Among the most dominant players in the NRL on his day, he has been back to somewhere like his best with South Sydney in 2017.
Giant front rower who ripped through part-time opponents in England’s warm-up – any repeat could be devastating for Wayne Bennett’s men.
The Canterbury Bulldog is consistently among England’s best forwards. He will lead his country from the battle front, and is so close to being a world beater.

Didn’t quite hit the heights of 2016 with Canberra Raiders, but he is still a shrewd, consistent hooker who can pull all the right strings.
Given any room on England’s right edge, the former Bradford Bull and Catalans Dragon could cause havoc with his determined, direct running out wide.
Australian born, his selection had caused controversey, but the 34-year-old Cronulla Sharks back-rower still has the knowhow to be a success in this competition.
