And the kiwis draw with that super power of rugby league , Scotland .
I didnt watch but was following online, it sounded like they were lucky to nab a draw (Kiwis, not Scotland/England B )

David Kidwell won't be coach of the Kiwis for the RLWC next year and his two assistants shouldn't be there right now.

Aren't these the same assistants 'let go' by the Warriors just a few weeks ago?
-
apparently Kearney offered kidwell his assistance and he knocked it back .
Can't help but think kidwell needed experienced people around him to ease him in , like Kearney had with Bennett .
Looking a bit out of his depth ATM.

It was a poor performance and against a better side we would've got 40 put on us. Kicking game still a massive concern.

One of them was - Justin Murphy aka the worst defensive skills coach known to mankind. Shame the NZRL couldn't maybe get Ivan Cleary or even someone like Tim Sheens to take on an advisor role for this tour.

@raznomore not saying it's going to happen but these are the times when the Kiwis and the Warriors pull an effort out of thier arse and surprise everyone. That's what I am telling myself anyway.

I know what you mean but i cant see it. This team is too disjointed. They need a leader in the backs and Johnson doesnt appear to be that guy.
Add to that Bromwich probs not vocal enough to be captain. Id probably throw the armband to Luke and see how he goes. Hes out of form but I think hed grow about a foot and actually lead this rabble.

Klopp is wondering who the hell these guys are.
And they're probably wondering who the hell is Klopp (I take it he's the coach of the club)
-
@raznomore I can't see the Kiwis getting the W. Kidwell appears to think if they defend a lot they might get the win. Also seems intent on playing the Australian "structured" style instead of the Kiwi "up the guts" style that benefits our forward pack (smash it up, dummy half run, dummy half run, adlib etc).
-
@Sneakdefreak there are always going to coaches coming in thinking they can fix the Kiwis/warriors. But indidnt expect it to be Kidwell.

Looks like I'm the only idiot who stayed up to watch this absolute train wreck. Kidwell is clueless and has to go. How a guy like that is going to inspire anybody is beyond me, and his ultra conservative selections have obviously put a heap of pressure on Johnson to do everything on his own. I wouldn't have minded a loss or even a heavy loss if they had given a bunch of exciting youngsters some game time with a mindset to attack and with a view to development for the wc next year, instead of selecting some of the players who are well past their used by date and are clearly there to contain rather than attack. They couldn't even contain. Embarrassing.

I didnt sit up because of work on Monday , thought I would tape and watch before work without knowing the result,
made the mistake of looking at my phone when I got up and there was a text, "just like the bad old days, fuckin useless "
So went online for a look , apparently we were completing around 38 per cent the aussies around 98 , dont think I need to watch it , probably says enough
