worst effort I've seen from TT .... unfortunately .... still love him though

Don't watch it then.
At least spare us your whinging.

Thanks for the advice I wont, 2 games is more than enough for the off season. Its still a low comp. And you should give advice on whinging, Ive heard it all now.

Glad you're taking my advice.
You are always entitled to my opinion.

The frogs didn't give up. It might seem like its a dud tournament, but we need to spread the rugby league word. It's much better than watching Jamie Durie.

I don't think it had anything to do with effort. He was stuck out on the right wing and we kept pushing left and up the middle all night.

Hard for him to get involved how he normally would. He had very very limited chances

Tommy didn't have the happiest of games I guess, but TBH as Belcher said in commentary, he and Will Chambers were catching colds out on the right and most of the time they only saw the ball on kick returns or early in the tackle count when the forwards were still getting back onside. On the few occasions when the ball was thrown right, it usually got as far as the second rower before being turned back inside to go left again.

Then of course, they went right after Tommy went to fullback....and Holmes scored. Couldn't take a trick really. You could see his body language when Holmes scored and if you see a replay, Chambers is looking at him like....yeah.

At least he came out of it injury free and we can't ask for more than that after losing Walker and Jake in recent green and gold games. And he would have had at least one test try to his name but for RCG being penalised for obstruction. You know, it never ceases to amaze me how the majority of NRL decoy runners still haven't learned to run through the line and keep going rather than stopping in it and causing an obstruction.

Did anyone else notice that last week when Morgan was on the left, Smith kept passing right to Cronk and this week when he was on the right, Smith kept passing to Munster on the left. But Morgan does need to start passing more as well when he gets the ball. He tries to do too much himself.

This ref goes alright.

What I liked is how he was actually making the Aussie scrum bind like some sort of real scrum, not like those we see in the NRL where you could drive a road train between most of the back rows and not hit anything.

yes but the chances he had he didn't make the most of .... pity the obstruction robbed him of the opening try ..... he dropped a few balls

Turbo was unhappy, nervous and frustrated in the lack of ball he was getting. He fumbled/dropped at least 5 times

Will serve a valuable apprenticeship at the Roos during the RLWC

How Morgan is starting over DCE dumbfounds me to no end.

Fine with me. He gets the jersey and no chance of injury.

AFB and Kapow Show on now v Tartan Daks

Venue is Christchurch where Manly will play in 2018

 

[Harvies elbow]

This ground reminds me a bit of the old carlaw park.
Great story on Russell packer helping handicapped kids play rugby league.
A bloke who has done the wrong thing doing good.

 

[HappilyManly]

Great pass from Marty for the first try.
His offloads are really well directed today

Don't think DCE was available for selection due to the hip injury.

 

[Class of 96]

Another nail biting finish coming up in the Sheep Shaggers v Haggis Tarts game.

 

[Harvies elbow]

As ordinary as Scotland may be I think the kiwi's are looking good.
I thought so last week against Samoa and we're probably were the best team of the lot.
And I thought they'd struggle because of the names they have got not playing.

That's what they get for not storming onto the field with Scotland the Brave blaring out around the ground.
