    Just listened to an interview with Kidwell. Jaysus.

    I know Kidwell is not the smartest guy, and his dumbness might be the reason he comes across as a perfect blend of delusional and arrogant, but he blamed the fans for the team's shit RLWC campaign, claimed the team is heading in the right direction and tried to come across as the victim of this debacle. All within a ten-minute interview.

    It was a beauty alright. He is living in a fantasy world. How did an obvious simpleton like him become coach of a major NZ sports team?

    Some holes in the screening process I reckon (actually I would say the same if he was just a talkback caller calling in to give his thoughts) 😉

          OK that's a complete farce. Pass went behind the dummy runner, no obstruction that's just a legitimate attacking move. Similar to the disallowed Lebanon try - the standard of referreing in League is just dire.

            By no means the best Kangaroos team we've seen, but they are so far above everyone else it's not funny.

              The Kiwis should hire Dave Rennie.

              Sure, he knows nothing about league. But then neither does Kidwell.

                I have a really sneaking suspicion that the NZRL is going to keep wearing their blinkers and rehire Kidwell because they can't afford anyone else.
                Kearney won't want the gig because he is going to be on the hot seat going into the 2018 NRL season (my prediction is he will be fired at the end of the 2018 season).
                Cleary would be the best suited candidate (smart coach who knows most of the Kiwi players) but he's going to be leading a rebuild of Wests Tigers (Warriors should have rehired him).
                Maybe Bluey can come back and try to redeem himself but he's been away from the game for a while.

                  It would have to be another mighty effort for Tonga to overcome England I think.

                  So the predicted final of Australia v England/NZ comes to pass, yes?

                      They’re doubling down. Really?

                      Well...

                      SJ is an overrated and overpaid Prima Donna, and Kidwell is the worst ever sporting coach in NZ international history. Even a group of primary school kids could have coached the Kiwi league team to the same results...

                      As for Blair, he’s such a useless twat that no wonder the Warriors JUST HAD TO HAVE HIM.

                      What a bunch of fuckwits. I don’t think even the Black Caps have ever plumbed such depths with such breathtaking wankery.

                      @donsteppa there was a point in the game around half time where Commentators said that SJ hadn’t been tackled ed. When you have a playmaker that doesn’t take it to the line you have no chance. The same issue with the Warriors. If you have to wait 70 minutes until he starts running then most times the game is over. For all his talent he seems to want to play touch rugby. Time for the coaches to pick someone else that will run to the line.

                                I won’t pump him up too much but I think he could be a good fit for the warriors , no superstar but a good decision maker that brings structure, he could bring to the halves what sj doesn’t .

                                          I saw a fair bit of Blake green at the storm ,
                                          I won’t pump him up too much but I think he could be a good fit for the warriors , no superstar but a good decision maker that brings structure, he could bring to the halves what sj doesn’t .

                                          Pretty confident we will have the best spine in the NRL next year.
