The team aren't that slow. It's more a case of this is what happens when you appoint literally the worst coach in the country to coach a national team.

Don't appoint an English coach. Get an Australian coach, they are just better. Your wingers are slow, why are they in the side. Seriously, you have the halves but that is where it ends. I have watched heaps of SL and the players are there if you get the right coach.

The BBC commentary just skitzed out and went all staticky- I still prefer that to Costigan

Those commenting on the crowd should've been watching earlier on. Wide shots show pretty clearly they've ticketed to force the crowd to look packed in big sections of the stadium. I'm gonna say somewhere between 15k and 20k, a good solid crowd at Wellington. 16k is about the average in recent years.

We need these english commentators to call every game. The least bias commentators I have ever heard in League

Agreed, but any English coach would also be better. McNamara is the guy who took Bradford Bulls from 5 consecutive Grand Finals to 13th position in 4 years. Briscoe is quite fast on the wing, but he's playing outside a guy who is completely unable to pass the ball. Goulding wouldn't be in the team if it wasn't for the injury to Hall, he shouldn't even be on the tour really.
