I always forgot how many small time retards their are down here who celebrate flogging the likes of Scotland like it matters the same as beating them in Union.
They all need to be thrown in a pit.

There were a few of them in the ground going mental for every try. There was also an Australian bloke with a moustache wearing a Scotland union shirt trying to put Nathan Cleary off his kicks for reasons only he knows.
'NAAAATHAAAAAN! NAAAAAAATHAAAAN! LET'S TALK ABOUT QUEENSLAND NATHAN!'
That's just good banter. :D
That one off Origin game in Vegas back in the 80's has really deluded these freaks into thinking that it is still an option.

NRL seriously considering taking a game to USA in 2023, reviving Ashes series
They should take it to Japan. Invade union turf.
Indigenous All Stars v Maori All Stars in Japan would be fun.
94-4, but Greece having Jordan Meads 'pulling the strings' a good four stone overweight (and playing Lachlan Ilias out of position to accommodate it) gives them the moral victory.
I've heard it on the news twice now today that Rugby League was illegal in Greece until a few months ago. Why?
The sport itself wasn't illegal. The original governing body, the Hellenic Federation of Rugby League, was thrown out of the European Federation for financial mismanagement, but the crook running it just absorbed it into another sport he was running rather than hand over control of it. The Greek Rugby League Association was formed to do it properly, and the European Federation recognised it as the new governing body, but the Greek government refused to, which apparently made them unable to play any matches in Greece for reasons that sound a bit more like Greeks being useless than the government actually preventing them. Tonga had a similar episode a while back and briefly competed as the 'Tonga Invitational XIII', and Samoa threaten to do likewise every tournament over pay and bonuses.
This is Jonathan Pearce commentary away from five million weekly viewers.
I was reading this morning that Australia are playing the winner of NZ/Fiji in the semis, I thought England were on course to meet them [Australia] in the semis. Was I wrong or has something gone on in the groups to make that the case?
I thought that originally reading the format, but we seem to have subsequently fixed it so that we have to play the London semi-final (for the good of the game) which just so happens to avoid Australia.
Did they just sing God Save the Queen?
It sounded like half the ground is a bit behind. Papua New Guinea are doing their usual lets go for the biggest hit possible in every collision and lose all defensive structure doing it, and it seems to be going about as well as it usually does against a competent side.
Yeah, this is a bit silly. Sort of the type of nightmare game I imagine happens in junior games where one team is just leagues ahead of the other, so the pattern of the game is kick-off, team gets ball and goes down the field and scores. Kick-off, same again. Repeat.
"Job half done" says Tommy Mak, 38-0 up at half time. :D
And five tries. :cool:Quote:

Video ref on the take.
That's the best Fiji have ever played. The New Zealand they beat in 2017 were rubbish, and they had Jarryd Hayne at six so you'll never see footage of it ever again anyway.
The Obesity Derby was a great game. I'm not sure that Samoa have suddenly 'clicked' so much as Tonga don't have much beyond bashing people to bits, and Samoa are the best placed team to handle that, so their little bit of extra skill paid off.
This is the best half of test match rugby in twenty years.
Yeah, mega stuff.
Not sure how not sin binning a couple of Aussies was the 'fair' way to sort that scuffle but whatever. Shame the Hiku try was chalked off, probably a defining moment.
Meninga is such a fraud.
I'm not sure how that Jack Wighton tackle wasn't complete, but the writing was on the wall a bit when they didn't capitalise early on.
Yeah I agree it was a completed tackle.
The BBC report describing Mal Meninga as 'former St Helens centre' is the opening final MIND GAME.
Hopefully your media gets Mal to spazz out.
Lol at the size of the trophy for the Women's World Cup.
So bad :DQuote:

We absolutey BOTTLED IT, and yet still should have won comfortably. Australia will beat them by forty, which is exactly what the rubbish organisation deserves.
The union ladies were a bit unfortunate to fall victim to the old forward passes are allowed in finals try, and that red card looked like a joke, so I'm guessing the officials were from the Home Nations seethe patrol. How come the set piece is so effective in their game? My assumption would be that women are (say) 60% as heavy as the men but 40% as strong, so once the mass gets moving they find it relatively much harder to stop it.
Half of Samoa is driving around Brisbane today with their wee flags flying out the car windows. Hopefully someone offers them a pride flag for their collection.
In saying that I do hope they make a fool of Meninga next week.
The handful in the ground almost caused a diplomatic incident when they thought the end of the Last Post was the end of the minute silence and started chee-hooing prematurely.
Yeah they're a keen mob.
I just saw Italy beat Australia yesterday, tier two nation lads.
Tier 2 is generous.
You blokes should probably deport any remaining Australian NRL stragglers ASAP.

Manchester: England and Roosters star Victor Radley is being investigated for allegedly brawling with a fellow World Cup star in Manchester.
Radley allegedly headbutted Ireland forward James Bentley at a hotel on Sunday following England’s semi-final loss to Samoa.
It is understood Bentley had been invited back to the team hotel by a member of England’s squad.
James Bentley is a complete prick so this has won any remaining Radley-sceptics over.
Fair enough I didn't know that part.
He’s a loveable prick if it’s your team he’s being a knob on though.
:cool:

At least we won the Robot Wars.
Enjoyed that. The referee meltdown was superb.
The first ladies team to find somebody who can routinely kick it fifty yards up the pitch like a man will never lose a game.
