Can't wait ...

For New Zealand to win

The Kiwis boast more skill and creativity among their little men and Michael Maguire will be looking at ways to make the most of it. They need to keep moving Tonga's big men Fifita, Taukeiaho and Fonua-Blake around and test their mobility. They might have the muscle and resolve to cope with a power game, but that will play straight into the Tongans' hands. The wise thing to do would be to play an up-tempo, crowd-pleasing game and rely on speed and talent.

For Tonga to win

The Tongans are loaded with size and power up front but they're a bit thin in the playmaking department. Coach Kristian Woolf will have to rely heavily on a makeshift halves combination of Tuimoala Lolohea (Leeds Rhinos), who was the only overseas player named in the squad, and Cowboys jack-of-all-trades John Asiata.

Mt Smart Stadium, Auckland

I think Fifita is ruled out due to suspension.

**David48atTD** · 23-06-2019, 04:57 PM

For those who can't see the game.

Half time - so far, so good !

**David48atTD** · 23-06-2019, 06:10 PM

^ Yep ... looks like a decider in SYD

**Headworx** · 23-06-2019, 07:12 PM

Oh was it game 2 today?. I was watching something else and forgot all about it

**Loy Toy** · 23-06-2019, 07:28 PM

A right fucking smacking for the cane toads.

Even the ref could not help them!

**TizMe** · 23-06-2019, 09:04 PM

Qld sent out the U13 girls side.

Hopefully game 3 will be a repeat.

Mate, if you're a QLD fan ... a game probably best not watched.

NSW dominated across all areas of the game.

**TizMe** · 24-06-2019, 09:24 AM

Freddy certainly silenced his critics..

Now what to do with Latrell Mitchell for game 3.. if his head is in the right place, he'll come back and score 4 tries!

Wrong Mitchell.... Pearce has been given the nod at half-back as Cleary wont be over his ankle injury.
Klemer called back in as Tariq Sims is suspended.

Its great to see that even when key team members are ruled out that there's other great players chomping at the bit!

GO THE BLUES

**buriramboy** · 10-07-2019, 07:06 PM

Bloody good game that, only really started watching league the last year or so but that's definitely one of the best games I've seen. 24-20.

**buriramboy** · 10-07-2019, 07:08 PM

Make it 26-20 didn't think was going to bother with the conversion.

**Loy Toy** · 10-07-2019, 07:24 PM

MEGA.

The Blues are on a roll but I must say all Aussies that featured in that great game regardless of their colour deserves credit!

**TizMe** · 10-07-2019, 10:16 PM

Blues win series when Cam Smith isn't doing the refereeing

**TizMe** · 10-07-2019, 10:18 PM

So who gets the sack from the morons for losing the series... Walters or DCE or both?

McGuire is such a grub that he even knocks out his own team mates.

**David48atTD** · 11-07-2019, 03:49 AM

Ripper of a game.

The Blues finally learnt how to play like QLD'ers.

Kudos to NSW on an epic win.

C U next year.

**Loy Toy** · 11-07-2019, 08:22 AM

Kalyn Ponga was the difference between the two sides in the first game and James Tedesco was the difference in the last game.

Seems fullbacks are important assets these days.

By the way I class Tedesco as the the new Slater for Australia and could be the best fullback ever to play the game.

I agree. He plays with such energy and power.

Lets just hope that all his injury problems are behind him.

(I wish he was still wearing the Black & Gold)

**Loy Toy** · 11-07-2019, 10:29 AM

^ Yep how the Tigers let Tedesco go is beyond belief!

Ian Schubert, chief salary cap auditor for the National Rugby League.

Any coincidence that he played 149 games for the roosters ?

**David48atTD** · 20-07-2019, 12:02 PM

Game of the Round for me ...

Saturday's NRL kicks off with the Roosters and the Knights from the SCG

Roosters welcome back stars

The Roosters and Knights will be glad to welcome back a number of key players for their afternoon match at the SCG on Saturday afternoon.

The Chooks are coming off a 15-12 loss to the Cowboys as 12-point favourites in an afternoon to forget in Gosford last weekend.

The Knights played an equally as flat game against the Dogs, losing by six points at home.
In their round 11 clash in the Hunter, the Knights crushed the Roosters 38-12 in a statement performance from the Novocastrians.

James Tedesco and Boyd Cordner are both back for the Chooks as they name their strongest side in a number of weeks.
They are just 5-5 in their past 10 games but still hold a game advantage on fifth placed Manly in the standings.

The Knights welcome Kalyn Ponga back as one of four inclusions.

**TizMe** · 20-07-2019, 02:04 PM

I watched Sharks v Warriors last night.

Dickhead Andrew Fifita handed the game to the Warriors. 12 minutes to go and 2 points in front, idiot hit Lachlan Burr late and off the ball, resulting in 10 in the bin and a penalty right in front of the posts.

Warriors rookie Chanel Harris-Tavita kicked two points from the penalty to tie the game up at 18-18.
Green kicked a field goal a few minutes later to win the game 19-18.
