World Cup observations

[2012....Sharks Year]

Nuh. They threw the game away. Were going backwards from about 50 minutes. 6 agains started happening. Those 2 blokes telling Briton to run along and score mate. The middle defence coallapsed.

NZ weren't great but Fiji didn't have the mental strength nor physical fitness.

Api's one on one attempted strip 2 meters out was one of the dumbest plays I've seen in a long time.

He’s already a Tiger….

I’m going to the Tonga/Samoa game today - looking forward to seeing some of our boys rip in.

What a game eh! That last Tongan try was awesome scored by Sexy Katoa. I was hoping they would win as England gave Samoa a bath in the first game. Still I think both those teams are a bit off the pace to the top 3. Poms have been a surprise really, they look strong.

Was Sifa playing for Tonga?

I only caught the highlights this morning and didn't see him.

His name is not in the team lists if that means anything.

 

[Mr Angry]

Sifa played one game was not selected along with D. Fifita for the crunch game result speaks for itself. These were the preferred centres 3. Moses Suli 4. Viliami Penisini...........

Woolf is clearly over rated. Samoa got spanked 60-6 by England, at least Sione Katoa is fit.

England v Australia final.

Edit, not sure Sifa even played, he was named, but did not seem to play V Wales. Was not named in the other games.

 

[Quigs]

I just watched the Samoa Tonga clash without knowing the fulltime score. It wasn't a bad game to watch.
Do they have the match review in the World Cup? If they did I think Easts' Saulii with his knees and whoever got Fafita with the cocked forearm will be missing from the game against the Poms.

Pssst, I want them both to play mind you.

 

[Chimp]

Sifa disappointingly didn’t play. Tonga wasted spots on Suli, Penisini, old man Kaifusi and David Fifita - Fifita is a lazy oaf, he actually hides behind the play the ball so he can’t be passed the ball.

Suallii and Paulo should both cop a game ban; but I doubt they will.

*Update: Paulo got a 1 match ban, but will likely appeal, Suallii just a warning

 

[Tiger Shark]

As much as it's disappointing they dont play it's also good they are less likely to get injured. Any serious injuries now will have a serious impact on next seasons availability.

Separately, I’d encourage people to watch the wheelchair rugby. If you haven’t seen it before, I reckon you’ll be surprised how entertaining it is, and it’s absolutely brutal. It’s a really good watch. The players are mental, they belt each other and even throw themselves head first into the floor to try and score, it’s brilliant. A really good version of the game for TV audiences, and I reckon an area of huge potential growth for the game - it’s entirely inclusive, as anybody can play it.

So, out of the Sharks players…

Katoa is fit and firing and now unlikely to get injured prior to 2023…

Talakai ditto…?

Iro ditto…

BHU hopefully minor injury, but no more WC games…

The only ones to hold our breath about are: Ronaldo and Nikora…

Correct?

 

[Ozzi_78]

No you didn’t ?

Hey what time, Queensland time that is, does the game actually kick off.

 

[bluefox68]

Quigsy, old mate - the schedule is on nrl.com, but happy to be your admin. assistant…

This Sat. 5:45 am - QUEENSLAND time!

 

[Quigs]

Thanks Bluey and I am glad that you are happy about the possibility of becoming my Admin Assistant but unfortunately there is a high benchmark for such a position and you as a mere Moderator are obviously underskilled and not of the right cut of cloth to be the holder of such a lofty and honourable position.

No offence mind you as I do understand.

But your assistance with the kick off time has been noted and if you so desire to make application for a Admin position with some lower social class let me know as I might be able to offer a friendly word in the right persons ear.

Fire up you soft cocks!
