Samoa is stacked with NRL first graders and Origin players. Don't think it will be a one sided final at all.

Has having more Origin experience helped Samoa here over England.

Interesting food for thought moving forward but the crossroads may been reached with deciding tier 1 and tier 2 status for Tonga and Samoa.

I don't think NZ and England will be impressed these players from Samoa and Tonga get the added advantage of double dipping with Origin and there heritage nation. But can't do it if they want to play for England or NZ.

I would rather those blokes play for Samoa anyway then NSW. Pick blokes who want to wear the NSW jersey and would bleed for it just like QLD players do.

What a game. It’s kinda sad that instead of celebrating such a crazy upset on the world stage we’re lamenting it as well.

It’s kinda crazy, at the start of the comp Samoa losing by 60 was proof that international league is a totally uneven joke of a sport. Now they come back with this huge upset somehow making the final and that is a bad thing instead lol.

Like I get it Australia will probably give them a thumping and England making the final is probably better for the game but sometimes you need to just sit back and enjoy a good game for once.

We got 2 cracking SF’s and a huge upset in one of them.

My biggest disappointment is that NZ didn’t pull through because that would have made for a great GF (imagine the pre game war dances).

Some people just don't get it do you? Absolutely no reason the likes of Luai, To'o or Junior can't be as passionate about NSW and Samoa.

Well, tbh, I’m gutted. Fair play to Samoa. England had opportunities. Not sour grapes at all, but surely a semi-final should be extra time, not golden point. Not crying about that, England should never have got themselves into a situation to think past 80. It’s a blow for the game here. But, tomorrow the sun will rise…

Maybe bad for England but RL’s advance in the Pacific just jumped forward.
What chance PNG or Pacifica get a NRL team within 10 years?

I don't think Samoa will get pumped by 50 against Australia I think it'll be more like 36-18 which is still a loss but not a huge one.
