That bloke who has managed 17 NRL games across his career? You'd think they have better.

The one who comfortably made the super league dream team, and would make it into England’s squad. 

[snapski]

That was a god awful play the ball, not a penalty.

Come on, not a lot to do then. He's been on the periphery of the game since then, missed quite a few tackles.

Yes, but what have the Romans done for us recently?

Wants sending down for it in my opinion.

It's a Brucey Bonus 'Good Game, Good Game'

[bratman]

Pack has really struggled

[NRLandSL]

ENG 12 - AUS/NZ 12

Fun fact there is not a single player from Tonga in the TONGAN national team.

[Rovers13]

Our forwards been problem think backs have done well tbh. 

[Midlands hobo]

And England are a tier one nation are they....

Asiata would be playing NRL if he’d had the Covid vaccine. 

He's that good that none of the NRL clubs have tried to sign him since then?

Fair enough, I'll take your word on that.

A Great exciting first half of RL that! Some real skill on show! Fantastic advert for our game this on a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon live and free on the country's #1 TV channel! 

[dkw]

Enjoyable half, Tongan forwards on top whereas our backs are looking good.

Really need to cut out forcing passes that aren't there.

[Dave T]

This is what we want. Good competitive Tests that don't involve Aus and NZ. Show the world it's competitive, build them up each time. 

Cracking entertainment. 

[Rovers13]

The contact they’re making far more yards down the middle than us.

This is exactly what is needed, let's hope for a similar 2nd half.
