too true pom, been too busy watching to post.

If only nrl match was played and officiated as this four nations has been.

 

[playdaball]

Sam Tomkins has been the form fullback in this comp to date

 

[CC_Roosters]

Hall may have scored but he is not himself. Looks down and not playing the best in defence

 

[roughyedspud]

what a god damn game....

 

[roughyedspud]

2nd best test match ever for mine...after last years semi

 

[deluded pom?]

Can't wait for next year's series. If they take it to 25,000 seater stadiums they need shooting.

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

This tournament has been great, more please.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Australia can stick to trying to turn into AFl and we'll have England vs NZ a 3 match series every year

 

[roughyedspud]

amen brother

 

[bedlam breakout]

yes great tournament but at the end of the day its another mc namara failure - joel Tomkins should have been no where near that squad!

 

[roughyedspud]

joel went alright i thought...lost it abit in the last 15mins though granted

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Let me state right now, I couldn't give a stuff if NSW never win a SOO ever again, I want more Internationals, the last decade and a half of Tri/Four Nations/WC has smashed anything SOO can bring up and I dare anyone who has watched them all to say otherwise.

Take it back to the last ashes series when Morely got sent off in the first 10 seconds.

 

[strong_latte]

Again - another absolute classic England - NZ clash! I was almost hoping England would win so we'd see more of this next week.

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Oh yeah, bad luck England, you played a fantastic game, the kiwis just hung on, good stuff all round. Going to take a good side to beat the Sheepies.

Hear, hear! I love the blues and Origin, but to be honest I prefer watching internationals and just wish it had the same presence in terms of popularity. Would absolutely love to see a packed out ANZ Stadium for a Kangaroos v England/NZ match.

This seriously needs more attention - the past couple years of international footy have been phenomenal!

I agree about that player as I think he needs more time back in the game, but imo the coach has them playing the perfect game, it's up to the players to fulfill their potential.

The play England are playing now is a very attractive style, don't listen to the trolls at forums and blogs or paid ones in the papers that haven't a clue.

Great game from both teams and so far an absolutely absorbing tournament.

100% agreed. I, like pretty much everyone, have criticised McNamara, but England play a great looking attacking game. They sorely need a better defensive structure imo.

Tomkins was brought in way too soon, no question.

 

[Evil Homer]

McNamara is now 1-8 against NZ and Australia, and the one win was against the shitty NZ touring side of 2011 which barely counts IMO.

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Yet I don't think one of his sides have been smashed.

give over.
