Nrl match bans should have nothing to do with representative appearances.

I see Ligi Sao has been called up for Samoa to replace Luciano Leilua. Doesn't really make any sense. They need a edge forward, not another middle forward.
Maybe they're just cheap and don't want to fly someone from Australia over. Faitala-Mariner might've been a better option.
I hope Izack Tago is seen as back-up 2nd rower if one of Tuilagi or Su'a gets injured.

I hope so too. Once Taylan May is available it's the only way to squeeze them all in

Niukore offers more then Kenny
Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad and Kris is a hard one they both played well against Leeds.

NAS and JWH are going to have to cut some of their dirty shit out of their game for this World Cup. The British refs wont have a bar of it.
Mulitalo was a really useful player to get into the Kiwis, has to be one of the most devastating wingers the Kiwis have ever had.

Looked dangerous last night, nice little burst of speed to get round his man a couple of times
A four-midable afternoon with England Knights for Josh Thewlis
JOSH Thewlis had quite the afternoon for England Knights as they wrapped up their post-season schedule.
Interesting that England had two teams playing warmup matches.

Think that was supposed to be Scotland’s wc warm up game against essentially’England A’

Fuggin love nikoras lines. It’s tough with him and papalii I mean pick and choose your poison. I would be tempted to keep Nikora there. Nothing wrong with competition for spots. Can only mean good things.
England are finalists for sure, I think Australia's game against Tonga will be a grudge match, the Aussies will have revenge on their minds. New Zealand have a fairly easy pool with Jamaica, Lebanon, Ireland.and Fiji. Will probably play one of the island teams in the quarters with Aussie in the semis.
Sugar Ray
If England are finalists, then Australia and Tonga won't face each other because they'd both need to make the final to face one another.

Good kiwis hitout, lot of handling errors and loose carries but hopefully we gel into a powerhouse unit, can't help thinking we look a bit fragile and the Aussies would have carved up but we'll improve. Halves looked a bit dodgy but Hughes was good, controlled it well when he came on. Mulitalo what a weapon.
Motota
True wasn't much of a competition, could have been a bit complacent. We weren't at full strength either mind you, they werent our first choice halves, we get manu back in the side at either center or full back, JWH and the panthers forwards.
Our first 3 games are Lebanon, Jamaica and Ireland so you'd hope after those 3 games we'll have ironed out the kinks and be contending.
Wrighty
Don't want to peak too soon anyway.
The Jamaica game may actually be less of a test than the Leeds game. Will be a while before we role out our full strength squad.
