Russell and De Belin were both pretty good for the Kumuls yesterday. Quite a few of their teammates impressed too so it'd be good if our guys did a bit of covert recruiting in that camp

Lachie Lam is a G U N - sign him up

Ravalawa on report for high shot again.

Mika was on a mission in defence especially, put on a few monster hits. Good to see him fired up I guess. Was a great game to watch that one.

Suli had a bit of a mixed bag in the Tonga-England match (which was another cracking game). Showed lovely soft quick hands with a try assist for Koula, but he also dropped the ball with the game on the line at the very end, and was made to look ordinary in defence early on by the England 6 Mikey Lewis. Mikey Lewis looked dynamite btw - I would be looking into his contract status!

What a phenomenal performance this arvo by the Kiwis, amazing to watch. Historic stuff

Defence and attack too good for the Aussies today. Madge and Price are a good pair and maybe they will be together for the SOO next year.

 

[This Year?]

Every Dragon bar Hunt, JDB and Russell have been poor in these international games.
Flanno and his staff have a mountain to climb in the offseason to make this side competitive.

Stories of the Aussies being out on a late night session on Thursday?

Can I just give a big wrap to all the Islander, PNG and Maori fans who really got into this tournament and brought it to life. Those that I know and work with enjoyed every minute, the Samoans and Fijians in particular are just the loveliest and happiest people on the planet and it's been a joy to interact with them over the past few weeks and enjoy their good natured banter - I copped it this morning. I just spoke to a Samoan delivery driver this morning who dropped in some parcels to me, when I mentioned the footy he just laughed and said ahh we got knocked out but we had some yummy food !
Sums it all up, everyone had some fun and watched some great footy, a nice end to the season.

Totally agree kit , the Islander boys played some great footy over the tournament and with those Kiwis put the icing on top of the cake with their thumping of our Kangaroos .

And finally what about Isaako , tremendous game , great speed and agility , absolutely destroyed our mob .

Isaako was a standout and as you say Gareth - great speed and agility, plus a great goal kicker to boot! The Dolphins have got a beauty in him and a big loss to the Broncos.
