2025 Pacific Championships

[Jux]

Rotation of somoas bench was horrible. They had cooked Haas vs fresh Fisher Harris in last quarter.

💯
Gardiner stuffed up leaving those big Samoan forwards on, who you could see tiring, with a tackling machine like May off until the final 22 minutes.

Mariner has been playing strongly. Also think he was ripped off with that no try decision.
Luai smart to draw the 2 points on the half time bell.
Never have thought much of Dylan Brown but must say he has played well this tournament.
The Kiwi pack is absolutely incredible and better than Australia. They only lack a smart crafty hooker/dh.

They'll get Marshall-King back.

 

[Siberian Kitten]

Good game, much better than Oz v Poms. Australia will need to be much slicker than they were in England to beat this NZ team, tho strange grounds and spoiling tactics didn't help. NZ's offloads were impressive and Dylan Brown has suddenly started playing like a million dollar player.

Tyrrell M escaped unscathed here , very lack luster imo

Nice to see the emotion when both teams sang their respective National Anthems, something that is lacking with ours.

All the players full of emotion and proudly singing their National anthems, something we don't always see with all Australian team members.

What did he get, 15 or 20 minutes at the end...the game looked to be gone by then

no complaints here , a lot are bagging Liau ,thought it may have been a subject for the death riders to change the subject

Think he is joining the FOX NRL team

Assistant coach at Manly, no time for TV mate.

Samoa just got outcoached in the end imo... Stacey Jones used his bench brilliantly & swung the game into NZ's favour, they just had too much momentum going for them & Samoa couldn't stop the rut. Why Gardiner would play Haas for 80 minutes, Paulo for 67 minutes & even Tevaga for 50 minutes is mind baffling especially only playing Terrell for 20 minutes when you know he can get through a mountain of work.

I don't think Addo Carr knows the words.

Doesn't want anything to do with it, still pissed at the white settlers all these centuries later.

If you're not gonna sing the national anthem, you shouldn't have the honor of representing your country.

I don't think the laughing J.A.C. ass has a brain. 🤣

Really !!

 

[upthetigers]

He had a brain bleed, which we saw with Temaire Martin - forced him to sit out three years.

Eli Katoa is a weapon of a player, consistent too.
He's been the standard for a few years now.

Its a disgrace what has happened and I also hope he can come back from this.
