2017 Rugby League World Cup

Disappointing attendance.

40,203 (or was it 40,003?)

 

[HoldenV8]

Morgan again.....smh

 

[manlyfan76]

Has he actually passed the ball yet? Every time I have seen him with the ball he runs it.

Hayne would have been better.

Gotta love burgess ball control .

Hilarious - Suncorp just Booed Bennett on the big screen

Turbo wouldn't have dropped that intercept like Holmes did

Amazing game. Surprised the Poms were up for it. Bennett's tactics seemingly if you can't beat 'em bash 'em - almost worked.

Who's the idiot MC who just said Morgan scored a try tonight? lol

Yes but feel sorry for poor Jake 🙁

Heard the commentator say that, but I think they might have been booing the replay of Chambers dropped ball because Burgess got him on the chin

Really disappointed in Sam in the final minute tonight, Slater and Cronk being themselves, a left and a right from Sam would have seen them flat on their back and made Sam an immortal

Also full marks for James Graham for calling Smith a "cheating Karmichael Hunt" near the start of the game

Yes but feel sorry for poor Jake 🙁

Jake was there, you could see him in the background when they were interviewing Cronk. He didn't look any the worse for wear after his pec surgery.

The whole squad got medals so even though they didn't play tonight both Jake and Tommy got 2017 RLWC winners medals 🙂

 

[Technical Coach]

Boring average quality game, Australia's forward pack is one of the weakest i have seen along with the outside backs.

On top of that Smith and Cronk didn't really stand out like they do in structured quality club play throughout the WC, didn't enjoy the level at which Australia played at.

Still was good to see the emerging nations offering extra power and footwork closing the gap---while the top teams are not as strong as past. (Bottom is improving top is coming back to the pack)
