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

[Smug Panther]

Samoa got way closer than England would have

 

[taste2taste]

Kangaroos were always in control, a bit of luck early to Samoa would have had the game in the balance ( 40/20 not called, ado Carr's hand stopping a to'o try ) Kangaroos would have still won but at least it would have been a bit more of an edge of your seat game.

 

[no name]

Klein was pretty awful both ways.
Bumping To’o in the air has been a penalty all season unless there was different rules for the WC.
Hands all over the ball in the ruck from both teams, flops from both teams.
The sloppy ruck probably benefited Samoa more which kept the score somewhat close, but it was terrible officiating.

 

[taste2taste]

Samoa will only get stronger, missing a shed load of players and didn't get blown off the park.

Also scenes of Tualagi and Tino partying in the Samoan dressing rooms after the game might be a hint who they'll be playing for next time

No one "lives" in Penrith.
It's just a place where you survive until you can escape.

That's not luck.
That's sheer incompetence by the touch judge.

 

[6 more kfc buckets]

Cleary with 3 try assists. 4 linebreak assists. A 40/20. 4 tackle breaks. Forced line dropout. 124m gained..

But we'll hear he did nothing. But somehow DCE is better after an origin series victory where he had 0 try assists.

A bad Cleary game is a Motm Dce Game

He's definitely locked down that no.14 jersey.

What a surprise that Australia wins again.

Just laughable how they were ranked 4th in the world before the tournament.

If NZ had a full strength side and not spread amongst Tonga, Samoa etc they'd have a decent side.

RCG JAC and Jake Turbo 3 of our best this tournament and didn't make State of Origin haha

NZ had a side good enough to win the tournament, but when the whips were cracking couldn't take their chances. Samoa did and won through.

When the whips were cracking, Ashley Klein and that idiotic video referee whipped us with them.

You can't expect to win a world cup final with Milford in your team.

As I said earlier, unfortunately the real final was last week. It's just a shame that the organizers rigged the draw to give England the best chance of making the final, and they still messed it up. It's an even bigger shame the Kiwis were screwed by the officials last week.

Whatever helps I guess.

NSW 30
Samoa 10

 

[This Year?]

After week 1 of the tournament nobody would have picked Samoa to make the final after having 60 put on them by England.
Today they were outclassed by the world champions who worked over their middles then exposed the edges. Milford didn't have the best game and once CHT was taken out they lost some direction. The Samoans don't have the depth Australia have.
They never gave up and should be absolutely proud of their effort given the side they had out there. A few things didn't go their way either but they just got on with it. If they had a decent 7, a legit 9 and better bench forwards it would have been closer.
Australia weren't at their best and still managed to win due to the heroics of Yeo, Murray and Martin.
Cleary was decent but his goalkicking was horrible, Tedesco was ok but the other spine players were garbage.

 

[RL The greatest game]

Great team performance Aus, very solid.

Australian players know that the biggest honour in team sport is to play for your country, not a Melbourne suburb
