2022 RLWC

After the trauma of having Roosters put over 70 on us last season, it's great to see other teams being flogged even worse. England and Tonga each scored over 90 in the final group game!

We are supposed to be NRL standard those other teams are not even reggie standard

AD was great last night, sure it was against Jamaica but he didn’t take the foot off even at the last minute.

Like how Moses and AD linked up at times.

They pulled off a Sheens like play where Moses ran left to right and passed on to a roving fullback on his hip who ran fast/straight onto an inside shoulder that was shifting right & hooker was inside in support.

Could be a sign of things to come.

Carves up eh.

Seemed to be enjoying himself too.

AD said he has family in Lebanon watching.

Probably more support from the Lebanese Australian fans.

My man Robinson is half indigenous, half Lebanese.
Legend too.

Yeah was just curious if it was mainstream sport in Lebanon.
I had to google Reece when i first saw him in the team 🤣
 
I got right into Lebanon's domestic comp about a decade ago when I was obsessed with international league. They definitely play it locally, they had a club competition with quite a few of the universities having their own team. Not sure how it's faring with their economic issues over there at the moment though, hopefully it hasn't folded.
 
It's hard to say who'll win it from here, you wouldn't want to tip against Australia but the Kiwi squad is bloody strong, and I think England is a chance. Don't think Tonga/Samoa/Fiji will pull off any surprises this time. PNG have access to sorcery so they could do anything.
 
I'm not sure if this has been discussed at length but I really think there should have been three groups, there should have been a group for the top tier nations (Australia, NZ, England and Tonga,) and then two groups of six with the minnow nations more evenly distributed. Would have stopped a lot of blowout scorelines in the group stages. Problem is you'd want all four top nations progressing because as it is currently structured thats the way it's going to go.

The 4 Nations they had going a few years back was a good idea. Aus/NZ/England were in it every year, and it alternated between southern and northern hemisphere each year, with the non-big 3 countries from that hemisphere battling it out to be the 4th country. This was before Tonga emerged so I think from the southern hemisphere it tended to be Fiji.
