2019 Test - NZ 34-14 Tonga @ Mt Smart

[2 weeks]

Wonder if Tonga can replicate their usual strong second half.

Mary must've given them their halftime speech.

Brandon Smith holy shit

Should be a starting NRL hooker. The guy is unbelievable

 

[no name]

That shows how hopeless the merkins in the bunker are.

Great play from B Smith btw.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Scary how good Smith could be. He's got Isaac Luke's running game, but 10x the brainpower.

Melbourne had better retire Cam smith very soon. In his first chance at elite level Brandon is living up to the hype.

Can’t see how anyone could afford to keep him if they’re not throwing elite money in his direction.

Tongan crowd is better than any other nations- even if the football is not

Like all Pacific island nations mate. And I'm a fifth generation Anglo.

Stating the obvious though Tongan’s need a 6 & 7

I'm sure someone at Melbourne can be as bad at golf as Uncle Nick.

Good point.

I wonder if he likes boats.

 

[t-ba]

Good point.

How else do you get around if rain has grounded all the planes?

 

[t-ba]

That's a terrible call tbh.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Lol Brandon Smith will be almost 25 before he's a starting hooker in the NRL.

He's an absolute gun who is wasting away 1/3rd of his career down in Melbourne warming the bench when he should've been a starting hooker for a couple of years now.

It's mildly infuriating.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Tonga can't knock on or be penalised in this game apparently.

Edit: Hey it worked. About time.

 

[SBD82]

That's a terrible call tbh.

I thought it looked like a strip live. But that knock on call was atrocious.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Tonga just need a half decent half.

 

[Burns]

Just awful

 

[mxlegend99]

That's a terrible call tbh.

From one of the worst refs in the competition it's not surprising

 

[Meth]

Cummins is desperate to get Tonga back in this game

 

[2 weeks]

Tonga can't score even after getting the souths treatment off of the refs.
