Arghhhh Mannering, you goose

Luke looks good

 

[Meth]

haha genius from Luke to earn a penalty

And the Kiwi's are going for goal. They don't deserve to win

Nice work from Cronk, off a regulation Gallen offload

Funny thread this.

Australia, like normal, are behind the rest of the developed world :sarcasm:

We're going for penalty goals in good field position

We don't deserve to win and we are lucky to be 18-10 down at halftime. We were the better team from minutes 30-40 and were a good chance of scoring a try just before time and we blew it

Shillington is a dirty grub fighting someone half his size

9 showing on delay :lol:

Anyway, my problem with the Kiwi's early on was composure. The reason the Aussies are so good is because they dont take risks unless they have to. They know how to wear you down with short passes off the ruck. They work the middle better than anyone else and then when they get into a decent position, they look for the gaps they have created by doing this.

The Kiwi's have gone more direct in the last 15 minutes and are playing a more "Aussie" type of game now and it showed with them getting back into it.

They cant keep going for goal though. Its a joke.

I said last week when England went for goal 5 out that put them 8-6 up that it would be there downfall. 2 points is not always the best option because you lose field position. A simple mistake in after kick off and you are in trouble.

Lol @ NZ's little dick syndrome kicking for goals.

Loving it, finally a real test match with intensity.

Good work B Moz

Boyd scores off a forward pass

Boyd scores off a forward pass

was nowhere near forward. Kiwis kick for goal, Aussies go for tries. that is the difference

St George did it all year and won a premiership

Difference being that their defense was up to it

Boyd scores off a forward pass

Never forward. It came out of Morris' hands in a backards motion. It goes back to what I was saying about not panicing though. Nuuausala's stupid offload after his brilliand drive cost them big in the end. No need to go for the killer blow in the 1st few minutes of the 2nd half. Take the drive, kick the ball, force the mistake.

fair enough. it looked forward, but looking at the replay it looked ok

you haven't seen me claiming that refereeing is the difference between the 2 sides. Don't be so sensitive

 

[Meth]

btw- it wasn't forward, but it was certainly 'near forward'

Pritchard off injured- bummer. He's played well.

 

[Billythekid]

I have two things to say.

When are NZ going to show up? They have been atrocius and that choice to kick for goal was simply astounding.

Secondly why the f*ck is this not live. What an absolute joke. The best part is they keep on skipping multiple tackles to make it look live.
