.

Sinfield at hooker demonstrated how poor roby's distribution was. It was no coincidence England got going with some clean ball at acting half.

I thought Tomkins did well, his biggest plus being that he wasn't afraid to stand toe to toe with the opposition.

Of course there has to be a suspicion that his performance was based quite significantly on the Aussies dropping off in the second half, but that can also be said about the whole England side, which improved dramatically in the second half.

Still not too optimistic for next week though....It just seems we have a mental problem of not being able to perform for 80 minutes...Either that, or we just aren't good enough??...
