Will it be a poor 4 Nations?

[Big Pete]

Like 2009

 

[Joker's Wild]

Well the last time the Kiwis played in the Nth Hemisphere (2009) they went from drawing with Oz in the opening game to missing out on the final all together.

Id say the bad omens are all on your boys mate

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Just read in RLW that Issac Luke said the boys took England lightly in 2009 and won't be doing that again (as evidenced by what we did to them last year).

Haha righto mate, what I was getting at is that if we lose by 16 or something it's not the end of the world. We will get better, but in saying that I'm kinda expecting us to win this game anyway.

 

[roughyedspud]

Not this idiotic horseman shit again. You're embarrassing yourself.

oi...i did'nt bring it up...if fact i was determined to let it lie this year :lol:

 

[Shorty]

Looking forward to it, hoping for an England v Australia final, the Kiwis have been a bit too confident lately :lol: Hope Wales give it a good shake, should certainly do better than the mess that was the Gene coached PNG last year.

Yep, I'm looking forward to seeing the response if Australia flogs the Kiwis and wins the 4nations title.

I think it's just wishful thinking.
The arrogance from the Kiwis is at a nauseating level, you would think that they had dominated the competition and won every game for years with the way these guys bang on about it.
Mind you, it's Fast Eddie and Bobby, Bunniesman level posting:lol::lol:

 

[Skinner]

Yeah Sunday is pretty much a warm up. Fairly sure it only exists to give Lockyer a farewell on Aus soil

No mate, this match was originally to be played in Christchurch until the earthquakes struck.

 

[Fast Eddie]

That's not true. The ANZAC test was supposed to be played in Christchurch.

 

[roughyedspud]

yep it was the ANZAC test

 

[NRL-TGG]

No mate, this match was originally to be played in Christchurch until the earthquakes struck.

This is incorrect.

That game that was suppose to be played in Christchurch was played on the Gold Coast on May 6th, Australia won 20-10.

 

[Didgi]

It was actually the ANZAC test that was going to be played in Christchurch, and they flew over some victims for the game.

Sorry, I didn't think Skinner had been told he was wrong enough yet.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Good, he's a bit of a wanker to be fair.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

I don't think Skinner is aware that he's ever been wrong.

 

[Fast Eddie]

A glorified ozbash at best really.

looking at a possible 17;

1.Elliot Kear
2.Gareth Thomas
3.Christiaan Roets
4.Lee Williams
5.Rhys Williams
6.Lee Briers
7.Danny Jones
8.Craig Copzcak
9.Lloyd White
10.Gil Dudson
11.Ben Flower
12.Tyson Frizzell
13.Peter Lupton

14.Chris Beasley
15.Ross Divorty
16.Andy Bracek
17.Andrew Gay

they look a bit light in the forwards, should have brought in experienced players such as Gareth Carvell, Keith Mason and Glenn Morrison will be lucky if they can get a win, if the kiwis keep going the way they are going then wales might have a chance. I'm expecting Australia vs England in the final.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Which game? The opening 4N game against Australia? You must be basing that on faith alone because all the evidence suggests your boys have a lot of work to do to catch up by then.


You're starting to sound like spuddy

Pretty much agree with that team although i think Jordan James will be in the starting lineup.

Nah if I was Spud it would be 2017, we wouldn't have a won a tournament since 2010 but I would still be talking us up in a big way and rubbishing England who would have won 3 of the last 5 tournaments and going on about some four horseman rubbish for you lot.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Well I did say "starting" lol. No one can possibly reach spuddys level of delusion and tinfoil hattery

 

[hitman82]

I hate to say it, but I think England will be more competitive than NZ in this series.
