It's clear for all to see that O'Loughlin is a passenger. A liability even. 30 minutes in, he's throwing his typical high tackle, at fault for NZ 2nd try, and reefing the ball on the 5th tackle under the sticks. Unbelievable that Cuthbertson is not at 13 for England.

No surprise really .

Most over rated player I have seen in rugby league, said for years. Never deserved the praise he gets, a very average player.

But he isn't alone looking a passenger here. Whitehead is another over rated player.

Would rather have seen Percival at centre for the injured Reed and then Bateman and S Ward given a chance in the back row

2/3 years ago I think he deserve his place as loose forward but it's clear now that he shouldn't be there. Said on the Wigan board that he should have retired from internationals like Peacock did to prolong his club career.

Not just a Wigan bash before any of their fans complain because I think Williams is having a very promising game. Whilst Hodgson did ok, Roby's introduction has made the world of difference.

Stevie ward would struggle with his crutches

Forgot he was injured lol.

Thought O'Loughlin had a very decent game overall.

Thought he got better as the game went on, he's not the attacking threat he was, but he's still a great leader, and defender. I think he'd be better in the 2nd row, and Graham at LF as a 3rd prop.

O'Loughlin was poor in first half but stepped it up a gear in the second (even without the try) Taken on his second half performance alone he deserves his place IMO

Tbf he was good in his late stint after coming back on from the bench. Even before that try he was being more sensible in defence not risking the penalties he always looked like doing previously in the game.

Thought Hall and Watkins had strong games but could've done with better service. Hall outside Bateman, I think Bateman's a good player but like others before him, a 2nd row doing a good job at centre in SL doesn't mean they should play there at International level. Hardaker, steady away. Solid but more to come.

Lockers earned his spurs in the 2nd half after a poor first half

He's definitely a leader and at that level it certainly pays to have one
