2021 RLWC Mens Final - AUS 30-10 SAM @ Old Trafford

[Stinkfinger]

Goose Gould would as he champions SOO as the pinnacle of Rugby League

That would have a lot to do with who pays his salary (apart from the Bulldogs), He would be required to support their product. If Nine had the WC he'd be the same over that.

 

[Blues Riff]

I don't doubt media would go nuts, they always do, but not sure why Gus would be worried.

Especially when Gus had a lot to do with bringing many of these players through to first grade (both sides). He'd be as relaxed about this as the Penrith fans are. Win/Win.

 

[Blues Riff]

If Samoa win it’ll be a huge shot in the arm for International footy.
If Australia win Jarome Laui will be desperately unhappy.
So it’s a real win/win.

Are we talking Newcastle supporter level of unhappiness? I don't think so.
He's already achieved greatness in the international game. He'd be disappointed, but proud of his WC campaign.
And his name's Luai you dick.
Can't wait for your weekly update on "Penrith fans".

 

[Desert Qlder]

Munster hasn't played well since the Broncos game in July. Absolute garbage when his team neeeded him at the pointy end, Grant not really a team player, plays for himself too much. Yeo and Hunt get a pass. JAC is a weapon with the ball and if they're not careful he'll pull their pants down as he did to NZ, but a liability when kicking to his corner. I would be doing this were I the Samoan brains trust. Try to get him creeping infield as he is wont to do.

Harry Grant is one of the players of the tournament.

I’ve hit a nerve. The bloke is a complete f**kwit, I guess you can relate.

 

[Perth Red]

Watching grub Tomkins get angsty with smug Luai in the semi was one of those, 'go on hurt each other' moments.

I can definitely relate cupcake. Me and thousands of happy winners. Remember winning?

 

[some11]

I'm on Samoa to cover the line.

This Oz team is nothing special. Weak forward pack, average centres. Tedesco is not a good fit either.

 

[wittyfan]

Australia by 30+ and be Samoa's daddy.

 

[JamesRustle]

With the Poms choking out at the SF stage, why can't they defer the start of the Final by 3 hours so I can watch it at a reasonable hour? f**king useless Poms.

Apparently all the Penrith haters think that Klein is a closet Penrith supporter, so based on that logic, my prediction for the result is directly dependant on how many more Penrith players are playing for Samoa as opposed to Australia I guess?

He lives in Penrith = Panthers fan.

Someone didn't tell the half of Penrith that go for Parra

 

[some11]

+18.5 straight disrespect for Samoa.

No I don’t. Remember a full set of teeth?

Anyhoo expecting a good contest for the first hour and then Australia to run away with it.
Australia 36-14
Grant - MOTM
Luai - A blubbering mess on the ground at full time.

 

[Blues Riff]

Agree @mozza91 how the game will go.
Of course Luai will be emotional, they all will. What's your point? How much you'll enjoy it? Says more about you than Luai.

An upset in this game would be the biggest thing to happen in rugby league in a long long time


The Samoan diaspora have made the rugby league World Cup known globally

 

[kiwileaguefan]

Aus 38
Samoa 10
60k

MOM: Grant

And Samoan fans to party hard regardless of the score

 

[taste2taste]

I'm starting to think this game could be closer than we think, this is the weakest kangaroos team in a few decades, Samoa are on a similar level as NZ were 10 to 15 years ago. Australia used to beat NZ by about 30 but would loose the occasional game... I'll say

Crowd ( they've already sold 60k) so let's say 64k

Score Aus 24-12 ( game in the balance until the 65th minute)

MOM Cleary to finally have a good game.

It's a shame Samoa have lost 5 players plus Leilua and Shulster never made it on the plane, this team could have been much stronger especially thier edge forwards.

It’s one of the worst Australian sides for ages

plus latrell has been playing like He doesn’t care and Munster not much better

just feel samoa had their grand final last week and won’t be mentally up for Australia

great point about how many players samoa has lost
