TEAMS TALKING POINT:Â
England named a few more NRL stars than usual, taking advantage of the new international rules, but a mainstay is Herbie Farnworth who has become the game’s best centre over the course of his two year stint so far at the Dolphins. Tonga named a strong side with a forward pack that looked plenty superior to England’s. Isaiya Katoa gets a chance to shine on the international stage again, and boost his already growing reputation.
