England V Samoa, may 2017

[Pommy]

Cos I'm not a fan of Wayne Bennett..

Well you don't sound a great England fan either.

Campbelltown is easily accessible only 1 hr on the train (t2 airport line) from the city and from Leumeah station only a 5min walk. Then of course there's the large Pacific Island population and they have a fair few English expats there as well.

5 min walk from the station to the ground???? Maybe is you make a slight detour to the Club Hotel beforehand.

The pacific Islander population out here doesn't seem as big as it used to either.

Alot more people from the sub continent live around here now.

Tell that to my bank manager,he knows how much I've spent following England the last 10 years!

I just find it odd to ever want England to lose.
I don't even want England to lose at Vichy ball.
Getting a hiding from a pacific side and changing coach a couple of games out from the World Cup is hardly good preparation.

Ooohh I'd quite happily set off a small tactical nuke at Twickenham..

Looks like milford has put he's hand up for the England test... Should make this game a lot more exciting now

Bennett will probably put it back down...

But seriously would good to see a good strength Samoa give this test and the World Cup a good shake up.

I hope Bennett doesn't... It'll look twice as worse if he does cause he's the coach of England... Media will have a field day lol and this is the first time milford has come out and said he's available for Samoa since the last world cup... A few have put there hand up too moga from the broncos... It'll be interesting to see who the islander's pick... Lebanon is already looking good with Farah mannah and Moses confirmed for them...

 

[adamkungl]

Bennett preventing anyone else from playing would be a massive conflict of interest

 

[roughyedspud]

If Bennett does pull Milford then it's down to Samoa to lodge a formal complaint with the RLIF...

I wouldn't be surprised if they did... But I doubt Bennett will stop him... At the end of the day it's Milford's decision

 

[IntRLEnthusiast]

Milford will play and it will be a really strong samoan side. Does Benji have some samoan in him?

 

[Clarkent]

Nah he's got no Samoan... Samoans will be pretty solid in the halves anyways with milford and Nu Brown from the sharks who's unlucky not to make the starting team cause of Maloney and Townsend in there

 

[RedVee]

I'm hoping to attend. Guess I'll be supporting Samoa

 

[Stephen 'Stevo' Stevenson]

I will also be attending, but showing support for no particular team.

I support Rugby League in general in this instance.

So Stevo is seen with a Pearce avatar, thinks he should play Origin, & is hanging out in the International forum.

Oh, who does this sound like...

[Pommy]

I haven't got foxtel anymore so haven't kept up with SL this year really.
Is Joe still injured? I felt he had a hard time in the NRL last year and that he
Really is a talent.

 

[roughyedspud]
