SydneyRoosters Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Just as I expected all over social media. NRL fans can’t believe it they’re pulling “It wasn’t Fiji’s full strength squad”. It’s quite funny that they can’t admit England a good nation and it’s going to be even more funny when Samoa and Tonga get beaten I wonder what excuse they’ll come up with that time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Evans Thigh Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) Pretty satisfying win, don't think that could have gone any better really. No injuries, 0 points conceded, plenty of selection headaches. Sneyd and Ackers looked at home in this company and showed what they can offer. Agree that Sneyd has to play. No one else in the squad has a kicking game anywhere close to his and as we all know, that's going to be vital. Just need to give him plenty of protection in defence. I'm also in the 'no need for mickey mac' corner. Ackers probably only needs a couple of 10 min spells off the field and Radley can cover that and will be just as effective as MM. Who knows what will happen with the Tomkins conundrum as Welsby has to play. No doubt brings plenty, including leadership but our attack likely won't be as good with him there. If he starts then Williams would have to drop to the bench for me. I'd like to see: Welsby Makinson, Watkins, Farnworth, Young Williams, Sneyd Thompson, Radley, Oledski Bateman (if available), Whitehead Knowles Ackers, Burgess, Batchelor, one of the other props. If Tomkins plays, Ackers starts, drop the other prop and replace with Williams who maybe does short stints at dummy half with Radley or knowles starting on the bench.

That it's a second rate comp and the players are just there for a holiday. For reference see any SL win in WCC games. Or that no one cares because it's cricket season as the news in Aus did in 2014 when they were getting beat in the 4 nations.

Dunbar Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) According to the player stats on NRL.COM, Tom Burgess ran for 192 metres in 52 minutes tonight. He is a valuable part of the squad with his go forward. Dom Young led the run metres (204) and tackle breaks.

We don’t have to make every single game in the World Cup super competitive. If we think of the World Cup as both a competition to find the worlds best national team and a festival & celebration of Rugby League then it is perfectly fine as it is.
