Jillaroos in control 14-0 18min gone KTC..

I would like to see a punch up in this game

The difference at this stage between Twal and Moses is that the former is all about consistency of performance with impressive stats. Moses ebbs from highs to lows in terms of performance which at his age is probably normal. However the big difference between the two is temperament, which you cannot change.

And personal responsibility and ownership of your own actions. Moses has heaps when things are going well. When they aren't, it is someone else's doing. Yesterday it was the ref, last season it was Cleary.

Man up you spineless cretin.

Well Harvey, here are the highlights and check out the first Tongan try (Lolo) very early in the game, the try scorer appears to me to be receiving the ball well off side by about a metre! It is easy to judge due to the 10m line dividing the passer and the receiver.

Yet the Lebs had a try disallowed by that no. 15 maybe being in the way, was a lot less blatant if at all compared to that the first Tongan try.

And Tongans last try we cannot judge whether the tryscorer was on side or not due to shadows and lack of cameras but seems suspicious how could be up there so quickly.

The Kiwis are playing like the Warriors do every week. A team choc full of talent, but together they play like crap. With the line up they have, they honestly should be blitzing it. I can't fathom it at all, must have something to do with the coaching, though really with all the experience they have, the coaching shouldn't even matter.

And to think we considered Kidwell for coach. It would have just about destroyed our club

I never rated Kidwell. Especially when he was our defensive coach and we had the worst defence in the comp. I knew the Kiwis were in trouble from the moment they signed him.

Great effort from Alex Twal
169 tackles (1st in RLWC)
97% tackle efficiency
530 metres gained (2nd in team)
And he's 21.

(from twitter.)

Good chance to impress the probable new NSW coach.

Great stats especially playing against quality opposition forward packs in Australia, England & Tonga.

And whilst playing against the most destructive and dangerous forwards he still has a 97% tackle efficiency!!!

So glad he is on the bus and I hope we can wrap him up long-term because he is going to be a rep star!

Ref ballsed that penalty to PNG up…shoulda been England penalty..

There is something seriously wrong with you. Get help.

:crazy

Magpiecol, did you view the video? It is blatant off side so Moses was correct about the ref's decisions. that team have copped the rough end every game (dunno about Oz game)

You might see one in the Aus v NZ if the final turns out that way.

I know I'm an Aussie and all, but I must admit a small part of me would love the see Fiji take out the WC. I love em! Their passion & their stirring prayer song before each game, whilst all the other Islander teams do their macho posturing Hakas and war cries. Yep I wouldn't be too upset if they won the whole thing at all….except for maybe the Hayne factor... :unamused:

I'm not sure anyone considered Kidwell as a head coach of the Tigers

"The Daily Telegraph can reveal Anthony Griffin, Nathan Brown, Jason Taylor, and current assistant coaches, David Kidwell and Todd Payten, have all been interviewed for the vacant role."

Let me stand corrected

No sane person considered Kidwell for the role of WT's coach at any stage

Does anyone know the HT Completion Rate for the Poms yesterday?

The only way Kevin will hoist it will be if he jumps the fence WCF day and steals it

I wonder with those little arms whether he could hoist it above his 'fro :smiley:

Also I have it on good authority that the pronunciation of Kev's name is incorrect

It should be Wezs Lilbros

All good now
