You can get away with playing him in the halves but not fullback. I completely agree and have said the same previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graveyard johnny Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Fiji look like they have been dragged in from the street and none of them have ever played a game of RL - A VERY hard game to watch 2 see you later undertaker - in a while necrophile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SydneyRoosters Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Englands attack was incredible but I was mainly impressed with the defence, wane is a mastermind. Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think Fiji made one line break the entire game. Also was incredibly impressed with England middle pack they dominated, Ackers was great too so was every England player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMEGA Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 So at the very least we’ve started better than the last World Cup We look to have some depth in most positions with KPP & Wardle both looking comfortable in the centres, Batchelor making a decent start and Welsby pushing for a pivots position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derwent Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Full time at Workington - Cumbria 28 Jamaica 12 Fear for Jamaica in the RLWC, they were pretty poor and a not particularly strong Cumbria team completely outplayed them. 2 1 I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weloveyouwakefield2 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Fiji hopeless but impressive by England first half. You can only play what’s in front of you. Thought some of the combinations were fantastic down the right, Dominic young could be a sensation if we can get him the ball… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he worth selection with his kicking game?

Stuff Smith Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) It's one of those situations where you can't really complain. But I'm still complaining. (Said it before: Rugby League supporter, after all.) But I really wish that Fiji had offered more of a threat. I don't think anyone can argue that they weren't bobbins tonight.

Just Browny Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) I'm not sure the lack of preparation time in the lead-up to this tournament has been talked about as much as it could have been. In 2017 there were 25 days between the NRL Grand Final and Game 1 of the World Cup. This time it's 13. I think European teams should have a real jump on those primarily coming from the NRL, at least in games 1 and 2. Fiji looked like they were meeting each other for the first time. Edited October 7, 2022 by Just Browny 2 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

The WC is a contrived competion with 16 teams competing, at best make it an 8 team comp if we even want to try to make it competitive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
