Match Thread: PNG vs GB

[miguel de cervantes]

Should be an interesting game. Really depends how well GB handle the heat+humidity.

Playing footy in 27°C/25°C dewpoint, that's damn uncomfortable for a bloke from australia, let alone northern england. Forwards are going to wilt.

3,300 tickets left now. Should be a crowd above 12,500 now.

Crowd looks real good for Womens game as well!

 

[Burns]

PNG women playing really well, leading 10-6

 

[kiwileaguefan]

Well done PNG women....what a game

 

[miguel de cervantes]

wow, great game PNG women. haven't they got better quickly!

 

[Perth Red]

Well done to the Orchids, great entertaining game. England flagged at the end with the heat and made too many errors in that last ten minutes. Well deserved by PNG in an historic game for Rugby League.

 

[Burns]

fair amount of GB fans in the crowd, good on em!

 

[Burns]

James Graham knocked into next week first tackle

Jammers done ...sad end to a glorious international career

He'll play next year as a farewell, one last chance against Australia.

GB looking way too good early on

 

[roughyedspud]

Who's that png #6 ??

Looks like he's got abit about him

 

[Perth Red]

Unusual to see so many empty seats at a Kumuls game in png?

GB’s agile forwards are going to win this one

 

[Perth Red]

How come no SL club signed Luke Page? He looks more than capable of playing SL.

 

[Burns]

There aren't that ,any seats, and i dont think it matters

GB doing this easy, will win by 30

 

[miguel de cervantes]

looks like a few have left after the orchids game (families?). with no evening public transport in one of the world's most danagerous cities i can't blame them. still a great crowd though.

 

[T-Boon]

England play the balls are a disgrace. Just get rid of the rule that you have to touch it with your foot. Clowns like Bennett just cheat it.

Yep, if GB kick on I think we'll see the crowd slowly decline throughout

 

[T-Boon]

England’s second try would have been disallowed if it was reviewed because of the touch footy ptb.

 

[Pommy]

Are the touch judges from the digicel cup? A good move if so we need to get more officials up to test standard.
