I would rather kill my grandparents than cheer against Australia

 

[Mr Angry]

Sadly this game was over at the selection table.

You cannot pick Kata and expect to win against elite players.

There’s too many IMO. Even with Inglis missing.

Maguire shouldn’t be there.

The way our media treats international Rugby League is a joke

Tonga winning today might make the media pull their head out of their ass.

Tui Lolohea looks like he hasn't played a game in forever. Doesn't look very fit.

 

[Mr Angry]

Teddy will have a field day with Kata.

Kata likes to tackle thin air.

Tui Lolohea looks like he hasn't played a game in forever. Doesn't look very fit.

He finished the year on the bench for Wests NSW Cup, that tells you all you need to know.

So keen for Tonga to win, but it's David v Goliath. Hard to win an international fixture with a spine of Hopoate/Lolohea/Hingano/Havilli

What a crowd
