SydneyRoosters Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I can’t wait to see what the NRL fans and samoa bandwagons have to say about this considering they got destroyed by Fiji in 2019. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I'll wait 'til I see what that side can do in attack. Hall was never the fastest winger anyway, and it's obvious he's past his peak, but the power of him and Farnworth combined could be a big problem, if used right.

jacksy Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) Good performance from England. I'd like to Fiji test us more in 2nd half. Preferred Connor at right centre but Watkins is playing very well. His confidence is obviously back. Ackers and Young very good.

As a Wigan fan Cooper would not make my Wigan first choice 17 let alone the England WC squad. We also have several wingers better than Hall now in Marshall, Burgess, Handley, Matty Ashton and likely a couple more. Young has been excellent and this tournament could see him confirm himself as truly elite. Williams proving the doubters wrong as Wane gets the best out of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Dunno why they picked that Dom Young . Obviously raw and not ready and with a long list of things he can’t do … 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark S Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I have a nasty feeling that the RFU and Eddie Jones will be sniffing around Don Youngs in the not so distance future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleD Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Despite Welsby’s performance, I still expect Wane will pick Tomkins at full back next week, frustratingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragingbull Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 No complaints from that 1st half. Very pleasing so far. Fiji will obviously be a lot stronger next week with the Penrith and Parra lads in but we are looking intense and clinical so far 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this RWC's build-up has been full of the usual nonsense we always get, where the coach and every player gets slagged off and belittled (on the standard club-partisan lines) before a single match has kicked off.

No doubt, it’s a good job he’s playing in the NRL where the wages are more than competitive with anything the RU can offer.

The captain is the full back but I think Welsby is rapidly becoming England's best player and may the key to our success at the World Cup. But it is a long tournament and I am sure Welsby will find his place in the team. 1 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

Chris22 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Well, this is certainly going better than the last England World Cup warm up at Salford against Italy! Been quite impressed by England. The combination on the right edge look very sharp. Fiji look in dire need of this warm up match. A very disjointed performance. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 More than pleased with the first half. Now let's see an 80-minute performance with the attacks spread out a bit more. Wane and his coaching team need as much data as they can get in his very limited opportunities. 1 "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.
