I think you've already got yourself in the door as a whinging pom, just quiety.

Can't wait for this. Samoa have improved with each game, and were just 1 stupid Ben Roberts flick pass shy of beating New Zealand Considering NZ won comfortably over Australia, logic would suggest Samoa have a live chance in this one. Could be a historic day for rugby league if they pull it off, on a couple of fronts.

If England win, or lose by less than 17, Australia will miss a tournament final for the first tiem in 60 years.

Am i correct in saying that no "big 3" nation (Oz, NZ, Eng) have lost to a team outside the big 3 since France beat GB in 1990?

Obviously I want Australia to win, but I am predicting an upset here. Samoa by a few points.

There's a rumour going around that Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was going to this game...

He's probably the biggest action star out there at the moment.... That's great promotion for the game.

The coach has yet to make a decision on who his cut from a seven man bench.

In a further blow as he fights to save his job, the four times premiership winner may be forced to shift fullback Greg Inglis to five-eighth because of injury to Daly Cherry Evans.

Speculation was mounting yesterday that debutant Matt Moylan would be parachuted into the side at fullback with Ben Hunt overlooked for Inglis as a Cherry-Evans replacement.


Samoa will head into the match confident of causing an upset with a powerhouse side lead by former Kiwi Frank Pritchard pushing both England and New Zealand in their previous matches.

“We are definitely not taking Samoa lightly,’’ said Australian forward Josh Papalli.

“It is a Test match for us and we will be focused and up for it on Sunday.

“We have to win this game first before anything happens and the focus is on that.”

Working full-time since his split with the Tigers, Sheens suffered only is second loss as Kangaroos coach this year when New Zealand put Australia’s Four Nation’s title defence in doubt with a shock 30-12 opening round win against the reigning champions.

There's no way that Matt Moylan plays. Everything else has all but said he and Johnston are shit out of luck for the series. There's also no way that Inglis will be moved from fullback... and if he was, surely it would be to the centres to get rid of Dylan Walker who has been very poor for us so far.

Hunt should be playing no matter what is up with DCE though. Farah can get f**ked. He has been shit since the Origin series ended this year. Hunt has been in good to great form all season, and swung momentum the second he came on last week.
