''Glen Stewart has been the best on ground''- Ben Ikin

 

[Scorpio30]

Well thats just all we need...flukey f**king tries like that...of course there were too massive gaps out there.

 

[Gmac]

looser?

His passing game has been sub par.

His kicking game has been worse

His last tackle options have looked disorganized

He's made a couple of errors

As usual, he looks dangerous when he runs.

Not his best 40 minutes of football

Was talking about ur comments RE stewart actually. Sorry should of been more specific

''Glen Stewart has been the best on ground''- Ben Ikin

Done nothing so far. Doesn't deserve to be anywhere near an Australian jersey.

 

[Meth]

Was talking about ur comments RE stewart actually. Sorry should of been more specific

Oh, well Stewart has been ever worse

 

[kia ora storm]

Is Ropati or the Beast playing ??.

 

[TimmyB]

Didn't that ball come out of Stewart's grip forward into Hohai's head and then to the ground for Thurston to pick up?! I thought there was at least a possibility it went forward...

 

[Meth]

''Asotasi has been quiet tonight'' Phil Gould

That's funny, I thought he has been the best front rower aside from Bailey so far tonight

 

[Meth]

Didn't that ball come out of Stewart's grip forward into Hohai's head and then to the ground for Thurston to pick up?! I thought there was at least a possibility it went forward...

Yes

Hohaia was in front of him and the ball was propelled into him

Should have been no try

 

[Scorpio30]

Second effort puts Mannering out...penalty denied.

 

[Meth]

Second effort to put Mannering out- the referee really is raping the Kiwis. As I type that, another soft penalty

Mannering really offers very little in attack

 

[Gmac]

Oh well meth your entitled to your opinion. But while we bagging players who have done "nothing" Whats happened to Inglis? Hardly touched the ball tonight..

After being a critic to his selection i must say I've been impressed with Bailey.

 

[Scorpio30]

Oh FFS! Soon as we gave away the penalty I knew we were dead meat...Why cant we do plays like that...We like our going sideways at a snails pace moves.

 

[Dragon]

Just like the world cup final aye. They cracked big time. Hold on, are you talking about NZ or Aust here?

Wow they jagged one win from the last 10, real world beaters :sarcasm:

Another inept performance from NZ, bringing shame the international stage.

I cheered the Kiwis in the WC final, because i hoped maybe a win would mean a new era for IRL. How wrong i was.

 

[Meth]

Credit where credit is due, lovely play from Stewart to put Slater through

 

[Danish]

Yet another game served to Australia on a silver platter with bullsh*t decision after bullsh*t decision...

The only 2 games I have seen us actually have to compete fairly in we have been smashed twice (tri-nations final, world cup final).

Seriously, every other sport in the world makes it their business to help the rest of the pack gain back some ground when a dominant nation emerges. All rugby league is interested in doing is helping Australia make international footy look like a joke.

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

Australia just need the ball really. If they get 2 sets in NZs half theyll score off 1 of them.

NZ have tried hard, there defence has been suss, halves havent helped them though. A quality half or five eigths kicking game on the end of the territory and possession theyve had and this game would be alot closer.
