Premier Sport missed the best game so far in the Tournament there, and did it for a football game that three men and a dog would be watching! So much for every game in the world cup live!

The game they didn't show live and just showing now? Nope

And they're not very popular for doing it either.

We've been in Perth for a few days now and there is little or no sign that there is an International game of RL tomorrow.

In 2008 the RLWC received massive exposure with each host city putting a great show on. It would seem the NRL aren't perfect and moving games to none RL areas doesn't work here like it doesn't work back home.

Great city though.

I know England are only playing France but what the hell is Stefan Ratchford doing on the Wing? The fact we still have Johh Bateman in the Centres and Heighington in the team tells you everything that is wrong with RL in this country and also the coach

There is only one man to blame for team selection.
He will be sacked anyway after this World Cup.You also have to be critical of the UK based hanger ons like Peacock.They surely should have had some influence on squad and team selection.
We are a boring team coached by a boring overrated Aussie coach.
We may even struggle to get to the semi final but even if we do i think we will be well beaten

Fonua has put on a lot of timber, NZ showed up his defensive frailties time and time again, going to be interesting to see how he goes back in the NRL but I hought he was really disappointing.
Tonga were absolutely immense but I thought NZ were below par.
Scotland looked a far better team, didn't miss Brough, Walker etc, Lebanon were holding Australia to only 10 at half time and had played pretty well.

England need a strong performance against France but the way the side is being picked and the way we're playing it'd just mind numbingly boring, good that McMeeken and Taylor are getting a run out but but the likes og Heighington are simply garbage and Hill and even Whitehead have being bang average, Gale also hasn't impressed at all.

Will be keeping an eye on the PNG side now with an eye on recruitment......

USA trounced but Faraimo came out with some credit. 16 runs, 173 metres, 3 offloads, 8 tackle busts, 1 line break
