    Will the English claw the World Club Series level or will the Aussies take an unassailable 2-0 lead?

  4. Nabuli tackle 'a shocker' - Smithpublished at 19:33 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    Referee Ben Thaler opted to give a penalty for Eto Nabuli's clothesline tackle on Kevin Penny, but the St George winger escaped further punishment - to the surprise of the home crowd and Warrington head coach Tony Smith.

    "We played a lot of different rules," said Smith in his post-match media conference. "In Super League, there would have been a red card and a lot more penalties.

    "I would have liked to have known that it was going to be a bit more relaxed in areas. It would have been nice to have been told rather than find out along the way. If that's the way it's going to be, just tell us.

    "I thought it was a shocker but it was class from Kevin Penny to jump up straight away. He could have laid there and got his opposing player sent off."

    It's 1-0 to the NRL in the 2015 World Club Series after St George Illawarra beat Warrington Wolves 18-12 last night.

    I was lucky enough to be at the Halliwell Jones Stadium to report on an excellent contest that kicked off the newly-expanded competition.

    Warrington twice levelled the match with tries from Gareth O'Brien and Ryan Atkins, but the English side were unable to respond to Josh Dugan's second-half score.

    However, the main talking point was this...

    One name missing from the Wigan line-up is talismanic captain Sean O'Loughlin.

    The Warriors and England skipper underwent knee surgery earlier this week and is expected to be out for a number of weeks.

    But head coach Shaun Wane is boosted by the return of half-back Matty Smith, who was suspended for last Friday's Super League victory over Huddersfield Giants.
