Sat 29 Oct: RLWC: England v Greece KO 14:30

[Exiled Wiganer]

19,000. That’ll do nicely.

[Dunbar]

I don't think there is anything in it between Radley and Knowles.  They are both tough as teak, always moving and can throw a pass.

We are lucky to have both.

[Old Frightful]

Why did Knowles go anywhere near that?

Stoopid.

[SydneyRoosters]

Selfish from Knowles he’s was miles offside, should have let Welsby ground it.

Just said that myself. He knew he was offside and didn't need to get anywhere near that ball.

? Victor has come of the bench a few times for us this year, and I think Knowles would be more suited starting.

He’s hardly ever been a bench player so how can you say Knowles is more suited to starting.

Thankfully the current England coach doesn’t think so

[SydneyRoosters]

I think the craziest things that happened this game is that Dom Young still didn’t break the record and Englands best player didn’t even have a single try or assist.

Why are you against Knowles Starting, Victor is better in my opinion but he would be more suited late game. They would both play 40-40 but Victor’s ball playing work around the middle would more threatening with tired defenders.

Agreed. No nonsense, made all the right decisions and didn’t make it about her.

Good stuff, give her the final.

Yeah but it would have humiliated Greece on national TV, you know, the part time hobbyists who have only been playing their sport legally for a month, playing against one of the 3 superpowers of the sport and only losing by a scoreline everyone expected anyway.

And an Oldham born player

Yet another Oldham born player who did very well by never playing for Oldham. KPP was on loan at the Roughyeds mind, when he was about 14. Learned all his best attributes there, obv.

Yeah well they didn’t know it was going to be a 90 point blow out so it would have been 19,000 either way.

[moorside roughyed]

Result was never in any doubt. Well done England. Glad the Greeks didn't get nilled. I thought we going into triple figures out there today. Would like congratulate Greece on getting into the tournament and welcome them to the rugby family. Holidayed and got married there,love the country and the people. Sneyd needs to be there in the knockout phases of the competition.

Who’s “against” Knowles & why would you want Radley to only play 40 minutes.

[jacksy]

Bravo Greece and great to see quite a few Greek supporters in the crowd.

[andyscoot]

Tricky position re halves going forward.
