For all the doom mongers, that's the point of the RLWC.
I love how people are writing the Kiwis off already.. Gives me confidence they will go all the way.
He is a f**king legend. Should probally be in the nz team imo was our best forward at the back end of the year.Mose Masoe my man of the match. When he was on NZ scored 1 try(Vatuvei late in the game) and Samoa scored about 4 of their 5.
Was a massive performance. His presence literally changed the game. With Masoe on the field Samoa scored 20 points and NZ scored 6. (I think)
Alternatively you could probably make the argument that while JWH was off NZ turned to shit. Probably a bit of both.
NZ can learn a lot from that game.
Most importantly, when they lose their heads and start playing rash, square-up football, they lose the contest. FPN's slap was the beginning of a major slide. Play like that against the Kangaroos, or even the Poms, and we lose.
Super impressed with JWH and Bromwich. Add Matulino (take Moa out) and we've got a handy prop rotation.
Really covered about left centre. Going on what I saw today, Goodwin is clearly not the guy.
The second half was the most entertaining forty minutes I've seen in a long, long while. I hope 7 repeat these games so people who missed out get the chance to see them.Me too , bloody recording died at halftime - was loving it!
