          I'm 50/50 on whether it was a strip or Fifita just carried the ball loose, but the ref should have gone to the TMO to double check.

          Thats what I thought , one of those rare ones where you could make an argument for both cases ,

          but they shouldve gone upstairs to check it , but I dont believe the controversy wouldve ended there

            @kiwiinmelb looks like the Tongans are giving us a lesson on what we should have done in 2007, protests through the streets of Paris!

              I would have done it outside Barnes's house. With my turkey frying gear on his front porch.

                  Twats

                  3rd night of ignorant fluffybunnies honking their horns for hours on end. It went on for 7 hours last night and we are at 5 hours so far tonight.

                  Oh cool the media is talking up the passion retardation

                  Where are the police? Well it’s a bit like the hecklers veto but this time with the fear of violence.

                    Worst part is , do they actually understand the ref may be right ?

                    What the fuck are they actually protesting about and what do they hope to achieve. ?

                      I don’t think it has much to do with the game anymore.. the later evening crowd is just enjoying the disruption and anti social behaviour. It’s a really scummy group out there right now

                      Most other groups would have been dispersed. The cops are waiting it out because they are worried about violence.. which makes sense when there is no negative media coverage. That lack of negativity means there is no pressure for them to do their job

                      Tough shit for the thousands that live in the city and pay the cops salaries..

                        Barrister Nalesoni Tupou is petitioning the Rugby League International Federation (RLIF) to award Tonga a try and a conversion for the play, which would gift Tonga a 24-18 victory and send them into Saturday's final against Australia.
                        

                        :thinking:

                        Is it just me, or do people see racism everywhere nowadays? And is the Tongan team/union risking to be seen as sore losers by hiring a lawyer? Can they even achieve what they want?

                          This is becoming absurd. Has anyone from the team come out and said thanks for the support, but we had 80mins and didn't score enough points?

                              Then this is probably symptomatic of a broader issue. Because I sincerely doubt being next to lose (badly) to the Kangaroos means that much to anyone.

                                Like Duluth said, just an excuse for a bunch of idiots to be as disruptive as they can be.
                                Imagine staying in the hotel while that horde were down below outside acting as they were.

                                  Bloody Tongans, you'd never get this from Samoans.....😀 just trolling...

                                  Pack mentality mixed with a little bit of not understanding how things work and you end up with this shit. Not an indictment on Tongan people, there's ignorance everywhere.

                                  What made me laugh was the hopelessness of it. The referee is Australian, neither team is from where the game was played and the governing body is based in London....protesting in NZ achieves what? Ms Adhern isn't going to call WRL and request a review, it wasn't the Kiwi's that played. Other than having multiple NZers play for Tonga and having the game here, NZ plays no part in any of this. Its hilarious to me.

                                    Old Mitchy Pearce decides to sign a $4 million deal with the Knights. Newcastle needed to meet the salary cap limit so threw a ton of cash at Pearce to get there. Not a bad player for them to pick up and looking at their 2018 roster I don't think Newcastle will win the wooden spoon.

Ms Adhern isn't going to call WRL and request a review, it wasn't the Kiwi's that played. Other than having multiple NZers play for Tonga and having the game here, NZ plays no part in any of this. Its hilarious to me.

                                        @raznomore said in NRL 2017:

                                        Bloody Tongans, you'd never get this from Samoans.....😀

                                        I've course not, the Samoans would never get close in the semi finals ... neither would the Kiwis :(.
