A bit sad for Murray to miss out. I'm probably biased but there's no way Hunt should be picked ahead of him! Oh well, hopefully he'll get a chance in the upcoming Tests in the following weeks.

Really, really disappointed with the Kiwis effort last night. jeez we played dumb. The way to beat Australia in my opinion is to offload the ball a lot, move it around and keep their pack moving around. But what do we do, we play dull, one out footy all night when their pack was clearly better than ours. On top of that, Shaun Johnson had probably his worst Test ever and we made so many of soft errors. It was just dumb and I'm very disappointed.

But congrats to Cookie on getting man of the match, a great performance from him.

Sorry for the late reaction, I've had a busy day.

What a great day it was yesterday! I was sure that Samoa were going to smash Fiji but it was the other way around! Stoked with the Kiwis win however, I think we played pretty average. A shame to see Foran injured again too.

As for Tonga, wow! That is honestly massive!! One of the biggest moments in international Rugby League ever! Good on them! It's so great for the game!
