Hayne.

Pshaw. Why play an inferior sport?

Plus they aren't just competing against their opponents, they're competing against their teammates. And competing against themselves, trying to better their last performance. It's the nature of an athlete. And smugly relaxing in every international game, disrespecting opponents would be far more damaging to the competition than a couple if floggings. Playing at their best at least shows respect.

This.

Bedtime. Fiji had no chance, but if the ref is going to hand Australia possession and field position then it's going to be a massacre.

Judging from some of the personalities in the Aussie team, I doubt 'respect' is a word a fair few of them even know the meaning of.

f**king typical bird dive. Prick.

 

[Parra Pride]

How the f**k has he grounded this!?

 

[afinalsin666]

Fiji should try to bash them out of it. Big hit time.

 

[undertaker]

Oh boy, this is going to get embarrassing, especially for a semi final. And ppl thought last weeks QF vs USA was a farce. It's like boys playing against men here

 

[Parra Pride]

Oh, fairly easily from that angle.

 

[afinalsin666]

How the f**k has he grounded this!?

He's Jarryd f**king Hayne that's how!

 

[NrlCoach]

f**king typical bird dive. Prick.

He is playing the wrong game!!

It's Hayne, he can do anything, when he is playing rep footy

Too bad he doesn't replicate that form for parramatta.

If Fiji is really the 4th best test nation in the world having made the semis in consecutive WCs, it's going to be many years before we see a team outside of the Big 3 make a RLWC final. The RFL has a big job on its hands to bridge the gap between the Big 3 and the handful of 2nd tier nations below them

 

[thorson1987]

Too bad he doesn't replicate that form for parramatta.

To be fair, he did for half a season in 09

 

[NrlCoach]

Tough call Mis. I think you'll find there's more than a few good eggs amongst them.

 

[Aragorn]

Too bad he doesn't replicate that form for parramatta.

Too bad he spends most of his time on the sidelines for parramatta.

 

[miguel de cervantes]

I'll go as far as saying rugby league needs a rule change or two to somehow allow weaker teams to compete a bit more à la rugby union. The purists may not like it but it would hopefully be better for the sport as a whole.

You obviously don't watch enough Parra games when Hayne is on the field. He carries the nuffies we've put on the field for the last two years the way not many other players could. If he played for Melbourne, Souths or the Roosters people would be talking him up as the best player in the game.
