If he did play for them I would like to think Mal takes a stand and extends his period of absence. I like what Mal is trying to achieve and this would just be taking the piss.

Just ordered my tickets for next week as well. Sure it won't sell out but I would be gutted if it did.

Samoa is only a dot on the world map and the opportunity to play Tier One nations like England is massive for us, it also aligns with the RLIF Global Conversion Strategy.

As always Toa Samoa is a team in its infancy, unlike England who we hold in high esteem. It is great to see all our Pacific Brothers have opportunities as part of the Pacific Test Series. President Su'a

That's from the Samoan league page which is more legit... I gotta say that's the strongest Samoan team I've ever seen

 

[Foreign Legion]

What about the PNG and Cook uslander sides?

 

[myrrh ken]

Bye bye england

That team could beat oz

 

[Clarkent]

Ben Roberts and junior moors would've struggled to mAke that team

Great team and will give England a real contest. With no Widdop , this game teams of a huge boilover.

Go Samoa

 

[roughyedspud]

Lol love that everyone is getting giddy lol

How does this Samoan team compare to the previous teams for the Pacific series?

 

[milton]

They are going to be even stronger come World Cup, blokes like Moga, Inu, Roberts and Soliola still to come into the squad.

Yeah saw that don't know which page to believe... but I hope the one player they're waiting to include is junior paulo... he would make a huge difference for the forwards
