Who cares about wingers when Jack Hughes and Chris Hill are in the squad?

Too easy to handle coming off his own line at international level for me and I came to that way of thinking in his time at Wigan, after initially thinking he was up to the task. He also blows too hot and cold IMO. When he’s on he’s brilliant at making things out of nothing but he starts to drift through games and seasons when he’s comfortable. I thought there were signs of that in this last season with Wire, after initially coming back in to the sport with a bang.

I hand on heart don’t think there’s a fit winger in the whole of super league up to the task of playing international rugby at the minute. I’d say Lineham is the closest in fairness to him but he’s still not quite there IMO.

What’s the attendance? I’m guessing about 3,500

If Percival, Grace and Makinson were playing we would have no trouble making yards from our own goal line. As it stands we can’t

Brian, stop saying 'in relation to....' thanks.

I do like that GB shirt.

Think GB might be feeling that first 20.

Kendall is killing this.

It’s not been his worst 20 minutes, what’s he missed?

That was a t-r-y!!!!!!

Fair play Tonga. The best team in every department

What a disastrous first half.

Where’s our fullback ?

He's playing in the centres

GB have been woeful. Tui running the show for Tonga.
Yet the clowns on here still tipping Salford for relegation again next season.

Pathetic from GB. Pathetic team selections mirrors a pathetic attitude. Someone like Daz Clark off the bench could have added some snipe. Watts, dream team forward of the year, highest offloader in the game left out for the carthorse Chris hill. A level of irony that England have been killed by offloads.

He’s been on the floor most of the half...

How is Hill getting the abuse after that half? Did you not see Thompsons abysmal 8 minutes before he got hooked? I've been saying it for a few seasons now....the 'worlds best prop' is going to have to drastically improve his defence if he wants to make it in the NRL. Sure he'll make his metres up in the last twenty mins though.

Their second try looked a good few yards off.

Coote better than Tomkins? Don't think so.

Positives are Gildart making plenty of meters, looks sharp. Walmsley making dents in them and Whitehead/Hastings on the left look dangerous.

Coote is anonymous. Doesn’t carry the ball away from the line and hasn’t added anything in attack or kicking. Burgess putting the ball down again is frustrating and losing Thompson so early on doesn’t help.

Gildart is a strange one. Can’t say I ever notice him when he’s playing for Wigan but When playing internationals he always has a great game

Daryl Clark is miles better than Hodgson

Coote hasn't been anonymous. I've noticed him putting a few shocking high kicks in right into the arms of the full back. I wish he'd been anonymous.
Get Lomax on.

Would prefer to see Hardaker at full back and Connor in the centres.

I admit that I haven't seen much of Canberra, but Hodgson is so underwhelming whenever I see him. He can't pass from the floor.

I agree. He gets more than enough plaudits from people who know a lot more about the gane than me so I'm not one to slag him off, but it jutdoes my head in how he always has to run 4 or 5 steps before passing. By the time our props get the ball the defence are already on top of then because Hodgson hasn't given them the ball nice and early.
Daryl Clark is a better hooker in my opinion who can still do the same things Hodgson can but also offer even more.

Dave Woods mentioned Jason Taumalola and James Graham in the same breath earlier.
Hilarious.
