2017 RLWC - QF1 - AUS 46-0 SAM @ Darwin

[lockyno1]

Would take Dugan any day over Chambers

Either one is meh. Both are absolute ball hogs.

 

[ed-grimley]

Big Mal should give Munster a chance at a WC win. He's really underachieved this year.

At least Dugan is doing well

He's doing alright but the winger outside him might as well be in his tracksuit as Dugan can't pass!

 

[expansionist]

I really like Young Tounamapea as a player and a person - but FFS how the hell does he get selected at fullback after last weeks debacle?

He is going to get found out massively.


In saying that I think on the whole the team is better than last weeks.

Go Samoa.. i would love love love to see them get a roll on and do the aussies.

I wouldn't. They shouldn't be there. Ireland should be.

 

[King hit]

Australia will win this easily. Quite farcical Samoa can fail to win 1 game and make it through yet Ireland can win 2 of 3 and get eliminated.

Who made the call to play this game in Darwin in November? Lunacy.

Every month of the year is hot in Darwin.
Right near the equator.
Are you suggesting that we reschedule the World Cup to another month so that it's like 1 degree cooler or Darwin isn't ever allowed to participate in global rugby league?
It's played at night.... they got it right.

So tired of hearing this.
IRELAND = WEAK POOL ..HAVE TO FINISH TOP!
SAMOA = HARD POOL..HAVE TO FINISH TOP 3!

SAMOA WOULD FLOG THE SAME TEAMS IRELAND DID!

That's nonsense. Ireland came extremely close to beating PNG at their home ground. Somoa were by no means guaranteed in that match especially looking at how average they were against a weak Scottish team.

Papali wonders why Mal didn't pick him.

Plays for Samoa who put him on a chicken and salad diet to try and keep his weight in check.

Papali racks up huge room service bill.

Ohh gee I thunked the Darwin is near Antarctica.

32 degrees and 80% humidity. Humidity is the problem not the heat.

 

[Billythekid]

Hopefully Somoa can put up a fight. I have a bad feeling they might get blown away.

 

[TheFrog]

Mal was always big, but now he is fat.

Much the same as Port Moresby.

Last time I was in Darwin it was freezing....well 13 degrees at 6am in August, on a Jetstar stopover from Manila.

Explain how PNG had three daytime home games.

Port Moresby's climate is no different to Darwin.

Because it’s the Kangaroos playing.

I don’t see why PNG couldn’t play night games while NZ and other southern locations played during the day

 

[JasonE]

Bounty Afoa starting ? Shouldnt even be in the 17

No. The lowest minimum temperature in Darwin for August 2017 was 15.4 deg C. Trouble was it almost 19 deg hotter 10 hours later.
