- BY KYE NEWTON BY GARETH WALKER

LEWIS HAMILTON was a Rocket Man this week, tomorrow he can move into a different orbit.

WAYNE BENNETT confirmed Jonny Lomax is expected to be available for Friday’s World Cup opener against Australia after sitting out this one-sided warm-up in Perth.

St Helens full-back Lomax was the only member of England’s 24-man squad not to have a run-out against a parttime representa­tive side.

But coach Bennett, who picked Lomax in each of last year’s Four Nations matches, said: “We think he’ll be alright.

“He had a hamstring problem but we’re pretty confident he’ll be okay for next weekend.”

Luke Gale, Ryan Hall, Jermaine McGillvary and Tom Burgess each scored two tries.
