Seems like they may have made a mistake awarding the Kiwis' field goal.


It's not a very good picture but from the video it looks like the ball actually skimmed outside the goal post. Would've been a hard one for the ref/touchies though, I don't think anyone was expecting the field goal attempt so early and they would've been focusing on forward passes/on side/etc instead.

I went on the tigers' official facebook wall and the comments were very positive; I'm also a member of one of the bigger unofficial groups and the comments were universally negative (and we were all praying yesterday they were hoaxes) so idk

On the same day that Danny Wicks walks away from his contract with the Eels and retires from the NRL after recently signing a two-year extension? I hope there's nothing to it, but that's a helluva coincidence.

Fair enough, wanted to start and whilst solid hasnt really been spectacular - injuries this year not helping.

Means we will keep Elijah Taylor now which is good.

Completely agree

Whilst I don't like losing players with family ties he's been mediocre at best and Taylor is a much more important way to waste our cash.

I guess by trying to make the Warriors into the Kiwis they accidentally also made the Kiwis into the Warriors

Seeing New Zealand get battered like that makes me wonder how the hell England lost to them, even Scotland got a draw out of them. We're absolutely worse this year than last, English rugby league is in trouble but that stretches past the performance of the national team I guess.

That was just a terrible game all round by the Kiwis. They looked completely pedestrian and bereft of any ideas with and without the ball.

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.
I basically avoided that whole 4 Nations tournament.

Is anyone surprised that the Kiwis were absolute garbage? It was a fait accompli that Australia would win, considering the brains trust they had running the team at the top. The Kiwis, on the other hand, appointed a guy who's never coached seriously at the top level, who's still learning the game. There's shooting one's own foot, and then there's what the Kiwis did, which is blast away with a loving howitzer.

The only real surprise is that they didn't get thumped by the English either.

Semi Radrada may have swapped codes and signed with Toulon in the Top 14 French club rugby competition. He also failed to appear in court on domestic violence charges.

http://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl...6f18a1e644cb5d2

And if you're wondering if his legal trouble will give Mourad Boudjellal pause, keep in mind that Paul Perez has played for both Biarritz and Toulouse after being thrown out of New Zealand for assaulting his pregnant partner, twice.

There's nothing else to do in this godforsaken state except drink yourself to death on terrible beer and laugh whenever Queensland teams lose at things. It's either go to Suncorp and hope to see them lose live or shoot myself and save some time.
