I didn't expect that result. I know that not everyone follows the NRL week-in, week-out, but anyone who does know that there are some seriously good players in that Samoan side. I didn't think we'd win.

Another plus is that if results go as expected, I think it sets up a Tonga-v-Samoa quarter final, which is mouth-watering (and we'll likely have PNG).

And I know its early doors, but Schoey has excelled himself here. I think there is a general point about picking bang-average Aussies ahead of English players, just because of their accent, or even playing them out of position even when there is a better Englishman in that position, but Radley is no average player and his dad is English, so I'm fine with it,

What an incredible result

We’ve just thumped a team of nrl stars

Hope that gives us some confidence now

Mind you England is also packed with NRL stars to be honest

I'll be looking to see how Wakeham does

Watching Aus v Fiji, just waiting for NGB4Cas to come on and want Wakefield to sign a big Fijian winger!

That Sivo guy looks alright. We should sign him before anyone notices him.

Enjoyed this afternoon. Looking forward to more of the same in games to come. George Williams wasn't the same guy who we saw last season. Very impressive.

Not sure if this is tongue in cheek

He’s a top nrl winger playing for the eels

We could prob buy some of his old boots thoighb

Wakeham certainly has a good short kicking game

He’s paid to be controversial, don’t be surprised when he is… it’s the newspaper equivalent of click-bait.

Very tongue in cheek.
