Donoghoe named player of the match what a performance dragging a side full of part time players to nearly beating Australia

I have a feeling the George Williams haters are going to be a lot quieter in 2027

I'm not a hater. Far from it. I've said over and over, when he played for Canberra he was one of if not the best halfback in the competition. I just have doubts over his ability as a 5/8 at this stage of his career. I hope he proves me wrong.

As much as I want Bostock to crush it it's kind of lucky for us he didn't score another hattrick etc today in terms of his stock is already high but we don't want it going too much higher until he re signs with us ideally. He didn't do anything bad today really despite Australia being awful but also didn't stand out like last game.

While Turbo did stand out with the tries, but was absolutely horrible on the field he is really absolutely not a winger lol he looked so lost out there at times and played about as badly as a winger who scores a hattrick in a game could have played against a tier 2 opponent, he looked lost against NZ too at times.

I don't even know what Australia can do with these slug forwards I guess bring Yeo and Collins back in and I would probably have Murray play max minutes whether thats at second row or in the middle and split prop/lock duties with Yeo, then Martin and Preston have to be the second rowers and take as many minutes as possible away from several of the middles who played today and Cotter should get dropped entirely (and Fifita probably)

Do we pick Dearden or Walker in the 7 next week, it's actually a tough call

Has to be Walker even though he was pretty poor because Dearden is a 5/8.

England went better when Mikey Lewis went into 5/8
