2017 Rugby League World Cup

[Terry Zarsoff]

Amazing scenes from the pre-match crowd for the Eng-Len game. More blue and white shirts with a Jaycar logo than national colours lol.

It's moments like these I wish I had a mobile kebab franchise.

The Scottish fans should have been in Christchurch.

Samoa look badly coached. Then I hear Parish is their coach. Figures.

The Parishioners are perishing out there.

Like a few, I think DCE would have put off any surgery if he had been selected for his country. But once he pulled out of the PM's XIII game because Mrs Cherry-Evans was due to give birth he seemed to drop back down the pecking order so he decided to have the surgery.

Oh well, our gain, their loss.

This 90% Tongan crowd is amazing

32-18 Tonga beats their nemesis Samoa

Commentator said the game started with 36 balls, but there are only 2 left as the Crowd kept them as souvenirs 😀

Bunty Afoa has been amazing in a losing side for Samoa. I’ve only seen him as a warriors bench player in the past. His stamina in defence and good lines in attack have stood out. Manly could do worse than get him as a mid tier player.

Get Taukieaho off the Rorters, he is a forward that kicks

The Tongan #7 Hingano was fantastic

 

[winnyason]

Haingo tonga 7 warriors player super game swap for blake green ?

Watching the Tonga vs Samoa match was something like watching English first division soccer. There was just something exciting about the whole experience, not only on the field. The Island states make Rugby League live in a way NRL just cant match.

Now for Bilal to represent Manly at #3 and smash the Poms

 

[Harvies elbow]

For this game I am full Lebanese !!

Paficic tests remind me of what rugby league should be.

Well the Isis anthem wasn't much chop.

Fully sick bro’

 

[Harvies elbow]

Thanks @manlyfan76 that's a hard act to follow. I'm still wiping tears from my eyes....
Mick Stephenson rated Chris Heighinigton the 'pommiest forward' since Vince Karalius...
Interesting take.

 

[HappilyManly]

The Pommie Ref has made 2 wrong calls against Lebanon already

 

[Harvies elbow]

Bad read by the left centre and it wasn't Bilal.

Wait till the bombs start raining down.

What number is he.

 

[Harvies elbow]

What number is he.

3. He just got a pedantic penalty against him. He's defending well.
