Cherry gets bench spot over wobby farah for the first final. As reported on fox sports news this morning.

So Sheens has not gone senile just yet.

 

[HoldenV8]

And Wests Tigers (and presumably some NSW) fans are starting to blow up about it. If they had any idea they'd know DCE is a much better option than Farah would ever be.

Though farrah tried to run the show too much and play like an extra half. Not what we needed. Hookers need to know when to be part of show and when to get the ball to the guys that run the show

it is ingrained in his game because he has had to do this at the tigers for the last few years, due to them having one of their halves on the field but MIA each week

NEW York will officially be awash with beer - and Australian lager at that - if the underdog American Tomahawks upset our Kangaroos in their World Cup playoff this weekend.

Manhattan bar owner Matt Astill, who was born in Sydney and played for the Manly Sea Eagles, has promised to provide free beer for an entire day if the US win their quarter-final in Wrexham tomorrow morning.

Not only does his midtown watering hole, The Australian, have Coopers on tap, it's also become a favourite for holidaying NRL coaches and players.

This morning's Kiwi v Scotland went as expected.

Highlight was SBW crying like a girl in the 1st minute, after he crusher tackled himself. He came off after 30 minutes and was filthy at the Refs for not awarding a penalty 😀 He in fact caused his neck snap by trying to force his head back out of a legitimate tackle, and lost the ball in the process.

The amount of times Skivi and Choc get burners and don't resort to tears, not to mention when Wolfie broke his neck and had Slater molest him, all without shedding a drop - the S in SBW must stand for sook

Foz's kicking was as crisp as ever, and the Scottish counterpart Danny Brough was equally impressive.
Apparently he was the “Man of Steel” this year. An NRL Club should pick him up as his control of their game was almost as good as Foz's :idea:

Mmm Coopers.

DCE played almost all of the second half in the USA match this morning.

He is so like Beaver, started on the left centre and then played hooker when Smith went off. Scored a try from an offside position (disallowed), but he has crossed over the try line in each of his Roos games

The best flick pass you would ever see, was in the 78th minute when Parker flicked it to Hayne for a try.
Benji has now been erased from the NRL's leading flicker list🙂

watching Kiwis vs England. Already Sam Burgess uses his Rabbitoh diving training to get a penalty. Typical Rabbitoh grub tactics.

Thats the 2nd dive Sam Burgess did in the game and gets them 2 points.

---

lovely catch, Foz!

Very good intense, close game here, both sides matching each other in skill and determination.

 

[manlyfan76]

NZ looking tired.

 

[eelcatcher]

yeah. And no offence to Wolfie, Kevin Locke makes wolfie looks bad in defence. And Isaac Luke can't kick. LOL on SBW, called on False knock on, karma hurts.

---

Wow, what an amazing game. Foz did well, hope he doesn't get smashed next week.

 

[manlyfan76]

Wow! Great game. Sam burgess mom lol.

 

[Dan]

Thurston has had a crap series and we would lose nothing by replacing him with DCE

 

[Brissie Kid]

Poor England.

I think Cronk is the one who has been way below par since SOO 😎

JT just holds his passes too long for some reason, he blew two tries by not offloading quicker today :-/

But Jarryd Hayne is a Snake clone IMO.
Wonderful sidestep and just knowing where to be and accelerating from a dead start to boot. Will be good to see how he links up with Hops, Parra may surprise a lot of knockers this year.

DCE only played the 20 minutes, but he is a true Team Player and constantly offloaded, instead of hogging the ball like Cronk did

His dummy half runs are also starting to be threatening - hope he passes on his tricks to Matty 🙂

This kangaroo team has a couple of players in Tate and thaiday who would not be ranked in the top 10 in their position on last tear's form. But I'm glad our guys are all resting up over summer!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Wow! Great game. Sam burgess mom lol.

I can't recall ever seeing a better test match. Burgess had a huge game. Have to feel a bit for the underdogs losing with a try 20 seconds from time. Amazing move by Whare. The final should be a worthwhile contest.
