A bit late in reply but have just recovered from my hangover. Great game by a new Kiwis side against a new Kangaroos side.
The forward pack were the biggest factor but we all knew they would be good against the Aussies with players like Jesse Bromwich in their team - it was the playmakers who needed to step up and did.
Brandon Smith was the stand out for me. I'll be honest, I didn't expect that much from him in this match but he was calm in the dummyhalf role and looks to be the legit replacement to Cam Smith at the Melbourne Storm.
DWZ also played his best game for the Kiwis. Never been a fan of his, felt there were always better options, but he was a beast at the back. Kiwis now have two great options at fullback.
Have always wanted to see what Shaun Johnson would be like at standoff and have to say he was pretty good. Nikorima helped out around the ruck area meaning SJ had a little more time to compute everything.
Esan Marsters and Joseph Manu look like the replacements for Peta Hiku and Dean Whare as the starting centres.
@sneakdefreak Assuming DWZ maintains his form, how do you think they will accommodate RTS once he is available for selection? Move him to five eight or halfback?

I think RTS has to play fullback with DWZ to the wing. It's a good position for the Kiwis to have multiple contenders in positions.

1 RTS 2. Rapana 3. Manu 4. Marsters 5. DWZ 6. Johnson 7. Nikorima might be the backline going forward (unless Te Maire Martin plays his way into a halves spot)

Konrad Hurrell is moving to the Superleague. Has been released by the GC Titans and has signed with Leeds Rhinos.

@sneakdefreak i wonder if his suddenly super hot mrs will leave the sunny GC(although currently miserably wet and has been for over 2 weeks) and follow him to the cold of the mining town league.
@raznomore Who's his suddenly super hot missues and why is she only suddenly superhot?

@raznomore Surprises me that more players don't want to sign with GC. All the instagram girls move there to "grow their brand".

work out. Get fake tits. "influence" on instagram.
Sounds like a fucking top place to be a pro footballer.
Although it probably also explains why everyone who goes there plays shit.

Crazy crowd, should be an interesting game.... Aus will want to start strong!
-
Hopefully Tonga don't use up their energy too soon.
-
They can't afford to gift tries like that, could be a long night for the Tongans.

@crazy-horse the whole Tongan team is looking gased already

Yep, going to be a long night. At least they got one try.
-
Too many errors from Tonga, you just can’t gift Aussie opportunities like that.
24-6 now, this might get ugly.
-
@higgins the score. Although I wouldn’t mind seeing the Tongans dish out some biff on DCE
So Aussie get to take two conversions, the second from in front, because of a bit of accidental contact with the try scorers head, yet they never penalise a head high tackle, what the actual fuck?
