Representative honours (& game day thread)

Wow, that was a 15 pass try to Katoa

Lolohea fantastic compared to Kiwi's SJ


HT 12-0

 

[HoldenV8]

Jackson Hastings playing halfback for the Pommies.

Hasn't exactly set the world on fire so far tonight. Right now the Pom's best chance would seem to be waiting for Tonga to tire in the last 20 of the game.

How did Horsehead award that? Sure it all looked good but Katoa was about a metre in front of Jennings when it was kicked.

60 mins
AFB back on and the Pom winger thought he could elbow him 😛

 

[HappilyManly]

Why didn't the Ref rule a foul on Tonga 20 tackled without the ball 🙄

14-0

 

[ALinda]

Great defence by Tonga, so much so the Poms still haven't scored Expected better from GB.

AFB hasn't had Donny on his back...and it shows

 

[HappilyManly]

Tonga win 14-6

So powerfull and creative compared to the Poms and Kiwis

AFB was fantastic

Wonder at what point the poms have a look at the worth of Bennett's coaching.
He hasn't set the world on fire in his tenure and he wouldn't come cheap.
He had the full Great Britain lot to choose from not just England this time...

Plus picking 3 Aussies in the Lions side would be offensive to the Poms

 

[HoldenV8]

Cue Garry Schofield blaming the inclusion of Aussie's in the Pommy team in 3, 2, 1.....

 

[HappilyManly]

Fifi was the only one who was slow, error prone and head highed

All the other Tongan's especially Lolohea , Hops and Katoa were great along with the new fullback Niu

Roos won't have it easy next week but it will be a great game

Weighty or not - what a beast!

 

[ALinda]

"Tonga produced one of the best tries of 2019"...can't argue with that, it was superb

 

[The Who]

I thought it was a great match. The Tongan forwards are the most fearsome of any pack I've seen.
How good has having one ref been?
Anybody with half a football brain will surely realise that one ref is better than two. Which means that the NRL will stick with two refs next season.

Tongas attitude of Never say die led to this great try

Tonga played with more belief and passion then the Poms and the result was for all to see

Sorry Who,but have to disagree with you,I thought the reffing was atrocious.If Manly were the Poms and the Roosters were the Tongans this forum would go into meltdown...
Blatant forward passes by the Tongans let go,hands all over the ball constantly in tackles and holding down in the tackle,walking off the mark gaining extra metres at the play the ball,markers not even close to being into position or square and allowed to be involved in the play,guys in front of the kicker and not called.
In saying that I thought the Tongans were great,the Poms defended well but need to make a few changes.
