52.5 start for PNG?

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

What was the penalty on the right winger for? Swinging arm to the chest?

Ask the ref not me. PNG could well be penalised in every tackle they've made so far I'm surprised the ref hasn't blown 20 penalties. Then again he is a Kiwi so it's no real surprise he is below average.

 

[The 18th Man]

Looks like the bookies made a good call unless Australia ease off.

Yep. I'd be a broke bookie :lol:

Australia will keep the foot to the floor. They won't have any other chance based on what PNG are dishing up. Hell, England are a chance to win a game.

Lockyers ribs are gonna f**ked after this game :lol:

For what :?

 

[cleary89]

Oh come on.

 

[adamkungl]

another woeful set from PNG. Need an NRL coach imo. Lack of structure rather than lack of talent is their biggest weakness

 

[Marshall_magic]

Thought the wet weather would help PNG by keeping it tight, but the Kumuls can't hold the bloody ball. Awful game thus far, hopefully the Kumuls offer a little more in their next 2 games.

 

[ME SO HORNBY!]

At least France showed some ticker last year. If last years French team met todays PNG team i reckon France 09 would towel them.

 

[LatK7]

Nice tackle on Slater.

 

[adamkungl]

lol was that a headbutt into Tate?

 

[Dragon]

Go the jukebox! :lol:

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

At least the Aussies aren't keeping up with the clock anymore. PNG's middle of the ruck defence is immense, it's as good as any other side in the comp and totally out of proportion to the rest of their game which is hopeless.

 

[Danish]

PNG are just giving them the ball back so they can try and iron someone out again :lol:


Seriously, all any of them are hoping for in this series is to put a big name flat on their back. It's a farce but it's entertaining

 

[morri (cWo)]

PNG need to work out the difference between showing passion and giving away stupid penalties

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

At least France showed some ticker last year.

Are you kidding? The "ticker" from PNG has been huge. Routinely dropping the ball in the in-goal, not so much.

 

[pcpp]

If anything the scoreline proves that the England v PNG game will be a cracker...

England were also down 26-0 against Australia at half time last year!

 

[Marshall_magic]

PNG starting to ease up a little, 26-0 at halftime, maybe the 52.5 is enough.

 

[cleary89]

Was that no points in the last 15 mins?

Hopefully the go stick some glue on their hands. Going ok when they don't make a mistake.

 

[Dragon]

Coaches half time speech -

Dont drop the ball
Dont give penaltys
Kick on the 3rd
Pray for a f**king miracle
Jukebox keep doing what you're doing, break lockyer in half if you can

 

[adamkungl]

Even without the mistake's they are woeful in attack. No kicking game, not making enough metres.
