The NRL Season of 2016
-
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?
-
-
-
@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
-
Holy heck, Kevin Procter has left the Storm and signed a four year deal with the GC.

I see that Kidwell has gone the conservative route once again by selecting Beale to cover Nightingale. What's with this guy? Does he despise players with X factor? Surely players such as Fuss or DWZ would have been better selections. How can we even dream of beating Australia if we select a backline that is incapable of scoring tries. Total plum this Kidwell.
-
Aussie win 14-8 in a tough test match. Kiwis did alright and in terms of the tournament, appear to be setting themselves up a good run down the home straight.
Of course none of this will matter in NZ because they just lost to Ireland for the first time in about 110 years.
