Hardly care for league too much but feel compelled to let the tryhard talk a lot kiwis just how badly they were SMASHED by the kangaroos last night....

 

AND to think theres probably another 15x Israel Folau types running around these league fields shame they havent changed their mind to rugby yet....

 

hahahahahahaahah kiwis got SMOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol tooooooooooo hilarious

 

as for SBW - what a load of hype he was - nothing but average probably wouldnt even get a gig in the kangaroos.......................................

Kiwis did all right to beat England last week but Australia were'nt gunna choke two World Cups in a row...Still a good payday for the Kiwis...ANZACs showing they're the best league players in the world. 

 

 Aussie put over 60 points on Fiji in the semi final but it was only 16-2 at halftime against the Kiwis.

 

Aussies were even taking penalty kicks which is unheard of in league -showed how much respect they had for the Kiwis defence.....

 

 Hayne who played for Fiji last WC had a good game for OZ so did Kiwi James Tamou who was the best of the Aussie forwards...

Greg Inglis did'nt even touch the ball he was so well marked...

It took 5 Aussie tacklers to stop Vatuvei...

Pity Tuivasa Shek came off injured too as he would have been player of the tournament.

 

Must say the Warrior players had a pretty average game though.

Can see Thurston getting the Golden Boot as he would have to be one of Australians best. But congrats to Arstralia for finally winning something.

 

Hopefully that drug investigation does'nt put too much of a dampener on their win.

 Ha ha funny stuff Brycy..All of a sudden you are acknowledging your Anzac bro's...Had the Kiwi's won, you would have had a go at the Aussie's..
NZL are not better than England...They got really lucky and England would have put up a much better fight in the final as they did in the pool game. NZL were out of their depth against Aussies this year..
Not a great weekend for Kiwi sport this one... Hiding's in the league and 7's and the AB's have won their last game against the Boks for a number of years in 2013!

Reds you need to lure a couple more of the league stars over for the Wallabies. Oz have improved significantly this season and I would say they are about back. Backline starting to operate well and scrum okay. Had they taken their chances better the welshies could have had a hiding on the scoreboard. Add in a few great league players and Oz would be in business big time.
The welshy supporters here like rooitwit and lady mo(NH) must just accept their team is not up to it and got lucky on Saturday. Ditto the ab fans - lean times ahead.
Bok log our sevens side only needs tw o fast loosies from the 15 man code to join the team and we are heading right to the very top. We were beaten at the kickoff because our guys are too small. Need a bit of extra grunt wthout loosing pace. I think Spiesies is made for sevens after a little debulking. Kan kan also could be a star.

Congrats to the Ozzie league players. They were dominant not doubt about it, it looked like no contest from early on. Great team & skills all over the park.
Glad you finally have something to crow about Redsman , lol

 Bean Brain Arstralian rugby is broke through financial mismanagement and corruption so the rugby players they've got have to take a paycut...

 

League players get payed big money in comparison so no financial incentive plus rugby is seen as the soft option so not very staunch playing rugby...

 

Different skill sets required also so not all league players can convert. It's mainly backs that become code hoppers and even then they get thrown out on the wing...get bored out there and go back to league...

...that said any league player that comes from the centres would make good converts like current league stars Hayne and Inglis would for OZ and Folau has demonstrated this.

Beeno... IF ONLY.... rugby could get another 5-10 top line league players - Aussies ould be unbelievable....

 

The skill set in League bit different but what they do better than rugby in general is:

Ball skills / offloads 

Aerial ability 

Tackling - hard hitting defence - although allowed to hit above the shoulders so much would be deemed illegal in rugby

Run harder (game of metres so all about getting as much as you can)

 

A couple of superstars in the code are ex-rugby eg Aussie halfback - Cooper Cronk - Aussie schoolboy halfback.

 

Greg Ingliss

Jared Hayne

Cooper Cronk

Billy Slater

Brett Morris

 

 

Would all go close to getting a gig in the current wallabies within short while....

 

Unfortunately LEague is the working mans game in NSW / QLD and the majority of population prefer this to rugby - rugby is diminished here due to numerous refereeing inconsistencies and penalty kicks... league is generally running and tackling - not too much kicking at all...

 Come on redsman, don't forget to mention that Rugby Union is the rich kids sports in Aussie as alot (not all) of the kids that make it to Wallabies level come from Private Schools -WHICH directly correlates with the level of abnoxiousness by former Wallabies Foxtel commentators as they look down at everything else HENCE the appeal of rugby league to the normal everyday Aussie as you don't have to go to a Private School and your father does not have to know  people who know people who know people

Its true Hawka that Rugby is a rich kid private school boy game here - Not to forget - ONLY IN 2 STATES THOUGH... In fact a public school mate of mine whos parents never had the means to send him to GPS school made the very comment the other day re the Wallabie Forward Pack - all soft private school boys... the real tough nuts generally go through and play league... As for the commentators here - Marto and Kearns are ABSOLUTELY Hilarious... its just so many plebeian types don't understand their incredibly witty sense of humour

 you are absolutely right redsman, their witty humour is most evident after yet another Bledisloe Cup loss, watching their humouress faces is funny enough for me

 haha Im sure it is... but just wait - the wallabies will have their turn sooner or later.

 

I note next years game schedule is now out -

 

Once again the ABSOLUTE IMBECILES in ARU are playing match one in Sydney = Home ground to kiwis then Eden Park and Game 3 in Suncorp....

 

Game 3 Suncorp is most likely to be the game we can finally sneak a win....

 

Although if Tahs perform next season Sydney could potentially become more of a home town trakc - but problem is most Sydney Wallaby supporters don't want to mingle with the masses... all leads to one thing - more kiwis in the crowd than aussies....
