RLWC08

[dc68]

Well PNG were ****ed over last night I hope the reffing improves!!!!!!!!




I reckon we will smash the K1w1s by heaps or get done!!!!

[Jarro]

Terrible opening ceremony !!!

GO AUSSIES :)

[dc68]

Hey at least our black fellas beat their black fellas.... nice start!!!




GO Roos!!!!!!!!!!!!

[henno]

That tackle was as dirty as they come. He was dead set looking to take his head clean off! He got lucky only going on report. "You may have hit the shoulder first". Yeah right.

At least we got a converted try out of it. Get ready for an ass-whooping.

[Jarro]

How good are Steve Price and Petero going :shock:

[henno]

How good are Steve Price and Petero going :shock:

And to think, Petro has copped nothing but crap all week for being a has-been.

[Jarro]

And to think, Petro has copped nothing but crap all week for being a has-been.

... only from a Kiwi :mrgreen:

[PeteyD]

He is a has been, as in has been smashing kiwis to bits all night!

[3oneday]

Pity about the adverts.

I thought League would have been keen to show that the League World Cup isn't a 2nd rate event like everyone says, yet we get Elf and 60 ****ing Minutes instead of live footy ?

Who the **** is running Channel 9 ?

[PeteyD]

Yep. Gotta love channel 9.

[goughy]

This over yet!!!

Oh, yes it is actually :)

[Fishman Dan]

Got to love an opening ceremony... just prior to game 3. And Ref's in pink.

[henno]

Got to love an opening ceremony... just prior to game 3. And Ref's in pink.

Well, the refs in pink I understand seeing as it is Breast Cancer month. But the opening ceremony beinga few games into the series is just rediculous. Imagine having the olympics opening ceremony a few days after the events started to be run. Idiocy.

[Grunt]

It actually did start after the 1st few Football events in the Olympics this year.

[Fishman Dan]

To compare RLWC to the Olympics is a little far-fetched.

[3oneday]

To compare RLWC to the Olympics is a little far-fetched.you jest, surely.



;)

[dc68]

To compare RLWC to the Olympics is a little far-fetched.

Why??? I have already watched more minutes of RLWC coverage than I watched of Olympic coverage.:razz:

[PeteyD]

Coverage of both was delayed!

[Fishman Dan]

Coverage of both was delayed!

Yet they still showed the pre-game garbage.

[Jarro]

I see Slater is still sliding in with the boots again :roll:

Silly prick is really gonna hurt somebody soon if he doesn't cut it out

[sms316]

I read this morning in the Telegraph that the rate Channel 9 were going, kick-off would be on Fox before it was on 9 in Queensland.

Fox coverage would have had kick-off at 9.30pm.

True?

[3oneday]

Yeah, I must have dozed off before that one :lol:

[Grunt]

Tonga

[Grunt]

Nah was a bit of both but I reckon Tonga will get up.

I want to see Wayne Kerr get a good run too.

[Webster]

69'er, take the $1.13 on Tonga to win - they are a weight certainty.

[Jarro]

Ireland for sure.

You got no idea Dick :roll:

[3oneday]

What time is this game showing, 1am ?

[Grunt]

Live on Fox

[Grunt]

The ref is on Ireland that is or sure. Penalty count at 9-2 in favour of Ireland

[3oneday]

So Fox does have some games ? anyone know what games they have ?

[Grunt]

All the games other than the So called super group, Australia, NZ, England & PNG.

[3oneday]

Oh ok, cheers 8)

[Courty]

[Grunt]

Glad to see my bet get up, I had $5 on Tonga 1-12 for 3.50

[3oneday]

Geez, you woulda been worried for 75 minutes or so :lol:

[Grunt]

Especially with the ref obviously backing Ireland

[3oneday]

Was that because of the Souths players in the Tongan team ?


:roll:

[Grunt]

Only 1 Talanoa, more cowboys in it. I like the way the islanders play rugby league, they toss it about.

[dc68]

I reckon Tonga v Samoa tomorrow night could be a bloodbath...... WooHoo!!!!

[Grunt]

I reckon Tonga v Samoa tomorrow night could be a bloodbath...... WooHoo!!!!

Could indeed be The game of the World Cup.

[Jarro]

Well my hope that the Poms would seriously challenge the Aussies was smashed last night.

What a shocker of a game (if you're a Pom)

[Courty]

This over yet?

I seriously have no interest, which is kinda odd 'cos I love my NRL. :roll:

[Eag's]

Mate I hear ya, not sure why but not interested at all :smt102

Get with it you pair :roll:

[PeteyD]

Cos it is delayed telecast, so full of adds and boring.

Cos we only see 2 crap games from the Pool of Doom or whatever they call it a week.

Cos League is still struggling to be international in a big way.

[henno]

I'd rather watch World Cup Curling.

[Jarro]

Anybody give the Kiwis a chance tonight ??

[Grunt]

Anybody give the Kiwis a chance tonight ??

Nope!

[PeteyD]

They are always a chance, but I can't see a repeat of the 24-0.

[chappy1970]

From a non league perspective, this RLWC seems a little like the USA hosting the Gridiron World Cup.

[Jarro]

Yeah, well .. they have to play it somewhere :roll:

[chappy1970]

I don't think the venue really has a great bearing, we just play it more and more professionally than everyone else. Of course we are going to be unstopable

[PeteyD]

There is a gridiron world cup.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IFAF_World_Cup

I have no idea why Australia does not seem to have sent teams to any other than Italy (where we were mangled by the Japs. Very fast little buggas) unless we failed in pre qualifying.

[Jarro]

Bloody Kiwis :smt013

[PeteyD]

Best thing is old man Bennet beating slimey tricky ricky. Again.

[Grunt]

I Didn't give em a chance tonight but I did not expect to see some very silly mistakes from the Aussies.

Good Win NZ, they played their hearts out and the best team won on the night.

[razaar]

Will make the next Aust. vs Nz clash more interesting. Big win for rugby league; our series against the Kiwis have all the appearnces of a NRL country of origin game.

[dc68]

Woeful effort from the Roos.

[PeteyD]

Wish marshall played that well all year. Guess he needs some big forwards in front ...

[damoocow]

Not the best game of footy I have ever seen but a great NZ win - too many arrogant Aussies thinking they had it won at 10-0 - good to see them taken down a couple of pegs

[Jarro]

I hate to agree with you Moocow, but i think you're 100% right ... we didn't show the Kiwi's the respect they deserved last night.

What the hell was Slater thinking when he tried to run down that 2 meter blindside ?? :shock:

[sms316]

I feel ashamed to be an Australian after that effort.

[PeteyD]

I hate to agree with you Moocow, but i think you're 100% right ... we didn't show the Kiwi's the respect they deserved last night.

He was being Slater, that's what he does. Unfortunately his timing was dreadful. Better game was at 7:00 this morning.

[3oneday]

Better game was at 7:00 this morning.
True, sadly the reffing was similar. I wish refs would stick the damn whistle and let the teams play footy, applies to both codes.

[PeteyD]

I think Rugby refs are worse. They can be a lot more pedantic.

[gregh]

kiwi's did what they had to do to win which was play there best ,while aussies did what they had to do to lose play with plenty of arrogance,& 4 or 5 of them not turning up on the night.Don't blame slater cos without him it could have been worse
hate to say it but well played kiwi's

[Fishman Dan]

Is this the worlds biggest ever, ever, ever choke? Ever.

[PeteyD]

No. Patriots losing Superbowl to the NY Giants after going undefeated until then was bigger.

[3oneday]

Not sure about choke, Kiwis played well and the Aussies lost their structure early. I think losing Steve Price was bigger than they made out.

[PeteyD]

Yea, and not replacing him with a prop.

[jaybam]

My two cents worth. Am glad this is over. Coverage was shit. And competition was shit untill last night. Didnt watch the game as i chose to watch Han**** as well. Glad i did as it was probably more entertaining. Only leauge worth watching is the nrl.

[macjackass]

No. Patriots losing Superbowl to the NY Giants after going undefeated until then was bigger. :-s

I think they giants have proven that was not a fluke this year. Best team in the NFL.

[Virgal_Tracy]

:-s

I think they giants have proven that was not a fluke this year. Best team in the NFL.

Tennessee might argue that point (10-0) up until this weekend just gone.

[PeteyD]

:-s

Patriots losing was pretty major.

NFL this year is on it's head.
