2024 Pacific Championships - 18 Oct to 10 Nov

[KOMORI]

Look you guys can say what you like but Young has made as many metres in 13 minutes as Lindsay Collins managed in 47.

Did what he needed to do, didn’t look out of place.

Harsh on Collins, poor bloke had his neck bolts knocked out early on and had to play with electrical tape holding his head on… pretty impressive effort I’d say

Australian squad members wearing ill-fitting jackets made from poor quality material.

We need Derek Guy on to this asap.

 

[King-Gutho94]

So Australia are a 48 point better team without DCE and Teddy.

Cant forget poor Nicho was on the bench as well last year

 

[10$ Ferret]

Great defensive game, Aside from Moses kicking the Australian halves were quite ordinary. Hammer and Turbo were great but geez, if Mals thinks that's the best FB we have then he is massively deluded. Did bugger all and often just looked out of place

 

[This Year?]

Just watched it. I thought Tonga scrambled well in defence. Their attack reminded me of the Dragons. Power game, slow and not enough change of angles, all the good work brought undone by an occasional shit kick. Their efforts deserved at least a try to bring their great supporters into the game. Australia should have won by 30+ but their handling was poor.
It would have been nice to see the crowd 35k+. Maybe ticket prices are too high?
Absolutely cracking thread though!

England would win an ashes series against the worst Aus line up in my memory of 40 plus years of watching the game - no kimmorlys lockyers sterlings or kennys to see here

Hammer and Turbo need to provide better service for their wingers. Hammer kept running in such a manner that when he did pass to his wingher, he had virtually no room to maneuver. Turbo just goes himself all tyhe times. Looked like he'd rather pass a stone than the ball to his winger.

Some Dragons defence there from Tonga.

This ground is a dump

Love the Hymn.

 

[MRN]

Love the Hymn.

Easily my favourite of the prematch stuff. Well, in the absence of the old PNG stand and yell at the opponent twice that they used to do.

 

[Wb1234]

How didn’t they score

 

[Wb1234]

Awful kick on last

 

[_snafu_]

Ben Hunt kick there.

 

[Wb1234]

Kikau with the try assist for png

A Ben Hunt try assist to the opposition team.

 

[MRN]

Ving Rhames just had a shocker.
