One thing we definitely know is that it will be a ‘Test’ match. Both teams are stacked.
They’ve got some unbelievable players in there. If you look at most NRL teams, in the top two or three players there is a Samoan player. So we understand what we’re up against.
When it comes to their superstars, I played against Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Jarome Luai plenty of times, but it’s always exciting when you play against the best.
We saw in the World Cup, we played really well and beat them convincingly [in game one at Newcastle] when we scored 60 points.
But, then we had a little bit of an off-day and got stung in that semi, so we’ve got to be good every time.
I love it because you’re playing against the best players – that’s what you want to do.
We’re representing our game, our competition and England rugby league against some of the best in the world.
For the fans, there are two good grounds there too. Wigan’s a massive rugby town and same with the city of Leeds. I love playing at Headingley.
With the history we’ve had with Samoa over the past couple of years, hopefully people are inspired to come along and watch both teams going at it.
