CAN HOSTS COME BACK?

SHAUN WANE’s contemplative face at full-time said it all. How are England going to make up a 20-point deficit in seven days? No doubt that is what he was thinking.
And how are we going to deal with Reece Walsh?
Last week the RFL announced that the player of the series will be given the inaugural Fulton-Reilly Award.
Walsh put down a massive marker at Wembley to become the first winner of that medal. It’s already hard to imagine another player winning it, assuming that Reece can stay out of injury trouble at Everton and Headingley in the next two weeks.
After winning the Clive Churchill Medal as the outstanding player in the NRL Grand Final three weeks earlier, he was clearly the outstanding player at Wembley.
