Cracking game so far....very fast, Tonga much improved on last start...so far

Kini could be Walsh-level good

Kiwis well on top now, Tongan line speed has disappeared

Steff's not playing for Tonga mate, it's leaving a gaping hole in the side.

Dylan Brown having a big game

Yep, he's been their standout plyer IMO.

I think NZ could beat Samoa. A helluva team with an awesome bench.

 

[Wezt]

Hopoate is not a good fullback and Iongi has only had 1 game of 5/8 in his career

Next year when Fainus back they could play all of them in their correct positions

1. Iongi
2. Hopoate
6. Fainu

Shocking outcome for Katoa. No excuses knowing what they do now about concussions and impacts to the head. Stunned that he was allowed to even start the game

Poor guy needed surgery for a brain bleed last night. He should not have even started after the warmup hit and that they let him return to the field after the 2nd hit is just insane. When he finally came off after the 3rd hit blind Freddy could see he was in trouble. The medical teams have some explaining to do on this. You don’t risk a players life or brain for a game.

I'm sure Bellyache is far from impressed having one of his star edges treated like that.

 

[Moh]

Tragic scenes - whole thing needs to be investigated. There is no way he should have started, let alone come back from two knocks.

I had no idea about the warm-up knock at the time, but watching live - during their war dance - I honestly remember thinking he doesn't look well.

I don't follow Storm closely enough, anyone know if he's had a few concussions this year?

100% , he was asleep from the hit in warm up before he hit the ground , should have been ruled out , where were the team doctors and independent doctors , the guy could have died specially after hit number 2 but 3 hits is just a disgrace , every person involved should be sacked from any nrl or state of origin etc for life

Just before his seizure they showed him on the bench, you could see he was in a lot of distress...he had the cut under the eye and a bit of blood but i rememeber thinking he dont look right at all
