2026 Rugby League World Cup fixtures - October/November

Australia played fantastic against samoa but what is Walters thinking?

What's the point in having Yep, Cotter and Murray in the same team? You have a 6 man bench but only one hooker and one prop?

If you want Yeo to play prop, why not just start him there?

Then you have strange and walker on the bench..

If Grant goes down, you've got Cotter having to play hooker.

Personally I'd have had Tedesco over Walsh as well.

Glad you aren’t the coach then.
They are playing because they are all tireless dogs.
Walsh brings X factor that wins big games like these. He didn’t even play that well the other night and still scored a hatrick. NZ are going the same path with Ponga.
 
Gosh he rubs me the wrong way. He is constantly going on about "know your worth" well you were being paid $1.2M a season to win games for the tigers and you didn't deliver. So yes know your worth, and it ain't $1.2M! Always chasing the money the habitual whinger!

You do not get the point.

Its about the composition of the bench.

With a 6 man bench, you have a total of 2 props and 1 hooker, as well as 4 halves.

Even if Strange can play in the centre, then why have Mitchell there?

Cotter is a great player but he's not as good a prop as Smith or as good a hooker as Brailey.

If you're looking at individual choices, id have Mitchell and Teddy over Staggs and Walsh, but that doesn't matter.

The team composition and combinations are stupid.

And if you think having 4 halves instead of a extra hooker or prop is right, you're delusional or just arguing for the sake of it like usual.

Victim card played

What an ungrateful turd, most players thank the game for what they have...this bloke has more than anyone...and no gratitude that I can see

What victim card?

There are layers to what Luai and Leniu are asking for.. I'm happy to discuss it but what they are saying isn't false. It does require a discussion.

Kev has coached a team to an NRL GF, SOO series win, Test Series win…he won premierships as a player, SOO series and Test series. This tournament his side has won under different scenarios with a new team and against quality opposition.
You have done exactly none of that.
I think I’ll back his judgement if that’s not too argumentative for you.

Are you kidding? This is ridiculous.
The point is that the team is being selected by a man with vast experience in this field. Your opinion is valid but the evidence is clear that Kev knows what he is doing.
He doesn’t have the resources to fight fire with fire in the middle, so he picks mobile hard working dogs who never give in.
He hasn’t got the bench wrong once. Maybe he does this weekend and then you can come in and gloat….something to look forward to?

LOL what victim card?
You don’t think his race baiting remarks about the media qualify?
The guy has a massive chip on his shoulder as does several other guys like Critter and Leniu. As experienced leaders in that Samoan side, they let their junior team mates and the nation down. They talk a big game and produce very little. They did not have the class to put Tonga away and didn’t even attempt to play football against Australia and were soundly thrashed.
Ever since they stepped outside of that Penrith system they have each found out that they aren’t as good as people were saying they were when they were in it. Yes that has got to sting a bit, but instead of putting their heads down training harder and improving, they have mouthed off. Luai was bloody terrible at the Tigers, to the point that we let him go early. Critter is turning into a massive grub player and Leniu is slowly being penalised out of the game.
Samoa has a great lineup of young talent that is being poisoned by the likes of the three above. For their well being and the future success of the team, I wouldn’t select these guys again.

Lol idc about being right. You are still missing the point. He's gone with 2 actual props and 1 hooker. It's stupid.

Not to mention that Walsh can't kick so you have Munster who's the 3rd choice kicker at his own club as our first choice. Latrell would have been a better choice.

If a prop goes down, you're looking at Yeo with a busted pec playing front row for 80 and if Grant goes down, Cotter to play hooker.

In a 6 man bench, it's a stupid orientation.

You are again arguing that Oh Kevin has achieved so much. Who cares?

No they don't because he literally quoted what Buzz said.

Are you saying Crichton is playing crap at Dogs?
Leniu almost won Clive Churchill.

And just like usual people here are arguing the guy with personal remakes rather than the point.

And the media is white, the broadcasters, most of the commentators (until now), all leading journos are all white.
