It's interesting how many Wigan fans suddenly have 'the good of the game' at the forefront of their minds; I wonder what's brought on this collective bout of philanthropy towards our great sport?

I'm wondering whether Reed was responding to his coach with his two defensive slips, because both involved rushing Inglis. Would he have been told that if the Aussies are in space and it is shipping out to the left, close Inglis down, because it will probably go to him and if you give him space twenty yards out, you've no chance unless you've got the numbers? Or something.

At the game I thought Westward made a few too many errors but when i watched it back I realised he played the full game, half at prop because Graham didn't come back on and Peacock was crocked.

He's bound to tire and make bad decisions. I don't think he will do the same mistakes given a fully fit team with him.

Westwood is a player I hugely admire and respect - but none of the above is any excuse for persistently holding down in the tackle.

He gave away a couple of early penalties, when he wasn't tired, and I'm not happy about him play-acting when he got high-tackled. But when the fight started, he went in swinging, and so he gets a

from me.

Cameron Smith is one of the biggest houses in the game - anyone who gives him a smack upside the head is alright by me.



Benny still had a stinker though - most out of character.

i thought westwood was pretty hard done by to be fair.



i thought jack reed was average, in that he made a couple of crappy defensive calls and failed to draw his man when he gave the ball to his winger.



sinfield and yeamen were hopeless.



great game though. really exciting international encounter.

That's a bit harsh - for the first try, they had very little room to work with and Reed's dummy gave Hall an extra fraction of a second to make a spectacular score.



On that note, I thought Hall was outstanding - the fact that he broke Billy Slater in the act of scoring is testament to his strength and power.



Agree about Sinfield and Yeaman - Sinfield couldn't even kick reliably, which is bizarre given his club record. As for Yeaman - Ryan Atkins must be wondering what the hell he's done wrong.

I'm not convinced Atkins is up to it anymore than Yeaman who I actually think is ok. Atkins always strikes me as liable to do something really stupid

Yeaman has had a cracking season for Hull, but he looks at sea on the international stage.

The one man who thoroughly deserves a crack at the international game isn't even in the squad. Kris welham has been the form centre of super league

Where are Carvell and Atkins?????



Can somebody please get Sinfield out of that number 6 shirt, he'll never be an international 6 as long as he's got a hole in his backside! There were two occasions when the ball was offloaded to him and he was stood with his back to the ball organising the next play. A 6 should be buzzing about the field and know everything that is going on, unfortunately Sinfield looks exactly what he is, a workmanlike loose forward out of his comfort zone at stand off.
