4 stone heavier…

Good to see. Well done Wakefield. Why 2/3s rather than the full length?

PNG need more games against NZ,Aus, Tonga et al; not just Fiji.

Not sure what more you need considering the weight of evidence already proved on this thread.

Matthew Shaw reporting it is not happening in 2025. Good.

I like what Dwyer has said… “IMG don’t run the sport. They make recommendations that RFL Commercial and the clubs choose to take forward if they want to.” I hope that is understood by all. As it could not be any clearer.

Shame NZ are not playing PNG in Port Moresby. Have the Kiwis ever played over there?

I can’t believe we are even contemplating bringing this back…

Welsby didn’t play badly in this Series. He was not on top form but was solid. He’s been a bit like that all year. I think it was @bobbruce who said Welsby’s confidence looks low. I’d agree, particularly after a long, tough, and disrupted season for Saints. But he remains the best full back we have. Top quality player.

Knowles doesn’t have a short-fuse… … he doesn’t have one!

If we can bring through a couple of props like Noah Stephens et al, we are going to be various dangerous at the WC in 2026.

It’s why Bateman is a really important player in this England set up. Experience is vitally important.

Smith and Williams are a great halfback pairing.

He won’t play.

League Freak will be going mental on Twitter…

I thought the same. Not the outside player. It was the inside man obstructed.

Superb finish by Marshall.

Tough in the middle this. We are losing that struggle at the moment.

Poor from England to concede there. Welsby, Ashton nowhere…

BBC always does that. Always. You can tell the difference when compared to SKY games.

I thought that. He has the quality to pick that up and score. MUST take those chances next year.

Mid season no. Doesn’t mean tournaments including Australia can’t be organised post-season. As for the players, there is purely opinion but I wouldn’t be surprised if some chose their nation over the State. De-coupling Origin from internationals in the Southern Hemisphere in my opinion is hugely important. There is money to be made outside of those Origin games. The appetite is there. And it would also make league the most dominant sport in the entire Pacific IMO.

Pacific Championship during Origin… please…
