85 quid for a ticket no thank you

I paid £25 on the day for a seat in the west stand, granted off to one side, but there was plenty of affordable tickets available for the game right up until kick off. You would pay more then £25 for a seat anywhere in the west stand for any wigan game!

That first half was seriously good from england, and after watching samoa yesterday i can't say i am too worried about playing them. They get tired quickly and defensive line speed drops off a cliff meaning easy meters. Expecting up to win pretty comfortably if i am honest after a 20-25 min arm wrestle.

Hope so - I think it may go down to the wire. Wane looks to have done a terrific job though - if they play like they did in the 1st half on Saturday they'll be difficult to stop for any side (other than Australia I suspect).

My concern is someone like Australia targeting Burgess. He’s been phenomenal and the rest is off the back of his post contact metres. I don’t think we have another forward who can really make a dent in defences when we play the best teams.

Thompson in for Lees.
