Well that was a long fucking way from the WC. Fucking awesome, suck that Kangaroos.

Right and left edges, sort it out and we’ll look alright.

Yep. The pack are the business. I was impressed with Liu who I clearly don't watch enough. Even Adam Blair came on and put in a decent shift reminiscent of his early career. And they give man of the match to a nancy boy back. WTF.
Looking forward to the England tour now as we usually get better as we tour.
-
good game , enjoyed that ,
team seemed to respond well to the new coach
-
We'll take that win. So, that's what the Kiwis look like when they have a coach.
Yep, before Kidwell took over ,
we were actually having a dream run against the Aussies and were the number 1 rated side , something I have never seen in my lifetime ,
this shouldnt be as much of an upset as people think , the talent is still there .
-
Much needed result for the Kiwis, but I do have some concerns. The Aussies had an off day and, like the Warriors always seem to do, they allowed the Aussies to score just before half time. This along with the Kiwis almost letting the Aussies snatch it at the end suggests to me this may only be a one off. Hope I'm wrong.

Maybe. I think the Kiwis especially in attack still looked a bit disjointed. They seem to have a history of taking longer to gel than Australia. I think if we played Australia again after the England tour the gap would be wider.

I think if we sorted out edge defence the gap would be wider. Once we got going with possession we wore them down so that they had to make lots and lots of tackles. (Also, I think I underrated Johnson yesterday, while I still think the forwards were massive, his short kicking kept ensuring Oz had to give the ball back to us with goal line drop outs.) That defensive effort showed in the second half and their comeback was based on going wide again.
Also, how good is Smith going to be when he regularly plays at 9.
@Sneakdefreak must still be celebrating as he hasn't posted his review yet.
