Why did the video ref take about half-an-hour to decide the most obvious offside in history there?
Do they have any Canadians at all or is just just a franchise team by proxy?
One (Quinn Ngawati), which is more locals than the Melbourne Storm have got.
Or the London Broncos, I imagine.
Give me a rugby league 101. Is the 7 for each side the mercurial playmaker figure (like the 10 in union)? They always seem to be half the size of the others. Otherwise it all looks a lot more Total Football than union to my untrained eye, albeit the wings are about the same.
The stadium announcer starting that chant has just set the expansionists back forty years.
Other than the fact that the scrum-half still feeds the scrum (for all that is worth), the halves in league are basically the reverse of union. The league seven is the union ten, doing most of the kicking and the guiding the team around, and the stand-off (six) generally does likewise but kicks less and runs more, like the union scrum-half.
This is a honking match. If Toronto win they should sack Paul Rowley anyway because he is a shit coach and a wanker.
lol absolutely BOTTLED that. London's fifteen fans on the piss as we speak.
The way they were talking, wouldn't all of those players been fucked off for gleaming new ones anyway? So don't know why they would care.
They probably will be regardless, so there might have been a promotion bonus in it for them. It will be interesting to see how they recruit when they get to Super League, because in theory they ought to have a massive advantage over pretty much everyone in terms of location and third party scams.
Zak Hardaker drives home twice over the limit to protect his golf clubs (lol), doesn't stop for the police, pulls into a cul-de-sac, runs off, and then denies the car in question is his when the police come round his house. Relative to his actual ability, which is world class when he's on it, he must be the stupidest cunt in sport.
The NARRATIVE remains undefeated.Originally Posted by Lewis
I only watched the second half, but it was mightily dull. It seems that's the trajectory in modern Rugby League (well, from the little I watch of it). Defence on top. Yawn.
Wigan are the nearest thing we have to a boring NRL team, and Warrington are stodge personified (if Blake Austin doesn't win them the thing next year they should be forcibly folded), so it was never going to be a classic. That said, my internet was dead from half-time to the seventy-fifth minute, so I saw a pretty decent match.
New Zealand v Australia was fun. It's hard to cheer against the Kiwis in the matchup, too.
Australia clearly haven't sorted out the new teamsheet with Cronk, Thurston, Slater, and Smith all out of the picture. It's a lot of shoes to fill.
It does suddenly look like a team with holes in it. The English and New Zealand forwards have been as good (even periodically superior) for a few years now, but Cameron Smith could win the ruck for a wheelchair side, so that covered for them a lot, and then obviously your halves were always just miles better. Now you still have the advantage there, but not massively (not at all if Kieran Foran ever pulls his head out of his arse, but long-term when Kalyn Ponga inevitably becomes an amazing six), and it's hard to see who fills the nine shirt for years to come. The 2013 World Cup side would hammer the current crop.
That was a hell of a generation of players. Unbelievable talent that hasn't been replaced yet, but surely with how big league is it's only a matter of time.

What a twat.
Simmonds a shoe in for 8 as a result you'd think.
Sunday arvo down here.
I reckon Cleary and Keary is probably the long-term partnership.
I thought Nathan Cleary was pretty poor in State of Origin (understandably), so on current trajectories Luke Brooks could have that spot off him before the next World Cup.
Surely DCE and Munster are the blokes to play in the halves going foward.
'DCE' doesn't like STRUCTURE. But yeah Cameron Munster plus one is about right. I forgot him.
Micheal Morgan?
Fourteenth man, in accordance with 'it worked with Queensland' rules.
To be fair, that's been a solid rule.
lol at the shitty crowd for this. It's almost like doing this test series every other year is getting dull.
I always wonder whether it hurts for Denis Betts to speak.
Makes Sean Dyche sound like a choir boy.
Sloppy game this.
I think that makes us lineal World Champions. John Bateman is going to be quality in the NRL.
James Graham is the world's best Scouser.
Someone should turn 0:43-0:50 into a gif.
Single-handedly bullied [Sir] Cameron Smith out of representative football.
We are getting murdered here, even though it's only 3-0. I really can't see a northern hemisphere team ever challenging at the World Cup again.
Weren't South Africa toilet two years ago? Have they found a load of township legends since?
Nothing wrong with that. He had his arms out, but he just bounced off him.
Celtic Twitter absolute fuming over it when they're not even involved. OBSESSED. Enjoy your crap cup named after an ill bloke.
First half was rubbish, if we do that next week we'll be twenty points behind. Also, Owen Farrell is an idiot. Shouldn't have mattered but apparently Jonny May is totally invisible (apart from the 80,000 of us screaming for the pass both times)
The Springbok hooker constantly throwing it over everyone's head when the maul looked deadly was reminiscent of some of what their cricket team has got up to in winning positions over the years.
We had a good laugh at those, the Jonty behind us slagging off their 9 was good value too.

He's not even dead yet. What were they thinking?
We should really have been playing our game earlier for the Andre Watson Shield.
The Peter Hain Shield.
Tommy Mak.
Fixtures are out.
The 2019 Super League fixture list has been confirmed and Wigan will launch their defence of their Super League title at the home of their rivals St Helens in January.

The first of what will be about six meetings no doubt. 'Why are crowds so shit?' Dunno mate.
