[flamin]

Nightingale and JWH are out for the Kiwis.

Surely DWZ or Fusitua offers more than Beale in attack.

 

[umina panther]

Ben Cummins the international ref..........unbelievable

 

[TIM !!!!!!]

Crowd of 25,000 surely gotta get around 30,000

 

[roughyedspud]

Why?

 

[TheFrog]

Ben Cummins the international ref..........unbelievable

Gets the required result every time.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

^Yeah, a stitch up.

The video ref's an aussie too....thanks for yet another stacked deck Australia.
I was hoping we'd get an impartial and neutral pom ref who could actually keep the teams apart, but we've got aussie twat Cummins who needs another ref to hold his hand. Aus will no doubt exploit this with their usual illegal line speed.

 

[adamkungl]

England will be hoping for a NZ win here. Makes their task a shade easier.

The comp needs it. Otherwise it's all going to be a bit of a forgone conclusion for the Final.

 

[adamkungl]

QLD fans on FB are pissy that Maloney's chosen over Cronk

Could at least wait til after you lose.

England are going to have to defeat Australia to make the final either way. You'd think they'd prefer it not to be a must win for Australia.

He has got a point impartial refs is a joke. I said the same last week before you bring that up.

I'm aware of how shit it is, but it's at least common courtesy to let your team lose before you whinge about refs and conspiracies and so on. The etiquette of blaming refs just isn't what it used to be. I blame computer games and sugary foods.

He's from Penrith and f**ks us hard every time. Doesn't even try to hide it

Hopefully he f**ks his home team here too but I doubt it

 

[umina panther]

Hopefully he f**ks his home team here too but I doubt it

I'll f**k you shall our paths ever cross

 

[deluded pom?]

All this whinging about the ref and England aren't even playing

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Haha this thread is alright.

Funny stuff.

 

[Billythekid]

JWH is a big loss for the kiwis. Not a fan of Kahu being at the back. He's reasonably safe but I think NZ need more than that. Would much rather Fusitua there to offer some attacking flair. Not sure how Beale keeps his spot in front of Fusitua or DWZ. On paper Australia definitely looks the stronger of the 2 but NZ have won in the past despite that. Hoping for a good game whatever happens.

Crowd of 25,000 surely gotta get around 30,000

25K would be an outstanding result. You'd struggle to get that many to any test in Australia not involving Australia.

England will be hoping for a NZ win here. Makes their task a shade easier.

It doesn't really matter to England. Either way they're going to need to beat Australia when they face.
