This tournament has changed my opinion of O'Loughlin. finally seen what the Wigan fans have been talking about for years. Great choice for captain after Sir Kev stepped down. Tomkins has improved and for me, this anti-Wigan/anti-Leeds fighting needs to stop. When an England shirt is on, we are all England fans! (from a Leeds fan)

"O'Loughlin "the best ball handling forward in the world" says Jamie Peacock." Lifted from twitter...

Can't disagree with that based on this tournament. He's been superb.

Simply not clinical enough England.

We've had enough chances to be well clear.

Dan Sarginson, man of the tournament for me!

Played very well but wouldn't go as far as best player in the four nations.

Straight forward why England wont progress to the final, not enough Wigan players.

I think with a better scrum-half, we actually win that game.

Feel pretty low at the minute but there has to be some positivity. We could and should have won two games against the two nations people say are head and shoulders above us. I've watched us play against these two over the years and seen us dominated and have to hang on by our fingernails (or just get battered). That isn't happening at the minute. We look on an even footing with them and just need more belief.

We need a breakthrough win but it's a young side and can continue to improve.

Gutted with the result but what a game!plenty of positives and fine margins.All the Wigan lads performed well and Dan Sarginson again played out of his skin.

I agree.

Club bias to one side Smith stifled us tonight and his kicking game wasn't good enough. He was excellent the past two weeks but a good way off today.

It has to be said, even from a Saints fan, that Sarginson and O'Loughlin were superb today. Sarginson has really impressed me and I think he can lose his utility tag now as left centre looks like his position.

Joel Tomkins on the other hand looks way off the pace.

I thought Joel had a better game this week but I was disappointed with Whitehead when he came on.

James Graham has walked player of the four nations for me

That group of players have the potential to challenge the Aussies and kiwis for years to come. But McNamara has taken us as far as he can IMO. There simply has to be a change of coach now.

If the Hall try was correctly given then we would have taken the 2 at the end and been undefeated,very fine margins that we always seem to be on the wrong end of.
