The NRL Season of 2016

I get the feeling that Kidwell will be relegated to assistant coach again in 2017, regardless of the results in the 4N, and Stacey Jones will take over as head coach for the RLWC (currently assistant coach at Warriors, had a good run as head coach in NSW Cup).

@Sneakdefreak said in The NRL Season of 2016:
I'm hoping that Te Maire Martin grows into a player with Penrith and Foran pulls his life back together. Really lost faith in SJ.
"Kata had a good game, but still, he shouldn't be playing for us ...."
Neither should Fekitoa for the ABs if we take that line, but that's a different thread discussion about schoolboy rugby "scholarships" in NZ.
I said the same about Fekitoa.

in 2005 Bennett was coaching Australia and we beat them twice .
But I hear what you are saying , he could be the difference , our first game against England could decide our destiny , lose that , and it might be a bit hard .
-
Mannering will be a big lose for the Kiwis.
-
Kiwis get home 17 -16 , a bit scratchy, but the good news was Shaun Johnson was good , man of the match ,
We all know he is hot and cold ,but any chance the kiwis have in this tournament involves him hitting form
-
Sure it was 17-16 but I was impressed that the Kiwis took the one point lead with about 15 mins to go and shut down England the rest of the way (who have some top NRL talent, some whom I didn't know were Poms).
Good that SJ has found some form again, love it when he intercepts for the run away try.
Btw, is England fullback Jonny Lomax the son of former Kiwis prop John Lomax?
-
-
@Sneakdefreak Is he? He looks pretty white..... Good game, SJ had a great kicking game and picked Widdop's pocket for the try. I was impressed by our 1 and 5 who I'm not familiar with. Big hard running boys
-
No relation.
Lomax's son was actually an U20 Australian rugby rep last year.
-
so, did that field goal miss?
-
-
-
Of course it did. That's why the Pommie players and crowd started losing their shit ... oh hang on ...
-
@mariner4life No way did it miss. That's like saying Beaver's kick missed
-
the way the people around SJ reacted seemed to be consistant with the TJ's raising their flags....but that doesn't suit a good old conspiracy.
I reckon the Kiwis get favourable treatment cos they wear black and as such are confused with the ABs by the all mighty beings that determine who gets favourable calls in sport.
-
@taniwharugby Then why don't the black caps get mistaken for the ABs?
-
@canefan its the white they used to wear mainly and the beige...
-
@taniwharugby I just thought it was because we are a bit shit. Or it could be your explanation
