2026 Rugby League World Cup fixtures - October/November

[LeichhardtTiger]

Commentary I heard was not glowing on KPP or Latu - both played ordinary games. Anyone watching the game have thoughts??

Latu made an enormous front on try saving tackle on a big unit. He looked comfortable and when Tonga attacked after the Pom early onslaught he was a key cog in a backline move that should have led to a try. Then shortly after, his Pec felt a twinge. But he'll be OK. KPP was surprisingly mobile given his time off. The knock-on late in the game was after there was no dummy half nearby, so he rushed in to collect the ball, but when you are 20 ft tall, bending down can be tough.

Latu just needed some donka rub

He’s a new version of Star, gets injured regularly. Not saying they’re not genuine but just seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Hope he can develop more resilience !

Benji just called me to advise that they have decided to kit out Latu with a new revolutionary injury-preventative outfit.

The New Latu Man range will be available from the Roar Store just in time for Christmas.

Excellent figures especially when you consider that the league game was 2 foreign nations while the union game featured our national side against our rival in NZ.

The wallabies just keep dropping down the pecking order

In terms of our national teams when it comes to popularity

Cricket team
Socceroos
Kangaroos
Daylight
more daylight
Wallabies

Socceroos get insane support when they play in a World Cup but apart from that I doubt their numbers would be that good

 

[Yossarian]

Fair effort by the Fijian women.

Only Two daylights I disagree should be more

I personally would put the women's netball in there for Australia vs the Kiwi girls is awesome best Women's sport hands down and above watching the Wallabies

That’s true, I forgot about the women’s sports too. Matilda’s would easily be above them aswell

Esan Marsters at halfback for the Cooks. A smattering of current and former Tigers in this one.

 

[innsaneink]

If Latu can stay fit we will see a lot of that putting Saukiru away like Donohoe did...as.long as Saukuru can be taught to tackle

 

[wstigers11]

Api wheeling and dealing lol

Saukuru must be tough to tackle

 

[swag_tiger]

Is Ruben Porter still on our books?

 

[wstigers11]

worst thing union did was that deal with stan sport and leaving foxtel.
All the super rugby and tests used to be on foxtel along with the league
Back in the early 2000's rugby was big they used to get huge crowds to games and everyone k ew the wallabies players
not anymore
