How are people liking channel 7’s coverage?

Prefer it to the 9 commentary team

Was ok until halftime …ruined by Jim Wilson and Laurie Daley .

Daley's shirt and tie is a pisser !

Hobbo, you've nailed it mate. Daley looks like confetti at a funeral.

Ryan Hall is a big fella!

Yep pretty handy on the wing

Josh Hodgson brain fart…. Thru the hands son

McGilvray looks the Poms danger player

Good game to start the tournament off

McGilvray looks the Poms danger player

Was about to post the same thing. Would target him for Wt, except that he is another short winger.
He looked like their most influential player at times.

I thought the Aussies got away with a forward pass two tackles before their first try, plus there were others, must have been an Aussie ref.

That ode before the game was a cringey piece of theatre.
Was a great laugh. Loved the mighty ducks formation and Johnny T swearing ☺. Sounds like it was written by someone who wears a ponytail.

Not sure but hopefully a decent game. Have Kev and Milne playing in that game.

After the channel 7 commentary effort last night - I will never complain about 9 again.

Also some of the camera work was appalling - shots of the kicker over the top of the posts was childish and the closeness of some shots (some scrums) had the picture out of focus.

Hopefully "Ode to Country" can be put to bed now - it was embarrassing. Idea was good but no meat in the sandwich.

The other gripe I had was Slater being "man of the match" - If Klemmer wasn't MOTM I'll walk to Burke!

I thought the poms back three were pretty good last night

It sounded like it was being called by schoolkids. Bloody terrible. It made the old hasbeen Arabs sound good
Apart from that , it was a crap game, the long layoff certainly showed in the Aussie team.
They'll put 30 on them next time if they play again

 

[innsaneink]

Biting allegation from a Welsh prop against a Kumul, who are flogging the weslsh 26 blot half time

 

[old_man_tiger]

Enjoying the kumuls energy today

Who are the old has been Arabs, I have no idea, do you mean Benny?

Ode to country - my god, that was odious.
