Good to see Mulhern called up as he has had a superb season and does big minutes but Ben Currie….he is bang average and that’s being kind to bang average…we have enough props to move McMeeken back to his best position of 2nd row imo.

Currie bang average behave

He's not world class but he's a good player

Got pace most 2nd rowers could only dream of

One of them props is Chris Hill now he is BANG AVERAGE

Watched the game this morning, Brown was very solid again, came on earlier and got more minutes, passing out of dummy half is exceptional.

I didn't like Hill in the team and I moaned a lot after the first game that he was a waste of a shirt. But thought he stepped up last week and played really well. As did Bateman who I also complained about after the 1st game. They both proved me wrong.
Having said that, last week was just 1 game and I fully agree with you, Hill shouldn't be in that team anymore.

Such a good 2nd rower that Wanes banged him in the centres,not Curries fault tbh.I just don’t rate him and he isn’t international class.

Marty Lees should pick up a big ban for what he did..Pulling a players hair just because he got clattered in the tackle,Absolutely disgusting and Wilkins just said it should have been red and Kendal being his usual look at me self.

England played some really good rugby in poor conditions , Nice to see we have some options in the half's in positions we normally struggle to fill . I thought Tonga have been poor in this series , I think there a lot better team than what they've shown .

Problem with tonga since 2017 they've lost world class players like taoumalo, Michael jennings and Andrew fifita

Spine players always seem to be the issue for the pacific island teams. Generally average players from SL or NRL fringe players.

Wheelchair game looked like a great event at the First Direct arena yesterday, hopefully the RFL capitalise on this and we have more games in the near future.

Seperately, if as rumoured Samoa are touring next year, get the fixtures published and tickets on sale now to avoid a repeat of this year's poorly attended Tonga srries. There's only one event you can book for 2024 currently via the rfl and that's the challenge cup final... definitely an area the sport needs to improve on
