2017 RLWC - QF4 - ENG 36-6 PNG @ Melbourne

[Saxon]

We will get a Aussie ref for the semi & final..Tony archer ain't daft,a Oz ref for Oz v eng in the opener..gives England English refs for every game after just so we can't whinge like tony Smith did in 2008..archer has even give Australia English refs just to cover his arse..

We've driven the neutral ref issue for years,we want neutral refs! But Australia's attitude has always been "we want the best and most experienced ref...as long as he's australian"

But you will anyway.

Fair dinkum, you guys would whinge about sunshine at the beach.

 

[Disinterested third party]

It's got nothing to do with nationality. He's right. It will be an Australian ref in the final.

 

[AuckMel]

At the game. Small crowd in. Should’ve been in PNG.

English ref.

 

[Burns]

England really should be too good here. Interested to see how PNG play outside their home ground.

English ref.

Looks terrible on tv

Looks terrible on tv

Few more have come in so let’s hope it builds.

 

[Front-Rower]

Embarrassing crowd for a quarter final of a World Cup. Surely you would think the organizers could foresee that a game not involving Australia in Melbourne would bomb. Better off playing it at Penrith or Shark Park, heck play it at Leichhardt.

 

[Jack Deth]

Bloody English ref and not a good un either.

 

[no name]

Mead knocked himself the f**k out

 

[PARRA_FAN]

I thought they bombed that.

Id be surprised if Mead returns

 

[King hit]

Dissapointing crowd for a quarter final

 

[2 weeks]

Tell Mead he is Billy Slater and get him back out there.

 

[Uncle Kraka]

Are the head knock rules different for the World Cup? Surely mead can’t return. He was a dribbling mess on the ground

 

[Burns]

Bombed try PNG!

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Argh he dropped it. So close

 

[Burns]

I have never ever seen a penalty awarded for that, wow.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

lol what was the Pom supposed to do? He was getting carted over the sideline. Rough call.

 

[Billythekid]

Bombed try PNG!

Feels like the ball never bounces the right way for the minnow nations.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Great kick Hodgo
