Thought it was a pretty uninspiring series all round but England have done OK. For once we look stronger in the backs than the forwards - there are some hard workers but compare it to the 2017 WC with Graham, S Burgess, O'Loughlin, Roby etc and it's clearly declined in quality. Whitehead has also gone now.

I think international rugby league would benefit from England getting involved in a four or five nations in the Southern hemisphere.

Harry Smith confirmed as man of the series. Chuffed for him on one hand, worried on the other. If I’m an NRL club watching that and I want a game manager to play alongside an explosive 1 and 6, I’m all over him.

Utterly dominant performance across the board and on both sides of the ball. Smith absolutely outstanding in all 3 tests. If there's a better in-game kicker of the ball in world rugby I've yet to see them. That kick for the Newman try was another level. Not only that it came from unstructured play but to spot the opportunity and execute to that standard was truly exceptional.

Beginning to dread the WCC going ahead, if the NRL get a close look at Smith/Nsemba/Havard we could end up looking at a major rebuild

That's the worry mate. I said some time ago that we need to extend his contract as a matter of urgency. However, whether that will be enough to see off the interest I seriously doubt unfortunately.

He’s very much on the NRLs radar.

Welsby Dodd Newman and Smith are the first names out of Journalists mouths when asked about SL talent.

I`m not so sure Dodd or Newman are ready for the NRL yet.
I think the other 2 yes and could see Knowles and possibly Lees going ok over there.

Yeah, a Cooper Cronk special, that one! Mind now, Bevan did similar just a few weeks ago, didn't he? I thought Smith was MoM by a mile.

Never seen Smith look as confident. It’s oozing out of him in all facets of his game. He’s looked in this series as though he’s a play ahead of everyone else.

Whether you like Wane or not, agree with his comments or not you have to give him credit for that.

England look we’ll drilled and prepared to bust a fit for each other. He’s clearly got into the minds of Tonga and Woolf who’ve been out coached and out played.

I’ve seen a few comments saying Tonga are poor and we’d expect to beat them comfortably. That’s utter nonsense, they’re a team of primarily top class NRL talent. Commentary got it spot on today, they have not looked like a team, just a bunch of individuals. To a certain extent England didn’t let them but really there’s only one person to blame for that & he’s the coach.

Going forward for us we can add in Young, Farnworth, Wardle, KPP, Havard & Oledski along with the potential of too many to mention the future looks promising.

Think he has proved he is defensively capable aswell, not put afoot wrong in defence that i can recall again and fronted up against a very big tonga team chocked with NRL talent.

Is becoming a big worry of mine and hope for an announcement of a contract extension before the season starts

Got worried when I saw on Instagram Toby Kings foot was in a boot…. Then I remembered
