That was a good game.
Congrats Australia on a tough win.

GREAT defensive display by Australia.
Klien the Clown as usual

Don’t think I’ve ever seen an Australian ref as biased against Australia.

The Clown will always be an idiot.

Best rugby league atmosphere I've heard on the tele. Taumolo's move to Tonga a few years ago has done so much for international rugby league and the ex pat Pacific community. Incredible national spirit from Tonga and a great celebration of Pacific culture.

Of the actual performances the young half Katoa looked a bit out of his depth with lolohea looking the more dominant and threatening. He'll come good though. Collins for Australia was terrific. We need a prop with that sort of willingness to do the little effort things. There is a chasm between the workrate and commitment of our props compared to how he approaches the game. Great to watch.

Three obvious things imho from the Australia/Tonga game.
1.Klein continues to be terrible and has his favourites(Tonga in this game)
2.Mal still can't coach
3.Mitchell Moses is a pretender and is always missing when things are not going his way

Kangaroo test matches in this era have nothing on the test teams of the 80’s and 90’s…..

Klien was only performing to his given script…

Wish I knew how to post pics. Best atmosphere I have been in at footy. Very close to matching 05 prelim. We had 28 in our group (all of my in laws). Only me in green and gold but I did cheer Tongans tries. My wife is Tongan born but Aussie bred. She always cheers for Australia but today was about her heritage and I was so proud to stand with my in laws at full time. I said previously how I love Tui lolohea and why. So proud of his journey. Gee I am getting emotional again. (Old age) Proud to be Aussie proud to be married to a Tongan actually lucky to be married to a Tongan.

A lot of good players unavailable.

A lot of good players unavailable.

With the players unavailable you would beat the 2 actual sides in the final

Would have been tough on Munster in the Fox commentary team watching that display by Dearden.

How Broncos ever let him go is a mystery because he has been killing it ever since he left.

Dearden had a good series for Australia
