Samoa a complete myth. The Poms rolling them over EASY. Samoa must have knocked on about 10 times. Running lines all over the place, diss-jointed completely. Milford and Luai looked like NSW Cup players. Zero threat. Maybe it's the coach, but on paper I was expecting Samoa to win.

The looked the biz in their pre-match "Haka" but lacked bottle when things went south.

England are dead average. It'll be an Aus- NZ final if they don't meet sooner.

  • Just like Tonga, Samoa has plenty of skill and explosive power across the field but because the islanders are bigger and stronger much younger they don't learn how to play smart.  They just don't have the halves to control the game and settle players down.

    Look at Andrew John's, JT, Cam Smith, Cronk and Cleary etc.  They had footy smarts because they weren't the biggest, strongest or fastest and had to compete against stronger players. 

    But don't down play England playing at home with conditions to suit, weather and small fields.  Their no.6 Welsby is a gun, Dominic Young and Herbie Farnworth are 2 of best upcoming winger/centres.  Add in Victor Radley in the middle with Whitehead and Thompson on edges.

      • Nice 

      • Cunt deserves that. No Mr Chin to make him look good. He's a myth getting piggy backed. Wighton is the best NSW 5/8 by a country mile.

  • Very disappointing from Samoa. 

    England played good but would've been smoked by Aus or NZ.

    We need to throw the bank at Dom Young. Big, strong and fast. He is exactly what we need on the wing.

     

  • Speed kills.

    JAC is awesome in the open.

    Can't believe we didn't get him and the dogs did.

    When a player of his calibre became available, we should have moved heaven and earth to sign him.

    • Yeah, JAC is awesome but is on 600K. That's mad unless your Semi Radrada.

      The dogs despite all their signings still don't have a decent halfback or fullback.
