Thought the penalty that lead to the try was rather harsh.

Agreed, already committed and attempting to make a tackle. Shouldn't have been a penalty.

Wane has said Williams is playing next week and will be captain

Lewis has played well at stand-off, in Williams` absence and doesn`t deserve to be dropped.

I agree.
And not far off another MoM performance.
Afterall Williams didn`t have that good an end to his season.

Seen some interesting - overhyped - views on Matties performance.

First half - he was very good, and his 2nd try showed what real pace he has. Just as impressive was his defence.

Second half - for me (and I expect Uncle Sean) - it was a mixed performance. Some good defensive reads but could have had a 3rd try (I think the pass wasn't brilliant, but not too far off), a dropped ball in collision (unusual for Mattie) and totally out of position for their try from what I could see (stand to be corrected).

I guess Makinson will be back next week if fit, but Mattie has done his reputation no harm at all.

If Lewis reaches his potential he'll still only be half the player Williams is. England don't have that many world class players, We can't afford to leave them out.

I would drop Walker (runs for cover) who has been very quiet along with Clarke. Add Mikey to the bench as impact hooker.

Hooker is a serious problem for England at the minute.

Agreed. I've been disappointed with Clarke & Walkers contributions so far. What are the other options? Bring back Mickey Mac? Leeming? Not really thrilling me..
Maybe Brad O’Neill should have beeb given a shout.

TBH you not wrong, I think Walker is a good player but I just think he struggled against the size of the Tongans. No SL team as that size right across the park. Currently Super League level for sure just not international as yet.
